Power-bank calculation

How many full charges?

We take 75% of the power bank’s rated Wh and divide it by this phone’s 17.44Wh. This is a planning estimate, not a charging guarantee.

17.44Wh tells you how much.
Charging power tells you how fast.

Wired chargingFast USB-C charging with a compatible PPS charger

The phone, USB power adapter and cable must negotiate a compatible charging profile. Use certified equipment suitable for Australia.

Wireless chargingQi-certified wireless charging

Alignment, heat and charger certification affect real charging power.

Frequently asked

Keep energy and charging power separate.

How many Wh is the Pixel 8 battery?

The model-specific source lists 17.44Wh and 4,485mAh. Watt-hours are the useful figure when comparing it with a power bank.

How many times can a 10,000mAh power bank charge the Pixel 8?

A power bank rated around 37Wh provides about 1.6 full charges in this planning calculation. We assume 75% of rated energy reaches the phone battery.

Does 17.44Wh mean the phone charges at 17.44W?

No. Wh is stored energy; W is charging power at a point in time.
