If you are charging a tablet or laptop this can make a big difference. The Cygnett 27,000mAh USB-C Power Bank allows you to charge two devices with USB-C 75% faster than a standard USB, and charge an additional device at a slower pace on a standard USB connection.

USB-C connections allow for faster charging provided you have the appropriate cables and a compatible device. Not really necessary if you are just charging a phone but if you are charging multiple devices, including laptops and iPads then it’s nice to have. With so many power bank options available to choose from I wanted a power bank with USB-C connectivity (check your devices for compatibility). In 2020 I’m planning on doing 28 days on the Australian Alps Walking Track and on this walk I’ll need to be able to manage my power without the expectation of of recharging as I go. As someone who blogs and records and edits a podcasts in the middle of nowhere, I can best be described as a a heavy power user. For most hikers a power bank of any size is not a consideration with many preferring to disconnect when out on the trail. Rain and heavy tree coverage always seems to be my companion on many of the hikes that I do so it limits my use of solar panels.

I’ve always been a power bank user, mainly because of the amount of technology I carry for blogging. But if all you need is a couple of charges from a device that is thin, light and a true joy to use, I don’t think you’ll beat this one from CoolReall.Cygnett 27,000mAh USB-C Power Bank Review

If you’re looking for something that will supply 4 or 5 charges before you have to re-charge it, you’ll be better off with something else. This little gem from CoolReall stayed cool to the touch, even while charging the tablet.īottom line: I really like this device a lot. I’ve had a few that got very hot, and several that got warm to the touch. One thing I always pay attention to when I’m testing devices like this is how warm they get during the charging cycle. You can get external battery packs with higher capacities, but I think two phone charges from a battery pack of this size, weight and price is quite acceptable.įour lights on the side of the charger let you know at a glance how much charge is remaining in the unit’s external battery. It charged each of the phones twice and the tablet once.
ILIKE POWER BANK REVIEW ANDROID
I tested the CoolReall charger/battery pack with three different smart phones and a 7 inch Android tablet. In fact, it’s just about the thinnest and lightest rectangular charger/battery pack that I have ever seen. Because of its thin, compact design, it slips easily, comfortably and inconspicuously into most any pocket. The first thing I noticed when I opened the package was how thin and light this thing is.
ILIKE POWER BANK REVIEW PORTABLE
I recently had the opportunity to check out a CoolReall 5000mAh Portable Charger External Battery Power Bank, and I came away quite impressed. I have tried a number of different models, and most of them work quite well, but some I like better than others for various reasons. Portable chargers/external battery packs make it easy to keep our mobile devices charged up and ready for use during times when we can’t plug them into an electrical outlet or car charger.
