WEBVTT 00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:15.920 The Fenix Auto is a full-size minimal design keyboard complete with goldplated 00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:19.039 Cherry MX Brown switches. Click the link in the video description to learn more. 00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:23.760 So, for today's video, we're going to be doing a durable battery bank death 00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:26.960 match. So, we've got the Unifund U821, an Amazon Basics, which is just going to 00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:33.120 be our control group because that's not actually a durable battery bank. a chiro 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:35.280 tough, a pos power active, and a jar of 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 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:42.000 underwater at a certain height, and then increase the height and or depth, 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 00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:49.520 one survivor, or possibly more than one because I don't know how deep and how 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 00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:54.360 begin. 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 00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:11.520 going that deep. The Amazon Basics is probably going to die. The rest of them 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 00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:18.360 all the seals are fairly tight before I put them in. 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:25.560 The jar of seal is a little bit more finicky than some of the other ones. 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 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 00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:41.119 going to leave these underwater for half an hour because honestly, if you drop it 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 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 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:53.600 to make this like a 6 day battery bank death match. So, leave it under the 00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:56.399 water for like 5 minutes at a time and then it's probably fine. Also, because 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 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 00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:09.920 bit longer, like five something minutes, and not just a dunk, then it's a higher 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 00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:19.520 don't want to get water like in the USB 00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:23.360 thing while I'm charging it. So, the Amazon Basics is going to be a 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:28.800 little rough, but the other one should be okay. Uh, we moved on to Dennis's 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:32.400 iPhone. Sorry, Dennis. We'll probably be fine. Let's start off with the Chiro. 00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:36.480 So, there's a little bit of moisture under the water seal for the Chiro, but 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 00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:45.840 see. Yeah, so that one works. Move on to the Unifund. A little bit of moisture, 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:50.959 but not much. And this could be from when I open it. Moisture kind of goes 00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:52.239 in. Yeah, that one works. Jar of tank. 00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:58.000 This one doesn't have any moisture inside. That one works fine. Moving on 00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:01.840 to the foss power. That one works fine. 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:04.480 Amazon Basics. Let's see. Does it live 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:09.760 on? RIP Amazon Basics. It's dead. So, it 00:03:07.760 --> 00:03:14.080 made it through the drop test, but the second it hit water, this guy was out. 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:17.519 We did see bubbles come from it right when we dunked it. So, Oh, yeah. 00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:20.959 We're pretty sure that was done. And then there were four. Let's drop them 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 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:30.360 and then drop them. This is about 7 and 1/2 ft. So, here we go. 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:42.799 The jar ran away a little bit. I'm not that surprised because there's this 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:44.959 really kind of intense rubber on the 00:03:42.799 --> 00:03:49.360 sides that probably makes it bounce a whole bunch. So, the jar almost ran into 00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:55.159 the water. It almost had an advanced test. 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:55.159 Okay, starting with the FOS power. 00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:02.560 Works fine. Now, the Unifund, it's it's 00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:06.319 little cover thing actually came off when it dropped. I secured all the 00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:10.360 covers before we dropped them. So, that's just something to note. 00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:17.280 The unicorn is dead. So, it wasn't just the cover coming off. The UniFi actually 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. 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:26.000 I'm repeatedly pressing the power button. The lights are not shining. I 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:30.639 tried in this USB port. And press the power button. The phone 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:34.479 doesn't react at all. So, yes, the unifund is out of the race. That's 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:38.800 actually earlier than I expected. So, RIP Unifund. So, if you look at the 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 00:04:40.479 --> 00:04:47.919 can see, it impacted very very hard with the ground. All of the remaining battery 00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:52.000 banks have at least some form of rubbery material on the outside. The Chiro, the 00:04:49.919 --> 00:04:56.320 Fos Power, and the Jarve all have a rubbery like it material that's going to 00:04:53.919 --> 00:05:00.400 take impacts. The Unifund does not. It does have that hard shell. So, yeah, I 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 00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:09.280 rubbery material around it. So, I'm assuming it's fine. 00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:14.880 And it is completely fine. Immediately started working. And last, but hopefully 00:05:11.919 --> 00:05:19.120 not least, is the Churro. Well, I guess quite technically not 00:05:16.479 --> 00:05:23.919 least at this point, but anyways, trying the Churro. 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:27.600 Churro works fine. We're down to three. All of them have proper rubbery shock 00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:31.440 absorption and all of them are water resistant. So, just observing some 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 00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:39.360 there, but it doesn't really matter as that has nothing to do with the actual 00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:42.800 durability or the water resistance of the unit as it's all kind of contained 00:05:41.039 --> 00:05:46.240 within here, which still seems still has some moisture from the last uh 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:50.160 submersion test, but seems completely fine in terms of integrity. So, that guy 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 00:05:51.919 --> 00:05:57.680 cleaned it off and it seems fine, but there's no visual damage. And other than 00:05:55.840 --> 00:06:02.160 that, it actually seems to be completely okay. I would be hardressed to say that 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 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:10.720 on the other hand, once we popped it open, we did notice that there was some 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 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:18.479 where it landed on the the rubbery part on the outside. I am wondering if that 00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:22.960 is going to compromise its integrity. So, we're going into the water test. 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:26.240 Jarve, can you hold on? One important note about the Jarve tank is that its 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:28.800 seal can actually be a little bit tricky. So, when you're putting it in, 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:32.720 you need to make sure that you've pressed down everywhere cuz it doesn't 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 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 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, 00:06:42.400 --> 00:06:48.000 you need to push this area down as well and make sure that everything goes in. 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. 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 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:58.800 well and seal everything else off or else you're going to lose like all of 00:06:56.880 --> 00:07:04.000 your water resistance. So, our first water dunk test was at about 3 4 in. 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 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. 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:26.170 I'm sure that was sexy. Anyways, we now have our batteries. 00:07:24.080 --> 00:07:28.080 I need to try them out. 00:07:28.080 --> 00:07:33.440 The chiro has some moisture just like last time, but again, just like last 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:39.880 time, not in the USB port. That's probably because it has the extension 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:39.880 under the top. Plug it in. 00:07:41.280 --> 00:07:48.720 No response immediately. Yep. No lights at all. 00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:52.080 to your dad. That's unfortunate. Okay, 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:54.560 moving on to the FOS power. Popping its 00:07:52.080 --> 00:07:59.720 top. A little bit of moisture just like last time, but not near the USB port. 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 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, 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 00:08:20.479 --> 00:08:26.240 though I was very sure that I did it properly, although that might have been 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 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:35.599 dead, too. That would be kind of what Oh, 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:37.599 the jar tank survives. Instantly worked. 00:08:35.599 --> 00:08:40.959 Still shows full power. We're going to have a special remaining test for the 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 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:48.640 much it can take at this point. All right, it is our last remaining battery 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 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:56.680 into the water, and then see if it survives after that. 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 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 00:09:06.560 --> 00:09:12.399 happen to drop it somewhere, like underwater, and it was even the 00:09:09.920 --> 00:09:15.720 slightest bit murky, it would be really hard to find. 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 00:09:21.760 --> 00:09:27.440 glanced downwards afterwards. It's probably about 6 ft underwater. We're 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 00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:34.720 tests after that. See if it survives those as well. But if it survives this, 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:39.279 I'll be pretty impressed because after the impact, it is very likely that that 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 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. 00:09:53.920 --> 00:10:01.120 The water seal's completely off. 00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:05.279 So, uh that's probably rip jar. Oh my 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:07.600 god, the lights are still on. What? It 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:10.480 might still work. So, it survived that craziness. Now, I'm going to try 00:10:09.040 --> 00:10:14.640 smashing into the ground a few times. See if it survives that. If it still 00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:21.920 lives, we'll try some more crazy water stuff. But here we go. 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:23.680 Lights are still on, 00:10:21.920 --> 00:10:27.760 although they're like flashing. The second you plug the phone in, the light 00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:32.720 stops flashing and it charges just fine. The drive tank is still alive. So, at 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:37.680 this point, the seal for the water is like completely non-functioning, and the 00:10:34.880 --> 00:10:44.600 battery is slightly bent, but it's still working. I think we're getting into like 00:10:39.680 --> 00:10:44.600 a little bit dangerous category here. 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:50.800 I think it's dead. I think it's finally dead. So, just surveying the damage 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:55.920 here. This corner where I threw it down on is pretty beat up. Like, it's 00:10:54.079 --> 00:11:00.880 actually lifted. If you look on the inside, I can like almost peel back this 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 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:09.040 anymore. I'm pretty sure it's definitely conquered at this point. But I dropped 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 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:17.760 was underwater about 4 ft. It was underwater against a wall really hard 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 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:25.040 smashed into the ground. It kept working even though it was bent. And then I 00:11:23.760 --> 00:11:30.079 smashed it into the ground two more times to the point where it's like 00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:32.000 cracking and it finally died. I think 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 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:38.800 completely different location, but I did want to cover a few things and I'm going 00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:42.640 to cover them starting in order of which battery bank died. So, starting with the 00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:46.320 Amazon basics, it didn't claim anything in its title in terms of durability and 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 00:11:47.760 --> 00:11:53.440 work. That was its that was its selling point, not its durability. So, I'm not 00:11:51.760 --> 00:11:56.560 surprised that it died almost immediately when it touched water, but I 00:11:55.279 --> 00:12:00.959 was pretty impressed that it survived the first drop. The next one to die was 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:06.480 the Unifund U821. This one totes in its title that it is 00:12:03.040 --> 00:12:09.040 waterproof, which is not true. It has an 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:13.279 IP rating of IP66, which doesn't even mean that it's immersion rated. It means 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:18.560 that it is rated for at least three minutes of 100 lers per minute with a 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 00:12:21.040 --> 00:12:27.040 it. Not immersive, just like a water gun. And it died from a drop that none 00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:31.360 of the other battery banks died from, which was a little bit disappointing cuz 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. 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 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:43.519 the Foss Power Active and the Chiro Tough. Starting with the Foss power, it 00:12:41.680 --> 00:12:49.040 claims that it is waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof in the title 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 00:12:50.959 --> 00:12:58.240 dust proof, which is not very hard to do. Its water resistance rating is IP67, 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 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:05.760 slightly over 4T underwater. So, I guess it did pretty well in that regard, but 00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:10.399 it did lie about its capabilities in the title. The Chiro advertised itself 00:13:08.079 --> 00:13:15.600 properly by saying in the title that it is waterresistant, shockresistant, and 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:20.480 dustproof, which is true. It is also IP66 rated, which is the same as the 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:25.440 Unifund, but did survive underwater for a little while and didn't die until we 00:13:22.560 --> 00:13:31.279 had it slightly over 4T underwater. So, props to Chiro. Then there's the Jarve 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:34.000 Tank, which also lied in its title. No, 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 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:41.920 67 with the cap closed and 65 with the 00:13:39.839 --> 00:13:45.839 cap open, which is similar to the shooting water at it thing, but just not 00:13:43.680 --> 00:13:50.000 quite as aggressive. It took shocks like a boss with me smashing against a wall 00:13:48.079 --> 00:13:55.680 and then repeatedly smashing against the ground. And it managed saltwater even 00:13:53.120 --> 00:14:00.399 with very, very good levels well beyond its actual rating with the cap off over 00:13:58.079 --> 00:14:04.959 6 ft underwater and managing completely fine. Very impressive. Just disappointed 00:14:03.040 --> 00:14:08.720 that it lied in its title. I'm going to personally stick with the Chiro tough. 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 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 00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:18.880 bought the Chiro Tough that we used in this video. And the reason why I'm 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:23.600 choosing them is not because they were a sponsor, but because they were the only 00:14:20.800 --> 00:14:28.240 ones that didn't lie in the Amazon product title for their item. And I 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:32.320 actually respect that a lot.
