My advice on buying accessories Part VI: Today let us talk about Anker's new mobile power, gun rose.

The name of it is really cool, and it is also a product which focuses on appearance and fast-charge performances.

Unboxing

although the design of this product changes a lot, but the packaging is still the same as before.

unboxing

the front uses black plastic as material

the design in the back is its bright spot. With a whole area of red silicone, it is very pretty

the test of its maximum output capacity

Capacity 10000mAh

Output: 5V ~ 6V / 3A, 6 ~ 9V / 2A, 9 ~ 12V / 1.5A

Input: 5V / 2A, 9V / 2A

Then comes to the charging protocol test

the charging protocols supported by Guns Rose are as follows

Apple 5V / 2A, 2.4A mode

Samsung 5V / 2A mode

Basic BC1.2 mode

QC3.0 / QC2.0 mode

It is expected that Huawei FCP, SCP and DASH all not be supported

Since these are all proprietary protocols, there is no perfect power shown in the industry (except those for DIY)

VOOC and DASH is currently no mobile power available

Here let us to measure the maximum output single port

5V: The maximum output 5V / 3.1A, in line with the calibration

9V: The maximum output 9.07V / 2.1A, in line with the calibration

tricked to 9V output

Successfully identify of QC3.0

12V :The maximum output is 12.22V / 1.5A, in line with the calibration

Testing on IPhone device. The equipment for test is the iPhone7. Firstly, plug the charger in. current power data is: 5.25V / 1.61A Then plug the gun rose power in, successfully identify the apple mode. the data is 5.1V / 1.61A, little different from the charger, in line with expectations. give a curve of iPhone7 while it is fully charged, the total time is 2 hours and 5 minutes. Because the version of iOS10.3 subsequently limits the charging power, we cannot see the data of 10W. So the charging time is extended, I guess it is out of controlling fever

the test of Charging time and heat-emitting

Guns Rose’s input specification is 5V / 2A, 9V / 2A

Because of its capacity of 10000mAh, so we use QC2.0 or QC3.0 charger as much as possible every day to charge the power.

It is measured that 9V / 2A one will be faster than 5V / 2A about 2 hours

plug into QC3.0 charger

Because the power is still half the power, so it is not in its full speed. When it is 8.88V / 1.83A, charge back when it is empty, the 9V / 2A is fully achievable. I made a fully-charged curve, it took 3 hours and 53 minutes to be fully charged. Generally, the 10000mAh capacity is good. The whole process is very stable; during the first two hours it was stable at 9V / 2A or so, and gradually decline it was tiny in the end.

Look at the temperature performance

The front heat-emitting concentrate on IC, the hottest point is 39.1 ℃. the temperature in other positions is basically below 32 ℃. heat in the back is also in the same position, the maximum temperature is 39.9 ℃. the rest is below 32 ℃. The overall performance of the heat-emitting is good; of course, it is benefit from its plastic material, which has a better heat dissipation.

Although adding step-by-step, intelligent control up to QC3.0 to solve the overheating problem. However, the heat problem of the mobile power of the metal casing is still remaining troublesome.
