So I preordered it, was told I'll get it next year - but it arrived about 3 weeks ago.
I was very excited, I need and tend to use a lot of USB-C power banks that can do higher voltage output. Main one I use all the time Sherpa 100PD . Was hoping that on top of being battery powered - actually usable around soldering iron, I can use this as a generic USB-C power bank. Boy, was up in for a ride
Let me get one thing out of the way. It's an excellent battery powered soldering iron. Better than any I've used before.
For some reason I couldn't upgrade to firmware version 1.0.4 - dunno why, 1.0.5 works. Having to use a web-browser , of the "horrible" kind (chrome based) - not ideal, but let's not get distracted.
I started testing it with random USB-C powered devices, higher power (voltage) required devices. In the end, I wanted to discharge it fully, so I plugged in an Ikea (so not cheap chinese crap) USB-C powered, with all PD negotiation circuitry inside Air Quality monitor. Boy, I've never seen so much smoke coming out of a device! Cracking noises and smoke. This iFix IT power bank just basically obliterated it.
To say that I don't trust it, would be an understatement.
I have no problems with battery powered devices. Being driving an EV for 8+ years, know lots of people working in the industry, I even run a podcast about EVs (take-it-ev podcast). But iFix it - don't trust them anymore.
Device came with firmware 1.0.3, so I tried upgrading to 1.0.4. That bricked it. I had to force it into DFU and downgrade to 1.0.3.
Contacted support, they told me they would accept a return, but otherwise can't send me a replacement due to high demand (gulp).
Now, given their attitude towards fruity company - imagine apple released this device, and I had this experience. Or better yet, someone working for iFix It had that experience ..
Honestly, I feel like I can't trust them anymore..
