Hmm, they may have changed this, or I have used plenty of triggers in my setups before.
I did a little testing (accuracy of a lazy hand measure):
100 W drain for 5 mins (300s)
Measuring in sell price
Q6 (200$ fully charged)
Drained a battery from 200 to 163 = 37 "charge"
Charging that back up took 5:30 (330s)
Some math later, a fully drained Q6 would charge in about 30 mins (real time)
Q1 (100$ fully charged)
Drained a battery from 100 to 60 = 40
Charging that back up took 5:30 (330s)
The full charge is 2.5 times that, about 14 minutes.
Side note, when fully charged, a battery bank no longer consumes power (my test setup lit up an extra light bulb as the battery filled up)
So, charging time is equal to about "90W of consumption" -time. If you can drop your "active" consumption down to 9W (everything behind a camera, or some such), you get 20 hours of uptime in 2 hours of charge time. (didn't Really test that part, but that's how I think it should work).
Basically, charging costs 5 W, and the effective charge rate is 90W, that's where some magic happens
