Looks like it was meant to go with this "set" of ENTRY level tools:

if you are buying just for battery backup, you have much better options, this not a good deal at all.
3.6ah @ 5v is 36000 mah
Wait I'm wrong, yeah it's 3600. Shit.

Actually phone battery is measured at 3.7v not 5v, so it's more like 4800mAh
at this price I dont think 3600mah is worth it,
Compared to power banks, power tool batteries have thicker enclosures, larger circuit boards with room for heat dissipation for the protection transistors. The electrical connection tabs add substantially to the thickness too. Power banks that still use 18650 cells have 3.0Ah+ cells, versus the puny 1.5Ah in the GoPak, and most power banks nowadays use LiPo flat-pack cells that are even more power dense and space efficient. You can probably get a 15000+mAh power bank for the size of the GoPak (4" width and 1.25" height per B&D, which is humongous for the meager capacity, my old school 13400mAh 3x18650 power bank is 4 x 3 x 7/8")
This GoPak is quite unique among power tool battery packs in that it is designed with pocketability in mind, with recessed electrical terminals and a smooth body.

You would have to tear it down to know for sure possibly. Less powerful than I had hopped.
This isn't one of the better ones, at least depending on what's under the hood (cell quality) and how rugged the case is (that could potentially be a plus). Capacity wise, nope.

I only paid attention to this because I'm working on a compact solar charger and noticed how large a loss you got every time you made a large voltage change.
