And that is that it’s able to 13V 6A max output, and that voltage far exceeds what any 3.8V telephone battery is able to. An equal 35.9 Wh for the everyday telephone battery voltage would lead to a capability of 9,440 mAh, so for those who have been pondering one thing alongside the strains of “that appears similar to a ten,000 mAh energy financial institution” – effectively, sure.
