Charging a laptop from a power bank usually means watching the percentage crawl upward. The UGREEN Nexode 25000mAh 200W PD 3.1 TFT 3-Port Power Bank charges much faster, with a total output of 200 watts across three ports. Charging a 16-inch MacBook Pro from the 140W USB-C port happens quickly enough that you can keep working while it charges. A color TFT screen displays real-time information about the state of charge, the wattage coming in and going out, and an estimate of how much longer a full charge will take.
Head over to Amazon to get the UGREEN Nexode 25000mAh 200W PD 3.1 TFT 3-Port Power Bank for just $85, down from its usual price of $130. That’s a $45 discount and 35% off.
A power bank to keep all your devices charged and ready
With 140 watts from a single USB-C port, this power bank stands out from the rest. Most portable power banks max out at 20 or 30 watts, which is enough for a smartphone but not for fast-charging a laptop. By supporting PD 3.1, you can connect any number of laptops, including MacBooks, Dell XPS models, and many gaming laptops, and they’ll charge as if nothing had changed.
Unlike many portable power banks that have just a row of four LEDs to indicate how far charged the battery is, leaving you to make an educated guess, the color TFT screen indicates exactly where the battery stands. It displays input and output wattage in real time, along with an approximate time to full charge.
This product has three ports, so you can connect your laptop, phone, and earbuds, and they’ll all charge at the same time. Two USB-C ports and one USB-A port cover virtually anything you carry around. Once your devices are connected, the available 200 watts distribute dynamically based on what each one needs, with no configuration required.
A large battery pack of 25,000mAh means you could get a good number of full phone charges out of a completely charged Nexode, roughly five for most handsets, with some energy left over for other things you need to top up. For laptops, you can probably charge one completely, depending on how much juice your device needs. Either way, you will likely have some charge left after powering your computer. As far as travel restrictions are concerned, the Nexode fits within the limits airlines set for portable batteries: 100Wh. That means you can bring it through airport security in your carry-on, while many larger power packs exceed the limit and can’t come along at all.
You can recharge the Nexode through one of its USB-C charging ports at up to 140 watts, so it typically takes less than two hours rather than sitting plugged in overnight. The Nexode also supports pass-through charging, meaning that while it’s being powered from another source, it continues feeding power to whatever devices are attached to its output ports.
