      What’s stupid is buying cheap AliExpress power banks that don’t mitigate this situation safely, and instead simply explode, burning your house down…

        They are cheap and if you don’t need an expensive product, they are mostly fine, but I got a free powerbank with some crappy teen magazine (when in still ocasionaly read those ad filled pieces of shit) and it died on the second charge.

      Assuming it was either 15 years ago or your powerbank is a budget one.

      My powerbank would just flip me off and tell me to go fuck myself if I did plug it into itself.

          And it was probably cheap Anker instead of expensive Anker? Maybe that shit just hadn’t hit consumer products yet as well. But yeah, Anker offers a HUGE selection of products from consumer to professional.
