Yeah, that was the case with the Nitecore FX1, one review on Amazon measured that it consumes around 350mA by itself. That makes sense as it needs to feed its fancy features and a bright LCD screen. Not sure if it's still the case for the FX3, but in general I would avoid anything with a screen when it comes to charging from a power bank.

The simple Wasabi charger seeps only 28mA in idle, not even enough to keep the INIU power bank to stay on. Auto-shutdown when not in use is nice

Just an FYI, the new rectangle flat Wasabi charger is even more efficient, it consumes only 16-19mA itself (comparing to 28mA of the previous oval model). This model sits flat better in my backpack than the oval/vertical model while charging.

Kudos to the engineers at Wasabi Power for considering the USB-charging use case thoroughly.
