I think this might be the highest quality power bank I've seen taken to bits on this channel! Handles 2.5A without much sag? Thermistor for cell temperature protection? Some good quality cells? All in a nice relatively compact form factor? Color me impressed. Much different from the usual fare around here. Of course, it's nothing special compared to what is possible or should be done... but compared to what typically gets taken to bits on this channel? Yeah.

The inductor is used for both boost and buck (charging and discharging) using internal MOSFETs in synchronous dc-dc converters. The ADC is used for its fuel-gauge feature, and can be read from a microcontroller via I2C. A short button press turns on the circuit, long one turns it off. A double-press toggles a flashlight.

Datasheet sais it is 96% eff on load and 97% eff on charging. Seems to use the same inductor for boost to out and drop to battery. Quite nice.

As I have a LOT of 18650 cells, I could take some with me and replace them on-the-fly when they discharge, lasting all day long with battery charges. The problem is: These battery circuits have a memory and save how much capacity the batteries have left. This would mean if I put a single pair of almost dead batteries in there, it would say that I need to "replace the battery" and it would never recover with that same chip, even if I put good batteries back. Basically: The chip does planned obsolecence for you. Nice, huh? Damn.

Inspired by your good self, when I tried to resurrect my Samsung phone (GT-B2710, not that ‘smart’ but very rugged) and noted the bulging battery pack, I did some disassembly. Sure enough, under the top is a circuit board with little electronic bits! Presumably charging control circuitry stuff..(my electrical knowledge is limited to a 12 month stint training as a BBC transmission engineer in the 90’s as a career break, before returning to medicine. Favourite transmitters were the BBC World Service array near Penrith, with a hall full of massive valve amplifiers. They carried some serious current. I have therefore opted to buy an OEM 1300 mAh replacement battery rather than a no name 750 mAh for 60% the cost.

If you want to build your own powerbank, with this injoinic chip (or its cousins), you'll find several pre-buil pcbs. But of curse you can get the chip and follow the reference designs in the datasheet.

F1 and F2 on the data pins are ferrite beads, which are used to suppress EMI. The control chip has a clock signal, so it is subject to EMI regulations.

Based on the board marking of "FB1" I think the component "JR" is a jumper encased in a ferrite bead.

You may notice that there are no rectifiers in the schematic, it must use three internal FETs as switches and synchronous rectifiers to form a Buck converter for charging and a boost converter for the 5V output. This is how it might achieve 97% efficiency although it still sounds very ambitious.

You can also find out if it has a step down circuit if you put your meter in series with the battery while charging. Is the batterie current higher than the USB current you have a step down converter. If the batterie current is lower oer almost the same its a linear regulator. I mean if you have the case open anyways than it makes sense to do so. If you dont want to touch the internals than the method with charging discharging is the way to go.

@animefreak5757

most power banks don't use buck converters, they simply bleed off the extra voltage as heat. So measuring input current works in most cases.

Capacity is strongly linked to the charge voltage accuracy. If it doesn't reach optimum voltage then it won't fully charge the battery. I would check the battery voltage during charge to see what it goes up to. They should all be using sub 1% tolerance voltage references. I'd test the batteries on a separate charge circuit which you use for capacity comparison tests.
