Writer Exposes '$9 Million' Power Bank Scam, Finds Only $10 Worth of Parts Inside
- Writer bought a $10 power bank claiming 9 million mAh capacity, an unrealistic claim that raised doubts
- Power bank arrived dead on arrival and attempts to charge it failed; it was completely unresponsive
- Upon opening the power bank, it had cheap no-name 18650 batteries with only 6,000 mAh total capacity
- Exaggerated capacity claims are used to dupe buyers into buying poor quality, potentially unsafe power banks
- Writer recommends spending a little more on a quality power bank like the $20 Baseus 10,000 mAh model
