Yet another of the single use chargers with a fully rechargeable cell inside. This one takes it one step further with a full power bank chip. It's literally just missing a resistor, capacitor, LED and charge connector to make it a fully rechargeable unit. But on a plus note it can be used as a cheap and easily available source of 500mAh metal cased lithium cells if suitable cell protection is used.

The only advantage is its slim size. If you really need a powerbank for a festival I'd strongly recommend a proper high capacity unit. If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- http://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty. ...more
