HPR4243: Hand Warmer, long term product review
This show has been flagged as Explicit by the host.
Background
Ken suggested at Oggcamp to do a long term product review of my hand
warmer.
Product information
The model: OCOOPA 10,000 mAh capacity
Purchase date: December 2020
Cost: £25
Description: It has a single button used to turn it on and to
adjust the heat level.
It has three different USB sockets. These are used when either
charging the hand warmer or using it as a power bank to charge other
devices.
Links to product
Fast
charge model from Ocoopa. My model charges slower which might be gentler
on the battery. Actually the real reason I bought the slow charge model
was it was cheaper
Amazon
seem to sell the model I have and amazingly it’s still £25!
Story
During OggCamp I mentioned to Ken that I had an electric hand warmer
and he asked me if it was any good. He suggested I do a long term
product review of it. So here is my review
I do lots of dog walking and suffer from cold hands.
I've had different hand warmers over the years:
hours actually too long. They seems very wasteful as they are single
use.
goes out.
This electric hand warmer is by far the best solution I've found.
It saved me twice during OggCamp as I used it on two occasions to top
up my phone. When arriving and leaving OggCamp.
This was the first time I’d used the hand warmer to charge anything.
I was very glad it worked.
At the time of purchase I was rather sceptical about the whole idea
of electric hand warmers.
The batteries are not used in ideal conditions. They get very hot and
when in use a lot of current is drawn from them.
My Hand warmer is now almost 4 years old and is still going strong
with no noticeable degradation in capacity.
It has a rated capacity is 10,000 mAh. The highest charge it achieved
was about 1 year into use. It accepted 8034 mAh of charge. I haven’t
checked again since November 2021. However it still continues to last
many hours / multiple dog walks.
I always get a bit nervous over the summer months as it is left for a
number of months unused. Luckily living in Scotland I don’t need to wait
long until the weather gets cold. Did I mention before about the
horrible weather in Scotland?
How I look after the battery
Always wait for the battery to return to room temperature before
putting it on charge.
Don’t leave the hand warmer for more than a few days at 100%
charge.
Try not to completely flatten the battery. If you do flatten the
battery then charge it up soon afterwards.
If storing it for a number of months then try to store it at
approximately 50% charge.
