PowerPie 45watt

[j_hansen]

I got the 45W PD PPS PowerPie 20.000mAh powerbank from Elecjet today and have charged it fully before first test (it comes precharged to about 75% - - 3 out of the 4 led/dots) so topped it up as I want to also see if I can get a full 4 charges plus a bit from it.
I'm just waiting for the Note 10 plus to get down to 2-3% before plugging it in for the first time.
First impression is very good, it feels like very good quality and solid without being to heavy, it comes with a small pouch to protect against dust I guess for when travelling and also a short usb-c to usb-c cable which obviously is 5A capable.
I'll post the first results as soon as I can.
Picture isn't the best but I just snapped a quick one

If you get the chance, can you post a pic next to something as a reference? I'm curious how big/thick it is.

Will do

Edit - -
There's actually some good ones on their website with the Note 10 plus but I'll post a few as well that haven't been through the marketing blender
It is even 5 Euro cheaper there compared to what I paid on Amazon

Sorry Mustang but the idea with also posting in the S20 forum was that there is probably a good few people from there that don't look at the Note 10 forum.

Hello, I understand that but we can't have duplicate topic open across the forums ,you can can definitely leave your link to reference by with other members in s20 forum no issues with that .

Cheers man, I'll wait until I have 1st test done tomorrow before doing any more referencing to it.
I wanted to do it today but the Note 10 plus is actually harder to kill battery wise than you think
I consider myself a heavy enough user but I had to realise that I probably only would get it to 0 - 3% just before bedtime.

Yeah I agree the note 10+ is a battery beast , hard to kill it in 1 day , I'm also a heavy user

I'm always near a charger, wired or wireless so haven't actually tried to run it down deliberately before I got the 45W Samsung charger the other day and I just gave that a go when the phone hit 15%
The official Samsung charger has plenty reviews and we know all about it so I didn't really put much importance into trying it out.
If this powerbank is as good as I hope it is then it basically means charging both the Note and the buds+ 4 full times, so start out fully charged you could be away from a power socket for 5 days in theory

Got to try this thing out for the first time this morning.
I let the Note 10 plus drain until it turned itself off in a final death cramp of a vibration ;-)
Using the short usb-c to usb-c cable that came with the PowerPie I plugged it in.
I had already charged the PowerPie fully using the official Samsung 45 Watt charger.
Here is what I got at first attempt on my 5 months old Note 10 plus 5G from 0%
7 min - 14%
9 min - 22%
12 min - 30 %
20 min - 47%
30 min - 66% (I've seen claims of 69% but I find 66% perfectly acceptable)
40 min 83%
47 min 90%
1 hour - 96%
1.05 - 100%

Considering that this is a powerbank, not a wall charger I find it a VERY GOOD result.
The PowerPie is still showing 3 of the 4 LED's so it is so far so good with hoping to get 4 full charges plus a bit but I'll report back on that later.

Update:

I did the 2nd full charge of my Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G from 0% using the PowerPie and it was actually a minute or two quicker to both 90 and 100% today
but anything above 80% (42 minutes) is really irrelevant.
However, the positive taken from todays mini test is that during this 2nd charge cycle the led's on the PowerPie did drop from 3 to 2 but after charging the phone to a 100% there is still 2 led's lit up which should indicate that there is over 50% in *The Pie*
Tomorrow and the day after to go and I'll be able to confirm if a full 4 charges for the Note 10 plus 5G is possible but it is looking positive so far.

Another Update.

Day 3:

3rd full charge cycle just done and there is still 1 led left on, on *The Pie* indicating that there is a minimum of 25% 5000mAh left in it, so it will be interesting tomorrow to see if that translates into a 4th full charge cycle.
Interesting thing from todays mini test was that I instead of letting the Galaxy Note 10 Plus die on it's own, I instead switched it off at 1% (letting Galaxy phones die completely have caused issues for customers in the past)
This seems to have resulted in slightly faster charging as it went to 77% in 30-31 minutes and a full 100% in 96 minutes, which is a fair bit better than starting from completely dead.

Final day of this mini test of the *The Pie* with the Note 10 Plus 5G
I let the phone go down to 1% again and plugged it in, there was still 1 of the 4 LEDs lit up on the power bank so I was a little optimistic about maybe getting a full 4th charge out of it but it wasn't to be....
However...It stopped at bang on 60% so all in I think it is a very respectable result considering that this is a 45W fast charging powerbank.
3 full 4300mAh charges plus one at 60% (2580mAh) if you can calculate it that directly.

Is it worth the 58 Euro I paid for it... I most certainly think so

Thanks for the in depth testing.

Thanks for the in depth testing.

My pleasure
It was interesting to do and nice to be able to confirm that it is as good as claimed.
I have my eyes on a 73w pd charger for the car that I might do a *field test* on next, it claims 55w pps and 18w QC 3.0 at the same time
