Dell PW7018LC Notebook Power Bank Plus, USB C, 65Wh

UPDATE: I figured it out and it works as expected. ————- Rubbish. No way to charge it; no explanation in the instructions as to how to use it. Just utter utter rubbish. That’s two DELL power banks I’ve tried and failed with now. Can’t believe they get away with selling something that it’s unintuitive and simply will not work without some other piece of kit. No explanation of this / it is not made clear. Why don’t DELL explain better as part of the product description; how to use this / charge it etc? It’s as good as a brick. Returning.

was faulty. Was supposed to return it then the deadline to return passed as I was away

its sucks!!! broke down within a week and after one time use it just cant be charged anymore

The power pack does what is needed, extending the life of your laptop when mains power is not available. As a plus will also change other items thanks to the USB outlets.

Not sure why the previous reviewer gave it 5 stars when he says it sucks. I believe I have been shipped the product he returned. It does not come with a power adapter and the three USB chargers I have tried will not charge it.

This is the biggest ‘portable’ battery I have come across to date however BE WARNED - it is primarily designed to supplement the new generation of Dell laptops that use USB-C charging and as such does *NOT* come with a charger! The idea being you use your Dell (or other compatible) USB-C laptop charger for both. E.g. you could use the Dell E5 65W Type-C AC Adapter (UK). These are available separately (probably Dell Part# : 450-AGOL). The battery on its own has Dell Part# : 451-BCDV. You can also buy both in a kit (i.e. battery and charger) - look for Dell Part# : 451-BCGC. Standard USB chargers (e.g. for mobile phones) will *not* have enough juice to charge this. It has a captive cable where I would have preferred a separate one (so if it gets damaged, it’s game over) and it’s a shame you cannot use the USB-C port to charge devices, unfortunately this is only for charging itself (i.e. input only). The conventional USB Type A port can be used for charging other devices e.g. your phone and is rated at 10W, although it can also act as a pass-through connector between your laptop (i.e. whilst charging a laptop you could plug in a USB flash drive and the laptop will see it). Shame there aren’t more ports. It’s quite weighty at almost half a kilo.

I just can't charge it

Powerbank wurde für ein XPS 13 7390 2-in-1 gekauft und erfüllt seine Funktion sehr gut. Die Powerbank selbst enthält kein Netzteil und muss mit einem USB-C Netzteil aufgeladen werden (z.B. das bei einem Dell Laptop mitgelieferte). - lädt mein Laptop schnell auf - reicht für eine komplette Ladung bzw. sogar etwas mehr - Qualität/Verarbeitung ist sehr gut - etwas schwer, bei dieser Kapazität allerdings wahrscheinlich normal

Laddaren fungerade inte trots biosuppdateringen som det stod man skulle göra. Kontaktade Dell support och får den utbytt.

Batterie totalement HS (ne se recharge plus) au bout de 2 ans ....

E' perfetto e funziona perfettamente. Ricarica il mio dell latitude 5420 con batteria da 63wh in 2 ore dal 20%, che dire perfetto. Il mio portatile mi permette un uso continuativo attorno alle 8 ore vere di lavoro (se lo uso meno anche 11 ore), oltre uso il power bank e dovunque sia non ho bisogno della corrente. RICARICA: Geniale. La sera, quando andate a letto collegate il caricatore usb c del notebook al power bank e questo al pc, così vi si ricaricherà il pc e il power bank e la mattina avrete tutto pronto. CI vorrà qualche ora di più ma tanto voi sarete a letto. Insomma consigliato per chi studia fuori casa o viaggia. Mi vengono in mente convegni ecc. Vi potrete dimenticare lo sbatti di trovare la presa.

Je n'arrive pas à avoir du support technique pour cette batterie qi se décharge immédiatement après avoir ete chargé...bizarre
