Shargeek 170 Mobile Power: Portable Power Bank with Aesthetics and Functions
Most mobile power supplies appear practical and boring, with an appearance like ordinary gray bricks. But Shargeek took a different approach and launched this Shargeek 170 power bank with both aesthetics and functionality. This 24000mAh (86.4Wh) and 170W portable battery not only has strong charging capabilities, but also has a stunning appearance design.
Shargeek 170: Rating 9/10
The Shargeek 170 is a great-looking power bank that provides the strong power you need. Its large capacity of 24000mAh is enough to fill multiple devices.
Pros and cons:
Price and purchase channels:
Shargeek 170 is available on Amazon and Shargeek official websites. Despite the price tag of $199, there are often promotions, as low as $129.90, which is equivalent to a 30% discount.
The packaging contains a mobile power supply, a braided USB-C to USB-C data cable about 1.5 meters long, and a microfiber protective cover to prevent scratching its plastic case during transportation.
Specification:
The cost of high appearance:
Shargeek 170 is indeed an outstanding device, and its appearance is comparable to high-end products such as Nothing Phone (2). However, it's slightly more expensive compared to other mobile power supplies with equivalent capacity and power output. For example, the Ugreen 145W fast-charging mobile power supply we reviewed has a slightly larger capacity (25000mAh/90Wh) and a slightly lower output (145W), but it costs only $100, which is $79 cheaper than the Shargeek 170.
This transparent plastic case of this power bank makes it look beautiful, but also makes it more susceptible to damage. While other power banks also use the same plastic material, the Shargeek 170's transparent shell is more susceptible to scratches and other appearance damage. Therefore, it is recommended to always put it in the protective case when transporting. When in use, you can also place the mobile power supply on the protective cover to avoid scratches.
Adequate battery to meet the charging needs of dual devices:
The Shargeek 170's 24000mAh (86.4Wh) capacity is enough to fill my 13-inch M2 iPad Air and iPhone 14 Pro Max (both close to running out of power). After filling both devices, about 10% of the battery remains, enough to fully fill my 40mm Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (although it's about 50% battery).
The maximum combined output power of this mobile is 170 watts, and the maximum output power of each USB-C interface is 140 watts. The maximum output power of the USB-A interface is also up to 30 watts, and you can use the Shargeek 170 only to quickly charge the device. It also has a "low current mode" that can be used to power low-power devices such as smartwatches and headphones. This mode will automatically exit after two hours, but it will be enough to fill your small electronics.
Three USB ports, charging at the same time:
The Shargeek 170 is equipped with three high-power USB-C ports, allowing you to quickly fill up three devices. However, even if the maximum output power of each USB-C interface is 140 watts, the mobile power supply still needs to operate within its 170 watts total output power limit. Here is how it manages the power output of each USB interface when using multiple devices:
| Interface | USB-C1 (W) | USB-C1 (W) | USB-C1 (W) | USB-C1 (W) | USB-C2 (W) | USB-C2 (W) | USB-C2 (W) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USB-C1 | 65 | 100 | 140 | - | 140 | - | - | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| USB-C2 | 65 | 65 | - | 140 | - | 140 | - | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| USB-A | 18 | - | 30 | 30 | - | - | 30 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
148 | 165 | 170 | 170 | 140 | 140 | 30 |
The maximum output power of both USB-C interfaces is 140 watts, which is very convenient to use. No matter which interface you plug the device into, you can get the highest charging speed. In addition, the 30 watt output power of the USB-A interface is much higher than the 15 to 22.5 watt output power of other mobile power supplies.
No need to wait for a long time, quickly fill the equipment:
In addition to the fast charging output, the input speed of this mobile power supply is also very fast. You can charge the Shargeek 170 via either USB-C port, with input power limits of 140 watts for both ports. This means I can fully charge it in less than 45 minutes.
In addition, I can use the power bank for direct charging. So if my power bank and other devices are running out of power at the end of the day and I have only one charging adapter, I can plug the phone into the power bank and plug the Shargeek 170 into the charging brick. In this way, my devices are fully charged when they wake up.
Is it worth buying the Shargeek 170 power bank?
In addition to its beautiful appearance, the Shargeek 170 has several features that allow you to quickly charge itself and your device. This means you don't need to plug it into the device for a long time to transfer power, making charging more convenient. However, it is much more expensive than other power banks with similar capacity, albeit slightly slower charging.
If you only care about basic features, the Shargeek 170 may not be for you. But if you want something beautiful and value savings, paying a premium for this power bank is absolutely worth the money.
