Worked as a battery backup for my security camera and charged my Surface Go

I purchased this power bank to use it in an application different from most people. I wasn’t looking for a battery to charge my devices. Instead, I was looking for a way to keep my security cameras powered in case of a power failure. To do this, I needed a power bank that plugged into the wall to remain charged while simultaneously being able to deliver power to my camera. Many power banks cannot simultaneously be charged while outputting power to other devices. General Review: - Has a battery percentage display to know how much power remains - Can be charged while simultaneously charging other devices - Can be charged by plugging it into a wall outlet or through USB C (cable and plug not included). The built-in wall outlet is for North American outlets. However, the specifications indicate the input is 100-240VAC, 50/60 Hz which means it can be charged anywhere in the world without getting damaged if you have an adapter to convert the plug. This means this would work well for travel. - Comes with a travel pouch - When plugged into a standard 2-plug outlet, it does not block the use of the second outlet - Includes a 4” long built-in USB C & Micro USB cable and a 4” long built in Lightning cable to charge most devices. These built-in cables are only useful if you remove the battery from the outlet and do not intend to use the device while it charges as they are too short. - The built in USB C, Micro USB, and Lightning cables can output 5V @ 2.4A. I tested and confirmed that this charges a standard Android phone and an iPad. This however is insufficient to charge a larger tablet such as a Microsoft Surface Go. In fact, most power banks are not capable of charging devices like the Surface Go. - In addition to the built-in cables, it has output ports to connect a USB-A or USB-C cable to charge your devices. These output 5V at 3A. I tested the USB-C output and found it was able to charge a Microsoft Surface Go. I charged a Surface Go 2 from 71% to 100% when the battery was disconnected from power. This in turn dropped the Veger battery from 100% to 71%. - In terms of electrical safety certification, it displays marks for CE (conformity for use in Europe), FCC (electromagnetic radiation conformity in the USA), and PSE (electrical and EMI safety in Japan). However, it is important to note that CE, FCC, and PSE follow a self-declaration procedure which allows a manufacturer to claim that it meets requirements without the need to be tested by an independent test laboratory such as CSA, UL, TUV, or ETL (which would provide more assurance in terms of safety as you are not relying on the manufacturer to be telling the truth). Performance as a Battery Backup for a security Camera: For my test, I connected a Wyze Cam V3 camera to the USB-A port of the Veger battery. With the battery plugged into my 120V wall outlet, I waited until the battery was at 100% and then disconnected it from power and observed the battery level drop over time. I found the following: - When I disconnected the battery, the camera reset. It took 1.5 minutes for the camera to record again. This means the power output of the battery drops momentarily when disconnected from power. This device would be better if it could maintain the output power when disconnected. - When reconnecting the battery, it caused a short 2 second disturbance in the recording (missed footage) but did not reset the camera. - After 12 hours disconnected with only the Wyze Cam V3 connected, battery power was at 59%. After 24 hours it was at 17%. - Based on the data retrieved, I determined that with the Wyze Cam connected, power drops linearly according to the formula: Battery Power % = 100.36 – 3.4575 x Time (h) Where Battery Power is in percentage and Time is in hours. For example, to determine the battery power after 4 hours, it would be 100.36 – 3.4575 x 4 = 86.53%. - Using this equation, if you solve for Time and a battery power of 0%, I can determine that the battery will last approximately 29 hours before the camera shuts off. That is a pretty good backup time. Summary: Overall, this product works as a battery backup for my security camera and as a charger for my devices. It would be better if the power output did not drop temporarily when disconnected in order to keep my camera powered continuously, but it wasn’t designed for this purpose so I can’t complain. As a device charger, one big plus is it was capable of charging my Microsoft Surface Go products. Most power banks are not capable of doing this. It’s not a fast charger, but it worked. The built-in power cords are short, but helpful in a pinch if you forget to bring your longer cables. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

Surprisingly usable

I was originally looking for a replacement for a compact combination wall charger and battery pack, mainly as a wall charger but as a charger for extended time away from home (e.g. long work schedule, travel). I don't want to carry both a wall charger and battery around, so I absolutely wanted a combo, and it has to be compact for my commutes and for travel. The VEEGER V1115 is not small, but I couldn't find anything like what I wanted. However, the VEEGER looked (and is) a relatively thin device (compared to others that I looked at, twice the thickness of my phone, same as my phone with armour), so even though it is much larger than my previous device it actually packs better. I also was not interested in the built-in cabling, thought they were a gimmick, and generally use a longer cable (I need the reach), but it wasn't long before I started just plugging into the VEEGER with the built-in cable just because I could. Human nature, go figure. I still use my long cables most of the time, but the built-ins have proven to be useful. For my Samsung S23, based on extrapolation (never believe an extrapolation!) of recharging my phone from 70%, there's roughly two full charges in this battery pack. The charge display actually updates to 1% resolution (I was expecting increments of 100, 90, 80... 10, but it actually does display 100, 99, 98,...). And when not plugged in and not charging something else, it holds its charge well (stayed at last reading for at LEAST a working day). One minor complaint is that this unit was clearly designed to be plugged into the outlet with the plug at the bottom (the LED display is oriented that way), but that is too unstable and prone to falling out of the socket, so I end up "hanging" it out of the socket and reading the LED charge display upside-down (which can be confusing for certain combinations of digits - 96 vs 69, 18 vs 81 etc). Minor, by no means should that stop anyone from buying this. Also be aware that there's no strain relief on the build-in cables, so to disconnect, pull on the connector. Caveat: I've only been using this for two weeks. I have no idea how it will perform in 6 months, a year, 5 years (my last charger/battery combo - different brand - lasted 20 years of continuous use, until the housing cracked open and some internal components got yanked off... bummer). 5 month update: I wrote the above in May, 2024. After using it off-and-on (i.e. not every day), I've got one thing to add today (17 Oct, 2024). A couple of times I've left it unplugged and unused for a month, and when I checked it it was still at 100% and it still dropped 1% for every 2% of my phone charge like it was just fully charged (i.e. no change in performance). It's still packing very nicely. I'm still liking the built-in cables. I still haven't overstrained the connector. I'm really liking this unit.

The feature set on this thing is brilliant and makes it a clear winner over standard battery bricks. Design: The Built-in Cable Advantage The main selling point is the integrated cables (Lightning, USB-C, and Micro USB—if applicable to your model). I absolutely love not having to remember to pack separate cords. This keeps my bag neat and ensures I always have the right cable for whatever device my friend or I need to charge. It genuinely is the most convenient portable charger I've ever owned. Performance and Capacity It holds a massive amount of power and brings my phone back to 100% surprisingly fast. One of my favorite qualities is that the charger can easily be plugged into the wall outlet to recharge. Super convenient! User-Friendly Features The clear digital LED display is another major plus.

Long Lasting & Reliable

This is my 3rd Verger charger and it is the best in my opinion. We tried two other brands and Verger wins out for several reasons. I love that the charger is all inclusive with its own flip down plug and charging cables. It fits snuggly between my tablet and Magic Keyboard space on my iPad. I can discreetly charge it without having a battery pack dangling from my iPad which also means no tension on my charging port. The battery pack holds a charge for a loooong time so we put one in our go-bag as a charged power bank. The battery pack charges quickly and can handle charging my tablet phone and watch all at the same time and still have power left in the bank. Perfect for travel too as it can charge itself on the plane and reduces the amount of cords that I have to travel with. Nearly the same size as my iPhone 12 Pro Max and is only a little heavier. The quality is excellent. I had my first two for over 2 years and had not problems whatsoever. One of them did end up going on the fritz but that was not bad considering it was used nearly every day of those two years. The other was still going strong but I accidentally left it at an Airbnb that was oh so far away. The price point is great. I ordered my 3rd one and will be ordering 1 every month or so until our go-bags each have one for every member of the family.
