Measurements
Ravpower%20RP-PB33%20load%20sweep

The power bank can deliver about 1.2A, but the overload protection do not really work.

Ravpower%20RP-PB33%20charge%20load%20sweep

When connected to power there is even less over current protection.

Ravpower%20RP-PB33%20usb%20out%2010ohm

It can deliver 0.5A for nearly 4 hours. The 2000mAh output capacity matches fairly well with a 3350mAh battery

Ravpower%20RP-PB33%20usb%20out%205ohm

At higher current the output capacity will be slightly lower. The voltage is stable until the power bank is empty (nice).

10ohm

Noise is 4mV rms and 83mVpp

5ohm

Noise is 15mV rms and 92mVpp, this is very good results.

Ravpower%20RP-PB33%20charge

The power bank uses 0.9A when charging and it takes about 5 hours.

Simulating a weak charger or long cable will slow down the charging, but not that much. Here it takes 6 hours.


Conclusion

This power bank fairly looks good, it has low noise, can deliver rated capacity and current. I would have prefered a DCD coding, instead of Apple coding and a better overload protection.
