1) Fake powerbanks with fake batteries - they claim 10K and have only 3K mah batteries in them.
2) All other legitimate powerbanks are more or less equal because they have 10K batteries and only efficiency will differ. For these there is an Ohm law in place that describe the following.
In ideal conditions this is a 10000 mah powerbank at 3.7 volt discharge (5w usb cable to slow charge your watch or old iPhone). Thus you indeed might charge old iPhone rated at 2000 mah almost 4.5-5 times. (2000*4.5=9000 mah)
If you are using PD fast charge, then it happens at 18W as opposed to 5w above and 5v as opposed to 3.7v. Transforming 3.7v to 5v overall costs a power bank 20% loss of efficiency, so you right away looking at 8000 mah on a 10000 power bank.
5v/3.7v=1.35135x less mah.
So your 8000 mah with 20% conversion loss (10K total at 3.7v) now becomes only 5920 mah 5v powerbank (10000-2000(20% loss)/1.35135) power bank when using to charge laptop or latest iPhone.
Latest iPhone has 4K mah battery, and you are looking to charge it 1.5x time using the available 5920 mah with fast charge, when you expected to do it 2.5x times going off of 10k mah capacity.
You can always chance it though.
I've had a power bank stop working on me so I thought it just needed to be charged. When I plugged it in, it immediately began to smell of smoke and melting plastic. I happened to check the charge level on it when I plugged it in to make sure it was actually charging. If I hadn't stopped to check and just walked off, that bad boy would have popped off lol.
As someone that has had firefighters as friends, I will say that surge protectors CAN become a fire hazard when not used properly. Many people don't realize that they have a limited lifespan and still use 15 year old surge protectors. If you have sensitive equipment on a surge protector that is essentially an extension cord, it can increase the likelihood of a fire.
All of that being said, I've owned a ton of battery banks and countless rechargeable devices over the years and only had one cell phone battery swell on me and one battery bank that failed to the point of danger (and that was a Mophie branded battery so not just some unknown brand). I am more careful with checking on battery banks that I am charging since that incident but that is a tiny blip of an issue in thousands and thousands of charges and uses of these devices. Sometimes, things just happen. I'll never use an off brand surge protector for my high end electronics but it won't stop me from buying them just like I won't stop buying battery packs like these.
