I've tested a LOT of power banks over the years, but this UGREEN Nexode 165W unit is on another level. It powers my MacBook Pro at 100W and still charges my phone at 65W-simultaneously! The built-in retractable USB-C cable is a genius move. No more tangled cords in my tech pouch, and it's the perfect length. I love that it recharges itself in under 2 hours with a 100W wall charger (which I pair with UGREEN's 45W GaN charger). It's slim enough to toss in a backpack, feels premium in the hand, and the digital readout on the screen is super helpful. If you travel, work remote, or just need reliable backup power-this is it. Pros: Super fast output (100W + 65W) Fast recharge (100W input = full in 1.9 hours) Built-in USB-C cable = no clutter Sleek and pro design 🔌 Cons: Slightly pricey, but worth every penny Full review video on YouTube @ MoneyMarrowTech Read more
It's a great battery pack. High power output, high battery capacity. Can charge my phone for a few hours at a time. It's really good. The battery gets slightly warm when powering high power devices, such as my laptop. It charges my laptop just fine. It can power it for about an hour before the battery pack dies. The battery weighs a decent amount, but it makes sense for how much battery capacity it has. And its small enough to fit in my bag, but too big to fit in my pocket. All in all, the battery functions well with any device I try to power with it. Read more
Excellent product, build quality is good. Obviously a great tool to have while away from home, hiking, camping, etc. But have found it surprisingly useful around the house. Not being tethered to a wall, or still having your phone/computer/tablet not compromised when you pick one up and need to take it with you and you see the dreaded low battery warning. Charges fast, both ways. Read more
A must if you own a Switch 2. I hate to say I fell for a damn "influencer's" influence, but I looked one up and let's face it the switch 2 sucks on batter life. I put it on a price watch and the moment it went on sale I bought it. I have played till the battery warning came on when waiting for my daughter's classes to finish and plugged it in and it not only kept the system running, it added to the charge. Very happy and it comes with a very annoying but handy cord that you need to make sure is straight before plugging it in. It will support pass through charging, and the screen shows the flow of power in all directions. Read more
This power bank has many of the bells and whistles I've been looking for. First, it can out 100W for my laptop and still manage 45W for my cell phone. The build quality is excellent. The built-in retracting USB-C cable is an awesome idea and they even went the extra mile to put a magnetic catch when the cable is all the way in. If the cable is extended, just give it a little tug and of will self retract and magnetically fold over to be flush with the top of the unit. Great job there guys. The size is what is to be expected for 20000 Ah, the batteries they use are on the lighter side. The best design idea is the TFT display that tells you the incoming and outgoing wattages. It also has a trickle charge feature for charge things like watches and such that don't like high wattage. The display will tell you how long until the battery is charged if the net wattage is positive or show you how long until the battery is dead if the net wattage is negative. Again, very cool feature, that it will put out 100W to charge my laptop but still try and charge itself with whatever charger is around, great feature for travel. The built-in auto retractible was it incredibly easy to use not having to worry if you forget a cable, these two things make the power bank extremely functional in day to day usage and the size is just about right, much smaller and you don't get to charge anything, much bigger and it becomes an actual brick you can use for self defense. Great design overall, you can chart you charge/discharge. Very cool. Hwy UGREEN, if your listening, you should make the USB-A port and actual extension port for data from the PC. I've had this on other bricks and it comes in surprisingly useful, especially since more USB-C ports are standard and you'll usually get one USB-A port if you're lucky. I would like full credit for this idea and expect my royalties to begin quickly. Read more
This power bank is honestly one of the best I’ve ever owned. It charges every device I’ve tried it with super fast — from my phone to my camera gear — and it even recharges itself very quickly too. One of my favorite features is the smart display. It shows you all the key information you need, like the voltage and wattage for each device that’s charging. That kind of detail makes it easy to see exactly how much power is flowing and helps me manage my devices efficiently. Performance-wise, it’s excellent. The only small downside I’ve noticed is that it doesn’t quite match the advertised number of full charges, especially on high-capacity devices like iPads or laptops. You’ll still get great performance, just not quite as many cycles as the marketing suggests. Overall, it’s a premium, reliable, and super-fast power bank — perfect for creators or anyone who needs dependable power on the go. Why 4 stars? It’s nearly perfect, but since it doesn’t fully live up to the listed charge cycles, a solid 4 stars is fair — still an excellent buy and one of the top-tier power banks available. Would you like me to make a shorter “Amazon-ready” summary version too (under 500 characters)? Read more
