(Last Updated On: October 3, 2020)

Power banks that have very large power capacities also tend to have multiple charging ports and even though these kinds of portable chargers are quite large; they’re very helpful for providing multiple charges.

With that said, as alluring as multiple charging ports are, what matters is what those charging ports are capable of.

This is because if a power bank has 3 charging ports and each of those 3 ports can only offer 5V/1.0A charging speeds, then that’s bad.

What’s needed is a high charging speed for the individual charging ports and a high enough Max Output.

At Charger Harbor, we’ve reviewed quite a lot of high capacity power banks that have many charging ports and the ones that provide the most value are the ones with not only lots of power but also speed.

This CanBor 22,000mAh power bank has a pretty good capacity but let’s see what it has to offer when it boasts 3 charging ports.

Power Capacity:

The starting power capacity of the CanBor power bank is 22,000mAh but just like all power banks, when charging is happening there’s a conversion of power from the power bank to the device that you’re charging.

The inefficiencies during charging happen in the batteries of the power bank and through the charging cable. With that said, the more devices that you charge at the same time, then there’s more likely to be more inefficiencies, as a result, more power is going to be lost.

How Much you’ll be Receiving

With that said, this CanBor power bank has an average conversion rating of about 70% and that’s going to result in you having 15,000mAh of power capacity that you can use.

Even though there’s about 7,000mAh of power capacity missing, the 15,000mAh of power that’s remaining is still a lot of power.

Power Capacity for Smartphones

This is because you can use it to charge smartphones that have very large battery capacities multiple times. Examples of smartphones with large batteries are:

iPhone 6s Plus – 2,915mAh power capacity

Galaxy S7 – 3,000mAh Power Capacity

Galaxy Note 5 – 3,000mAh Power Capacity

iPhone 7 Plus – 2,900mAh Power Capacity

All of those smartphones are some of the most used on the market, and you’ll be able to charge all of them about 5 full times to their full power, with the CanBor power bank.

Also, if you have a smartphone that has a lower battery capacity, which is very likely, then you’re going to be able to get a lot more full charges.

Power Capacity for Tablets

Of course, one of the main reasons that some people purchase this power bank is for charging their larger devices like tablets. For Mini tablets like the iPad Mini 2 or 4, you’ll be able to get 2 full charges.

If you’re wanting to charge a Galaxy Tab with most of them having a power capacity of 4,000mAh, then you can charge one about 3 times to its full power.

Charging a Full-Sized 12-Inch iPad can also be done because you can charge it to its full power; there will also be more power capacity even after its full charge.

Output Charging:

The main thing is to not be misled by the many charging ports that a power bank has, and thankfully, CanBor did a pretty good job with the charging side of this power bank.

Max Output and USB Port Speeds

This is because each of the 3 charging ports can Output 5V/2.1A charging speed and the Max Output of the power bank is 4.2A.

So you can use the full power of two charging ports at the same time. If you’re charging 3 devices at the same time, with the Max Output of 4.2A being used, then each charging port will be able to Output 1.4A.

The charging speed of 2.1A is quite good and most devices are going to be able to charge at their max charging speed, however, this power bank does not feature Quick Charge tech and so the devices that are compatible with Quick Charge aren’t to be able to charge at their max charging speed.

The CanBor power bank does a good enough job at providing a charging speed that’s going to provide a noticeable result. If you want the best charging speed, then it’s best to charge 2 devices at once if they require fast charging speeds.

Input Charging:

The CanBor power bank can recharge at a possible max charging speed of 5V/3.0A and this is quite uncommon but VERY useful among power banks that have high power capacities.

With that said, if you want to charge this CanBor power bank at its max charging speed, then you’re going to need a Quick Charge wall charger and that’s going to result in a recharge time of 7-8 hours.

If you’re using a 2 Amp wall charger then that’s going to result in a recharge time of 9-10 hours.

Size and Weight:

With its high power capacity, comes the size and weight to match. It might be larger than most power banks that you know of but it’s manageable to hold, but the main issue is that it’s quite heavy.

 

It has a length of 6.4 inches, a width of 3.1 inches, and a thickness of 0.7 inches. It weighs 1 pound. So it can fit into a single hand, but if you’re planning is to walk around with the power bank in hand, then that can be uncomfortable for a long duration.

Functional Components:

On the short side of the power, the bank is where there’s the 3 USB Output charging ports and the Micro-USB Input port. On the long side is where there’s a power button. On top is 4 Blue LED power capacity indicators.

The Canbor power bank has quite an unusual shape in comparison to power banks that have a more symmetrical, but the curvy design does hold a certain aesthetic that makes it cool to look at.

Charging automatically starts when you connect a device into any of the 3 charging ports, and that leaves the power button most as a way to check the power capacity.

Structure and Material:

The entirety of the power bank is made of plastic, but it’s still built solidly. A part of the power bank has a rough side and that makes it easy to hold and it’s resistant to scratches. Although, we don’t understand the point of making a specific point on the power bank scratch resistance.

Tech:

It makes use of the necessary safety tech feature with the ability to automatically shut itself off when/if anything goes wrong. Also have the CE, FCC, and RoHS certifications.

Reliability

If you’re searching for a power bank that has a high power capacity and can also charge multiple devices at the same time, this CanBor portable charger may be just what you need.

The size can be troublesome along with the heavyweight, but other power banks with just as much power capacity are going to be just as large.

Summary:

Power:

The Output power capacity is going to give you lots of full charges for plenty of devices. This goes for small devices like smartphones and also larger devices with bigger batteries like tablets.

Along with the 3 charging ports comes a good charging speed of 2.1A for individual ports and a Max Output of 4.2A.

Design:

It’s quite large but what makes it difficult to carry is the 1 pound weight.

Build:

It has a good build regardless if it’s made of plastic.

Reliability:

This power bank has a power capacity that’s going to last long and charging speed that is going to provide results.
