Lenovo launches new high-capacity Legion power bank with 170W fast charging

Lenovo has launched a new high-capacity power bank in China, the Legion PB9. Featuring an advertised capacity of 24,000 mAh, this portable can recharge phones multiple times and even power most gaming handhelds for a good while.

There's support for multiple fast charging standards, including  PD 3.1, PD 3.0, PPS, SCP, QC, and FCP. This wide compatibility means that the power bank will work with most devices, including laptops and accessories.

As for the port configuration, this Legion power bank has one USB Type-A and two USB Type-C ports. The Type-A port can offer a maximum of 30W, while the Type-C ports max out at 140W.

The advertised 170W fast charging can only be achieved when one of the USB-C ports and the Type-A port is in use. In such a configuration, the total power output can reach that mark. When all three of the ports are in use, the two Type-C ports will max out at 65W, while the USB-A will offer up to 18W, totaling 148W.

There's a built-in display on this Lenovo portable charger, and it can offer important charging info, including the input and output power. Speaking of which, it can recharge at 140W, and there are multiple safety features to ensure safe recharging and discharging.

Other highlights include a sleek design and built-in LED lights. In China, the Lenovo Legion PB9 power bank has a retail price of CNY 549, about $82, making it a pretty affordable option for its features. There's no word on its global launch yet, but for those interested, the 200W Ugreen Nexode 25K could be a good alternative (curr. $89.99 on Amazon).
