So yesterday I bought the kopplen 30,000 MaH 22.5W fast charging power bank and I bought a power bank of off Amazon mind you it was random but after a day of using that it fried my iPhone 10 basically the screen started flickering green then shut off but the phone itself was still alive so what I’m trying to say is will this brand and this power bank in particular do the same thing or just break it?
So is kopeb a known brand?
*kopplen
Never heard of it tbh.
You know you can edit a comment
Anker or gtfo
Never have heard of that brand
Is 30,000mah and 22.5 W too much
30,000 MaH is the capacity of the battery. So it don't really matter much, that voltage tho...... I'm a bit worried
The iPhone shouldn’t take more than it needs though?
You mean the 0,75 volts?
Sorry I meant wattage
Mind you it can charge a Nintendo switch a bunch of Samsung phones too so maybe the voltage is good for all of that?
that’s a sure fire way to break your switch. the switch is particularly sensitive to what voltage and amperage it receives, since (iirc) it requests a certain voltage but then draws a different voltage
~1.1a at 20v (hopefully PD?) is a decent fast charging speed assuming it’s that much.
Even if it’s a lower voltage like 9v it’s still like 2.5a
I’d get worried if it says 5v output because that’s like 4.5v which is a decent amount of current if the iPhone doesn’t limit it.
Quick search says it caps out at the 20 watts for the iPhone 12
Only if the power bank supports specific PD charging protocols
(and don’t lie about it, which is why most people here says the brand matters)
Don’t lie about what and what is a specific PD
Power Delivery Charging Protocols
Third party China brands can tell you they support it but they don’t
They could just print whatever they want on the labels without actual consequences
If you have to ask, the answer is usually no.
Thats not true... Not everybody have knowledge in technical stuff
There is a usb-c side and a usb side will that make a difference and are there any other brands that would be better?
Anker is good. Xiaomi has been making great affordable power banks as well

I like chinese stuff. There are some real gems. But a have a strict rule: I buy chargers and power banks from well known, genuine brands only.
Cheap quality or shortcuts in production may lead to fried devices or your house to burn down.
Yes
There's no power bank that will fry your phone. Phones are built to take in a specific amount. You could plug it into a car battery if you had the right cables, and it would be fine.
Yes your phone will blow up and most likely burn down your home
How?
Just kidding man. It’s perfectly fine. Your phone will cut out at whatever charging wattage is is compatible with. So a 40w brick will cap out at 25w if the phone supports only 25w.
As for the screen flickering, it is probably a coincidence and sounds like it’s on its way out.iPhone X is quite old by now hardware wise.
Yea and it was a random power bank off of Amazon
I’ve used random power banks before (no brand names) the worst thing about them is that they break easily and are never the correct mah or charging speed they advertise to be.
Me and the misses used to carry around up to 5 everywhere we went and had even more at home. I’ve never had one break my phone in anyway before.
It’s just someone was saying that the MaH was fine but the were worried about the watts is 22.5 too much
Like I said, the phone will cap out at whatever watts it’s maxed at. Quick Google search said the X caps out at 18.5. It’s fine.
What makes it random? What would make it non-random?
But I think kopplen is pretty well known but some people say they have never heard of it
Also the iPhone X models use hard Oleds which break way more easily, so it was probably just a coincidence.
if you dont want your house to burn down then throw it away

Buying an unknown brand off Amazon with that much power and MaH is not a good idea ngl. Better stick with very known brands
