minus-square@Wilzaxlink19•1 month agoYou shouldn’t charge a battery pack at the same time you’re discharging it unless it’s specifically designed to allow that. Most consumer power banks are not designed to do that. It’s doubly stupid to charge it from itself.
minus-square@Backfirelink4•1 month agoI once did that with a Samsung powerbank I have. Daisy chained the powerbank to charge itself and a phone in sequence. The only thing that failed afterwards was one of the cables, but suffering a loss was definitely the reason I didn’t attempt to do that again.
