RAVPower doesn't full explain what technique they use to manage their pass through charging but the more I read their blog entries about the subject the more they seem to offer caveats, precautionary remarks and what I might call "rationalizations" about why the practice, at least with "their" pass-through-charging technique may not be a good practice except in certain temporary situations. Clearly, they are recommending that you NOT use their power banks permanently connected to a power source in your car to run dash cameras all day, full time.
Below is the final paragraph from RAVPower's blog article "Is Pass Through Tech Dangerous to Your Power Bank’s Health?".
"In the end, to avoid damaging your device or power bank, follow two simple rules. First, make sure your power bank is equipped with the right circuitry to support pass through. Second, if you need to use it, don’t do it for very long – think emergency rations situations. By limiting pass through to a few hours at most, you should be able to reduce heat and the potential for battery damage."
Ok, i want to be a lab mouse. I will post here when the power bank is damaged or my work car us on fire.
