Hi guys, just received my GENUINE Yoobao Long March 11200mAh power bank and confirmed genuine via all the methods shown on their website and everywhere in the net plus online validation also confirms it as genuine as well. Just happened to shine through the power bank with my flashlight and it seems that one of the batteries is missing from the device.
you can clearly see in this link that the power bank comes with 4 pieces of 18650 batteries connected in parallel but when i shine a flashlight through it, it looks like it's missing a cell.

Heres a video explaining it.
I also weighed the power bank and it weighed in at 200g on my kitchen scale instead of the advertised 253g.
Hope to get more input from other Yoobao 11200mAh power bank users as i heard some people are complaining that their units have reduced capacity compared to other's. Maybe this might be the reason.
my friend who own a power bank did the same test and he got a different result than me, plus his weighed in at 263g instead of my 200g.
posting this thread to collect more data especially from international users. Thanks!
To be honest I think your just best RMAing the thing. If you have reduced capacity and it looks to be missing a cell the first thing that needs doing is getting it back to the seller.

I purchased a universal car charger from Frys for $6.00 the week the phone came out and never really used it till today. While it was charging it felt really hot, I looked at the temperature and it went from 89F. to 129F. in less than five minutes. Has anybody else had any luck with a non Samsung car charger? I really don't want to pony up for the Tmobile one and prefer to buy one under $10 if possible. Or do you think the temperature is fine on the current one I have?
i got this one for like $5 a while back. works great.
Also, check out monoprice.com. you can essentially build one for cheap.
Inexpensive and Car Charger is never a good combo. I never understood why people would drop so much on a phone then cheap out on the charger. Cheap chargers don't last very long and can actually damage your battery.
+1 to what speoples said...although it was a while back, i once fried my phone's charging circuit using the cheap car charger. i never use them after what happened.
I got few of these when meritline have them on sale for 80 cents/each. Forgot how much voltage it put out when I measured it but it's good enough for a USB charger and stable.

Looking for one or two decent ones. Not planning to use a case all the time, although I did order a cheap TPU case off of ebay to use occasionally.
This one looks interesting. Like the combo of the metal look with the black. And I like that I can charge a spare battery. Anybody tried it?

Sorry. I had seen that thread awhile back, but didn't pop it up in search for some reason. I don't see this particular cradle in that thread, though.
Ya, that thread has fallen a few pages in, but figured it might help, lots of discussions of different docks in there. I posted in there about my experience with a dock from ebay seller nakedcellphone, which ends up being the same thing from oriongadgets in the androidcentral forum link I posted too. It's also a cradle with a spare battery charger, and I really like it. Has a nice support that holds the phone (no case) instead of some of the docks that don't have much more support than the micro usb connector alone, which I would worry about with that dock that you posted. Just got some cheap Chinese ebay batteries from tuttoit today that lots of folks have said good things about, so this will be my first time trying the spare battery charger, but all in all, I think it's a great dock.
Some days before, my SG 3 can not support whole day use as the playing game .
So I searched S3 external battery in amazon and find Plush cartoon toys power banks AD below. The price is 29.99$ a little expensive as its 5200mAh. The introduce is "it can be used a handbag Pendant with Li-Ion 5200mAh battery. ." There is no review in the product page, I am not sure it is really cool as the description .
amazon. com/dp /B00DJ3DZK2/ (avoild link, delet url space when past in IE)
Also I found a external battery case here :
amazon. com /External-Battery-Charger-Protector-BC161B/ dp/B00C95M3MW/
The battery capacity is only 2000mAh but can be used as a case protector for my SG

Which one I should bought or
do anyone find the similar high capacity like 10000mAh but cheaper one in ebay buy.com or amazon and other place?
I would go with an extended battery. Nothing extra to carry.
:victory: I wanna one, nice.
I cannot imagine that sticking a battery pack in a stuffed toy is going to do anything good for the battery.
A li-ion battery's lifespan is heavily dependant on its temperature. Higher temperature=loses capacity faster.
I'd be surprised if that battery lasted more than a year before it become basically useless due to capacity loss.
Hi Guys,
Did anyone of you bought a power bank that can charge your galaxy tab? I bought a Yoobao 15,600mAh Thunderbolt Power Bank YB665 power bank. From it's spec seems that it suppose to be able to charge my P7500 since it has output of up to 2A.
- Universal power pack: Suitable for mobile phones, iPhone, iPad, cameras, HTC, SAMSUNG, Blackberry, Nokia, PSP/NDSL, and MP3/MP4 players
- Input: 5V DC, 2,000mA
- Dual Outputs: 2,000mAh & 1000mAh
- Size:152*75*23 mm
- Net Weight:380g
- Gross Weight:545g
Well i'm quite disappointed since it doesn't works. For the time being i'm just modified the kernel a little bit so that I've USB charge enable but as we know that it only can charge up to 500mA. So it only can be charge during idle/screen off.

Is it working with your galaxy tab?
How do I charge a Power Bank?
I bought some power banks.But i don‘t know how to use them.
So my Gnex went black over a year ago, I tried all the guidance at the time with combinations of plugging and battery pulls. It just plain would not respond in any way to any stimuli. I got a new Nexus 5 and lived happily ever after until the discussion of Lollipop on Gnex resparked interest.
So, I gutted the Gnex, everything looks good, but that little tiny button cell battery on underside of mainboard screams guilty.
BUT the little bastard is SPOT WELDED in its holder 6 places. 3 on top, 3 on bottom. Really? Yeah.
I manage to carefully sheer the welds with a tiny flathead. It reads ML414H.should be 3VDC, It tested out at 2VDC. Enought to keep phone from booting? Charging?
Anyway, I'm over here in Norway, and lets say getting on of these tiny batteries would apparently requires some creative logistics. (They dont even have Radio Shack )
I need help tracking down one to see if its a legit fix.

This battery is simply a backup battery for the system clock. The problem is not with it.
