1 00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:15,920 The Fenix Auto is a full-size minimal design keyboard complete with goldplated 2 00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:19,039 Cherry MX Brown switches. Click the link in the video description to learn more. 3 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:23,760 So, for today's video, we're going to be doing a durable battery bank death 4 00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:26,960 match. So, we've got the Unifund U821, an Amazon Basics, which is just going to 5 00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:33,120 be our control group because that's not actually a durable battery bank. a chiro 6 00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:35,280 tough, a pos power active, and a jar of 7 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:38,800 tank. What I'm going to do is drop them from a certain height, then dunk them 8 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:42,000 underwater at a certain height, and then increase the height and or depth, 9 00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:46,160 depending on what test we're doing, back to back to back to back until we have 10 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:49,520 one survivor, or possibly more than one because I don't know how deep and how 11 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:54,360 high I can get, but I'm expecting it'll come down to one survivor. So, let's 12 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,360 begin. 13 00:01:02,239 --> 00:01:08,560 So, the first depth test is just going to be on this first step. We're not 14 00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:11,520 going that deep. The Amazon Basics is probably going to die. The rest of them 15 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,040 are probably going to live. Let's try it out. I am making all this, making sure 16 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:18,360 all the seals are fairly tight before I put them in. 17 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:25,560 The jar of seal is a little bit more finicky than some of the other ones. 18 00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:34,400 This one like floats. So, when you're looking at IP ratings, that's done for a 19 00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:37,439 half an hour at X depth, depending on the IP rating that you have. I'm not 20 00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:41,119 going to leave these underwater for half an hour because honestly, if you drop it 21 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,400 in the water, you should get it within that time. And if you can't get it 22 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:50,000 within half an hour, it's probably going to be under the water for a lot longer than half an hour. And we're not going 23 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:53,600 to make this like a 6 day battery bank death match. So, leave it under the 24 00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:56,399 water for like 5 minutes at a time and then it's probably fine. Also, because 25 00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:02,960 I'm trying to put them on the same surface, I'm not just dropping them into the water. That might happen later, but 26 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,240 for this first step thing, I put them in one by one. So, if I have it be a little 27 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,920 bit longer, like five something minutes, and not just a dunk, then it's a higher 28 00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:16,959 chance that everything is more equal. Okay, so I'm going to take them out of the water now. Gather them up. Now, I 29 00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:19,520 don't want to get water like in the USB 30 00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:23,360 thing while I'm charging it. So, the Amazon Basics is going to be a 31 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:28,800 little rough, but the other one should be okay. Uh, we moved on to Dennis's 32 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,400 iPhone. Sorry, Dennis. We'll probably be fine. Let's start off with the Chiro. 33 00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:36,480 So, there's a little bit of moisture under the water seal for the Chiro, but 34 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:40,879 I don't see any moisture like in the USB ports or anything like that. So, we'll 35 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:45,840 see. Yeah, so that one works. Move on to the Unifund. A little bit of moisture, 36 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,959 but not much. And this could be from when I open it. Moisture kind of goes 37 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,239 in. Yeah, that one works. Jar of tank. 38 00:02:50,959 --> 00:02:58,000 This one doesn't have any moisture inside. That one works fine. Moving on 39 00:02:54,640 --> 00:03:01,840 to the foss power. That one works fine. 40 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,480 Amazon Basics. Let's see. Does it live 41 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:09,760 on? RIP Amazon Basics. It's dead. So, it 42 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:14,080 made it through the drop test, but the second it hit water, this guy was out. 43 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:17,519 We did see bubbles come from it right when we dunked it. So, Oh, yeah. 44 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:20,959 We're pretty sure that was done. And then there were four. Let's drop them 45 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:25,280 from higher up. Okay, so the next drop test is actually going to be rather simple. I'm just going to hold them up 46 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:30,360 and then drop them. This is about 7 and 1/2 ft. So, here we go. 47 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:42,799 The jar ran away a little bit. I'm not that surprised because there's this 48 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,959 really kind of intense rubber on the 49 00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:49,360 sides that probably makes it bounce a whole bunch. So, the jar almost ran into 50 00:03:47,519 --> 00:03:55,159 the water. It almost had an advanced test. 51 00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:55,159 Okay, starting with the FOS power. 52 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:02,560 Works fine. Now, the Unifund, it's it's 53 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:06,319 little cover thing actually came off when it dropped. I secured all the 54 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:10,360 covers before we dropped them. So, that's just something to note. 55 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:17,280 The unicorn is dead. So, it wasn't just the cover coming off. The UniFi actually 56 00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:20,959 isn't working anymore. If you look at it, I'm going to press the power button. 57 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:26,000 I'm repeatedly pressing the power button. The lights are not shining. I 58 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:30,639 tried in this USB port. And press the power button. The phone 59 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,479 doesn't react at all. So, yes, the unifund is out of the race. That's 60 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:38,800 actually earlier than I expected. So, RIP Unifund. So, if you look at the 61 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:43,040 unifund, there's a there's a chip on like quite a few of the corners. As you 62 00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:47,919 can see, it impacted very very hard with the ground. All of the remaining battery 63 00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:52,000 banks have at least some form of rubbery material on the outside. The Chiro, the 64 00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:56,320 Fos Power, and the Jarve all have a rubbery like it material that's going to 65 00:04:53,919 --> 00:05:00,400 take impacts. The Unifund does not. It does have that hard shell. So, yeah, I 66 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:05,360 think that might be what killed it. All right, Jarve is the next one. This one almost ran away on us and has the most 67 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:09,280 rubbery material around it. So, I'm assuming it's fine. 68 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:14,880 And it is completely fine. Immediately started working. And last, but hopefully 69 00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:19,120 not least, is the Churro. Well, I guess quite technically not 70 00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:23,919 least at this point, but anyways, trying the Churro. 71 00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:27,600 Churro works fine. We're down to three. All of them have proper rubbery shock 72 00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:31,440 absorption and all of them are water resistant. So, just observing some 73 00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:35,280 damage here on the FOS Power. You can see like a little bit of a bite in right 74 00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:39,360 there, but it doesn't really matter as that has nothing to do with the actual 75 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:42,800 durability or the water resistance of the unit as it's all kind of contained 76 00:05:41,039 --> 00:05:46,240 within here, which still seems still has some moisture from the last uh 77 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:50,160 submersion test, but seems completely fine in terms of integrity. So, that guy 78 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,759 seems to be doing okay. The Chiro did land on the button bit. I've kind of 79 00:05:51,919 --> 00:05:57,680 cleaned it off and it seems fine, but there's no visual damage. And other than 80 00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:02,160 that, it actually seems to be completely okay. I would be hardressed to say that 81 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:06,160 that this had been dropped at all if you just handed it to me randomly. The Jarve 82 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:10,720 on the other hand, once we popped it open, we did notice that there was some 83 00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:14,240 dents on that raised part on the inside, and I'm kind of wondering, you can see 84 00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:18,479 where it landed on the the rubbery part on the outside. I am wondering if that 85 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:22,960 is going to compromise its integrity. So, we're going into the water test. 86 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:26,240 Jarve, can you hold on? One important note about the Jarve tank is that its 87 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,800 seal can actually be a little bit tricky. So, when you're putting it in, 88 00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:32,720 you need to make sure that you've pressed down everywhere cuz it doesn't 89 00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:37,280 like to sit naturally on its own, including where the hinge is. So, you got to make sure you go all the way 90 00:06:35,039 --> 00:06:40,800 along the back. And then, you might be able to notice it's still a little bit 91 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:44,960 puffy. And that's because the seals on the inside haven't even gone in yet. So, 92 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:48,000 you need to push this area down as well and make sure that everything goes in. 93 00:06:46,479 --> 00:06:51,440 That's because when I take it off, you can see these plugs for the USB ports. 94 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,520 Those don't even naturally go in. So, you have to make sure that they go in as 95 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:58,800 well and seal everything else off or else you're going to lose like all of 96 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:04,000 your water resistance. So, our first water dunk test was at about 3 4 in. 97 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:07,199 Now, we're going to about like 3 and 3/4 to 4 ft. None of this is exact. We're 98 00:07:05,919 --> 00:07:13,080 not measuring any of it. We're basing it off of like my height, so don't worry too much about it. Here we go. 99 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:26,170 I'm sure that was sexy. Anyways, we now have our batteries. 100 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,080 I need to try them out. 101 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:33,440 The chiro has some moisture just like last time, but again, just like last 102 00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:39,880 time, not in the USB port. That's probably because it has the extension 103 00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:39,880 under the top. Plug it in. 104 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:48,720 No response immediately. Yep. No lights at all. 105 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:52,080 to your dad. That's unfortunate. Okay, 106 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:54,560 moving on to the FOS power. Popping its 107 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:59,720 top. A little bit of moisture just like last time, but not near the USB port. 108 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:13,280 I think that 4 and 1/2 ft for 5 minutes was the great bringer of death. Floss 109 00:08:10,479 --> 00:08:18,639 power is dead as well. Moving on to the jar of tank. It is the most expensive, 110 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:22,479 but it also might be the last one left. Oh, there's water under the seal. Even 111 00:08:20,479 --> 00:08:26,240 though I was very sure that I did it properly, although that might have been 112 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:30,000 because of the damage that happened when it was dropped from 7 1/2 ft. This one's 113 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:35,599 dead, too. That would be kind of what Oh, 114 00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:37,599 the jar tank survives. Instantly worked. 115 00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:40,959 Still shows full power. We're going to have a special remaining test for the 116 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:44,800 jar tank, but as far as I'm concerned, it wins. We're just going to see how 117 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:48,640 much it can take at this point. All right, it is our last remaining battery 118 00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:53,040 bank. I'm now going to throw it at that rock wall, let it hit the wall, fall 119 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,680 into the water, and then see if it survives after that. 120 00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:04,399 Okay, so it's a little bit unfortunate that a few of the other ones didn't survive because while the jar tank is 121 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:08,240 still alive, it's also really hard to see cuz it's all black. So, if you did 122 00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:12,399 happen to drop it somewhere, like underwater, and it was even the 123 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:15,720 slightest bit murky, it would be really hard to find. 124 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,600 Okay, so I found it. It didn't come that far off the wall, probably cuz it 125 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:27,440 glanced downwards afterwards. It's probably about 6 ft underwater. We're 126 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,720 going to leave it for 5 minutes. If it does survive this, we'll do some other 127 00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:34,720 tests after that. See if it survives those as well. But if it survives this, 128 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:39,279 I'll be pretty impressed because after the impact, it is very likely that that 129 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:43,200 water seal came off. So, we'll see how it does. Okay, so it's been about 5 130 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:48,120 minutes. I'm going to go grab it now. See if it survived. I kind of don't think so, but it did. 131 00:09:53,920 --> 00:10:01,120 The water seal's completely off. 132 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:05,279 So, uh that's probably rip jar. Oh my 133 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:07,600 god, the lights are still on. What? It 134 00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:10,480 might still work. So, it survived that craziness. Now, I'm going to try 135 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:14,640 smashing into the ground a few times. See if it survives that. If it still 136 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:21,920 lives, we'll try some more crazy water stuff. But here we go. 137 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:23,680 Lights are still on, 138 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:27,760 although they're like flashing. The second you plug the phone in, the light 139 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:32,720 stops flashing and it charges just fine. The drive tank is still alive. So, at 140 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:37,680 this point, the seal for the water is like completely non-functioning, and the 141 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:44,600 battery is slightly bent, but it's still working. I think we're getting into like 142 00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:44,600 a little bit dangerous category here. 143 00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:50,800 I think it's dead. I think it's finally dead. So, just surveying the damage 144 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:55,920 here. This corner where I threw it down on is pretty beat up. Like, it's 145 00:10:54,079 --> 00:11:00,880 actually lifted. If you look on the inside, I can like almost peel back this 146 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:05,200 corner of like the sticker that's on it or whatever. I don't think it's alive 147 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:09,040 anymore. I'm pretty sure it's definitely conquered at this point. But I dropped 148 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:13,360 it from 5 ft. I dropped it from 7 1/2 ft. It was underwater at about 3 in. It 149 00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:17,760 was underwater about 4 ft. It was underwater against a wall really hard 150 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:22,240 with its water seal coming off. And then at 6 ft for about 5 minutes and then I 151 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:25,040 smashed into the ground. It kept working even though it was bent. And then I 152 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:30,079 smashed it into the ground two more times to the point where it's like 153 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:32,000 cracking and it finally died. I think 154 00:11:30,079 --> 00:11:34,959 that's pretty solid in my opinion. So, it's a few days later and in a 155 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:38,800 completely different location, but I did want to cover a few things and I'm going 156 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:42,640 to cover them starting in order of which battery bank died. So, starting with the 157 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:46,320 Amazon basics, it didn't claim anything in its title in terms of durability and 158 00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:49,920 it's cheap and it's an Amazon basics product so it's probably just going to 159 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:53,440 work. That was its that was its selling point, not its durability. So, I'm not 160 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,560 surprised that it died almost immediately when it touched water, but I 161 00:11:55,279 --> 00:12:00,959 was pretty impressed that it survived the first drop. The next one to die was 162 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:06,480 the Unifund U821. This one totes in its title that it is 163 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:09,040 waterproof, which is not true. It has an 164 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:13,279 IP rating of IP66, which doesn't even mean that it's immersion rated. It means 165 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:18,560 that it is rated for at least three minutes of 100 lers per minute with a 166 00:12:15,839 --> 00:12:23,360 pressure of 100 kPa and a distance of 3 meters of like a water jet being shot at 167 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:27,040 it. Not immersive, just like a water gun. And it died from a drop that none 168 00:12:25,519 --> 00:12:31,360 of the other battery banks died from, which was a little bit disappointing cuz 169 00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:35,200 it wasn't really that bad, but oh my goodness is it cheap when it's on sale. 170 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:39,519 And it's basically always on sale. So there you go. Next up was a tie between 171 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:43,519 the Foss Power Active and the Chiro Tough. Starting with the Foss power, it 172 00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:49,040 claims that it is waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof in the title 173 00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:52,720 for the product. One of those is true, not two of them, and that is that it is 174 00:12:50,959 --> 00:12:58,240 dust proof, which is not very hard to do. Its water resistance rating is IP67, 175 00:12:55,519 --> 00:13:02,560 which is 3 ft or 1 m for half an hour. It died outside of this rating, being at 176 00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:05,760 slightly over 4T underwater. So, I guess it did pretty well in that regard, but 177 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:10,399 it did lie about its capabilities in the title. The Chiro advertised itself 178 00:13:08,079 --> 00:13:15,600 properly by saying in the title that it is waterresistant, shockresistant, and 179 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:20,480 dustproof, which is true. It is also IP66 rated, which is the same as the 180 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:25,440 Unifund, but did survive underwater for a little while and didn't die until we 181 00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:31,279 had it slightly over 4T underwater. So, props to Chiro. Then there's the Jarve 182 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:34,000 Tank, which also lied in its title. No, 183 00:13:31,279 --> 00:13:39,839 it is not waterproof, and no, it is not shockproof. It does have an IP rating of 184 00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:41,920 67 with the cap closed and 65 with the 185 00:13:39,839 --> 00:13:45,839 cap open, which is similar to the shooting water at it thing, but just not 186 00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:50,000 quite as aggressive. It took shocks like a boss with me smashing against a wall 187 00:13:48,079 --> 00:13:55,680 and then repeatedly smashing against the ground. And it managed saltwater even 188 00:13:53,120 --> 00:14:00,399 with very, very good levels well beyond its actual rating with the cap off over 189 00:13:58,079 --> 00:14:04,959 6 ft underwater and managing completely fine. Very impressive. Just disappointed 190 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:08,720 that it lied in its title. I'm going to personally stick with the Chiro tough. 191 00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:11,760 And yes, they were a sponsor of ours way in the past. I know some people are 192 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:15,760 going to point that out, but they were not a sponsor of this video at all. We 193 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,880 bought the Chiro Tough that we used in this video. And the reason why I'm 194 00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:23,600 choosing them is not because they were a sponsor, but because they were the only 195 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:28,240 ones that didn't lie in the Amazon product title for their item. And I 196 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:32,320 actually respect that a lot.
