MontAmmie Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 I charged the bank up and plugged it in to my half-drained 800. Nothing. No charging light flashing or anything. The 800 did turn on, but I don't think it was running off the battery bank. Oh well, I have a phone charger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, I thought 1 amp was going to be pushing it from a source current standpoint (that's why the manual recommends at least a 1.7A charger, I guess). But yeah, you should still have a good emergency phone charger and now we know which is good info to have.

If the lipstick power bank, however, was installed in place of the Equinox internal battery, then the 30 to 40% capacity estimate would likely be more accurate.

EL NINO77 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I tried to use my Equinox 2000mA powerbank with output 1A-- Off Equinox is charging ... "But on the Equinox turned on and also the charging it probably will not work .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
