  • A great all-in-one power bank that works for a wide range of devices.

One of my wish list devices has been an all-in-one power bank that does wireless charging, has a built-in USB-C cable, and has a USB-C port.

I’ve tried quite a few, and all were a disappointment in one way or another.

So, in a nutshell, what we have is a decent-sized power bank that has built-in wireless charging that works with iPhone and Android devices, there’s a built-in USB-C cable for, well, all things USB-C, and there is a separate USB-C in/out port for charging and powering other devices.

The nice thing about this power bank is that it supports pass-through, which means that you can simultaneously charge the power back and also be charging other devices.

It’s a nice feature because it means you can travel with a single charger and split that power out to multiple devices through the power bank.
