7) A 12000mAh REAL CAPACITY power bank, able
to charge a 1500mAh capacity phone for 8 times full?

This is a common mistake make by most of the people. For rough calculation of the total charge time, kindly use this formula
REAL CAPACITY * conversion rate * phone battery health / phone capacity = total charge times
EXAMPLE: 12000 x 0.8 x 0.8 / 1500 = 5.12 charge
times (0.5-1 times plus minus) What’s conversation rate? Conversation rate is the remaining percentage of the battery after the battery lost in heat or PCB operation.
