Design
The power bank features a black, matte plastic exterior with two ports:
- USB-C Power Delivery (PD) input and output port
- USB-A port
There is also a power button that, upon pressing it, lights up to 4 blue LEDs to indicate the remaining charge of the power bank.
Inside the package, the power bank includes an instruction manual and a 39.4 inch USB-C to USB-C charging cable. The dimensions of the power bank are 5.9 in x 3.4 in x 1 in.
Features
- USB-C output: The USB-C port on the power bank can output up to 90 watts of power max. This is enough to satisfy most Macbooks and USB-C Power Delivery-compliant laptops, but can also charge smaller USB-C devices such as the Nintendo Switch.
- USB-C input: The USB-C port also serves as an input for recharging the power bank itself. Most Power Delivery-compliant USB-C wall adapters should work to recharge the power bank. The power bank can accepts up to a maximum of 60 watts (20V⎓3A), so the more powerful the wall adapter, the faster the power bank will recharge.
- USB-A output: The power bank also has a standard USB port that can be used to recharge iPhones, iPads, Android phones, Bluetooth speakers and the like. There is no USB-A cable included with the power bank, so you’ll need to use the device’s charging cable to plug into the power bank.
- Programmable Power Supply (PPS) Support: This enables fast charging for Samsung Galaxy S20/20+ phones.
- 30,000mAh capacity: This is larger than many other power banks and it’s important to note that at this size, it cannot be taken on your carry-on on airplanes. Using the standard USB-A port, you can charge an iPhone up to 6-7 times with this power bank. When charging a laptop, you can expect about 1 charge from the power bank before the power bank needs recharged (some energy is loss in the power conversion to the higher voltages).
