$120 at Amazon<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nBig capacity in a tidy package<\/h2>\n The 25,000 mAh capacity puts it well within the TSA\u2019s 100Wh capacity limit and I have taken this battery on two flights in my carry-on with no issue. The capacity is enough to fill my tester smartphones (an iPhone 15 and a Galaxy S23 Ultra) around four times each. Separately, it pushed my aging 16-inch MacBook Pro from 10 percent to 78 percent. That translates to around nine additional hours of use for my typical workload (Wi-Fi, VPN, too many Chrome tabs and other basic productivity apps).<\/p>\n
My only gripe with the design is that the very shiny screen has become slightly dull with use. It doesn\u2019t look bad, just not as mint-fresh as when it was unboxed. That\u2019s to be expected, and I\u2019ll take the luxe finish over some ruggedized enclosure any day.<\/p>\n\n\nTwo built-in cables and a big capacity let you charge two devices at once.<\/span> (Amy Skorheim for Engadget)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSure, forget your cables at home<\/h2>\n Possibly the power bank\u2019s most useful features are the two built-in USB-C cables, and one even loops around to create a handy carry strap. It feels robust and well-anchored enough that I don\u2019t fear lugging it around like that. The other cable retracts into the unit and extends up to two feet when needed. The end stays neatly tucked into a well in the body and stays magnetically in place. The cords not only look tidy, their inclusion means you\u2019ll never find yourself in the ironic position of having a dead device and a full battery pack, but no way to connect the two.<\/p>\n
Both cables serve in-out functions so you can easily plug them into any USB-C power adapter for a refill. There are also two additional USB (one Type-A and one Type-C) ports, so if you\u2019ve got a specialized cable, such as Lightning, smartwatch or microUSB connector, you\u2019ll be able to charge those devices too.<\/p>\n
Admirable speeds<\/h2>\n The 165-watt rating, as with any power bank, doesn’t mean you\u2019ll get that power out of a single port. The rating is a combined, almost theoretical total, achieved with all four ports engaged. The three USB-C outlets are rated at a max of 100W, but to get to that speed, you\u2019ll need a device capable of taking it \u2014 my biggest energy hog is my laptop and it maxed out at around 90 watts using the power bank. But for all but the most extreme cases, that\u2019s plenty fast.<\/p>\n
My tester iPhone 15 went from near-dead to 70 percent refilled in around 40 minutes. The Galaxy S23 Ultra powered up from five to 100 percent in under an hour, and my 16-inch MacBook got a 68 percent refill in just over 50 minutes. That\u2019s not the fastest performance I\u2019ve tested, but it\u2019s better than most other banks and plenty quick enough to get you back in action in a decent amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\nAmy Skorheim for Engadget<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWrap-up<\/h2>\n It\u2019s gratifying when, after years of testing one type of product, you get one that is, more or less, an ideal example of the category. This is the battery I grab when I\u2019m heading to get some work done at the coffee shop. I\u2019ve taken it with me on road trips and on flights, and it hasn\u2019t let me down once. The fact that you don\u2019t need to remember to grab a cable takes away an extra bit of stress, and the accurate display means you know just about how much more you can squeeze out of the bank’s rather sizable depths.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
