Cute Sanjinzy power bank with display and wireless charging now crowdfunding

The rather unknown company Sanjinzy has launched a Kickstarter campaign for a new power bank. Specifically, backers can reserve a unit by pledging $59, and shipping is scheduled to start in May. As with all other crowdfunding campaigns, buyers should be aware that they can potentially lose their money.

That said, the power bank is relatively compact and measures 3.9 x 1.6 x 0.8 inches. It comes with a braided lanyard and a capacity of 36Wh. For comparison, many smartphones have batteries with less than 20Wh, but it should be noted that power banks can’t charge other devices with 100% efficiency.

The power bank can be used to charge smartphones via an integrated USB cable, which is 27.5 inches long. The maximum charging speed is specified as 45 watts, which is sufficient for smartphones but not larger devices like laptops. Smaller gadgets such as an Apple Watch can also be charged wirelessly at up to 2.5 watts. An additional USB Type-C port is available, and the power bank can charge up to three devices simultaneously at up to 15 watts each.

Last but not least, Sanjinzy's portable charger has a built-in display with fairly large pixels, and the state of charge is not just indicated by a percentage number but stylish animations.
