    I think you’re right and I was just memeing, but I’m curious how the battery percentage went up

      I guess that running power in a circle like that as fast as possible might heat up the battery, which reduces internal resistance, which increases battery voltage during load, which tricks the sensor that uses voltage to estimate charge.

      It similar to when a fully charged but very cold car battery cannot start a car, as if the battery was discharged. Then you turn on the cars lights for a while, which to the cold batter is a significant load. The battery heats up, and then you can start the car.

        You’re probably mostly correct. Some of them do literally count that, but (to my knowledge) most measure voltage as a battery with lower charge usually outputs less and vice versa.

      My guess is it didn’t, and the numbers were pulled out the OP’s ass.

      Otherwise, idk how power banks monitor their percentage of charge, but being that it’s a percentage, if you fuck up the capacity, the same amount of energy will take up a higher percentage of that capacity. /shrug
