Regarding the Semsons Pocket Power Bank--I received one of these about a
week ago. It is quite attractive on paper and seems solid and well built.
But I have had some problems with it. 1) The instructions (manual)
indicates that when charging, the green light should come on to indicate
that charging is complete. This does not happen. 2) after an overnight
charge, I measure 5.8 volts output. This seems OK, but it has not powered
my MZ-RH1, which runs only on the internal pattery when connected to the
PowerBank. If I remove the internal battery, the RH1 will not turn on when
connected via a standard USB cable. 3) After sitting unused for 2-3 days
the red light comes on indicating (per the manual) that the batterys are
discharged. Perhaps my copy is bad? I intend to attempt contacting
customer service and will post results of that here.
Has anyone on this list had satisfactory hands on experience with this?
