9,000,000mAh eBay power bank opened: The shocking truth revealed
A $10 power bank claimed impossible specs. The teardown exposed everything.
Deep Dive
A ZDNET investigation exposed a fraudulent eBay power bank claiming a 9,000,000mAh capacity for just over $10. The teardown revealed a tiny, dead unit with typos-ridden packaging, containing a minuscule battery and sand for weight. For perspective, a genuine 24,000mAh Anker bank costs $150. The scam product's physical size alone made its advertised capacity—equivalent to 375 high-end power banks—physically and economically impossible.
