Shargeek 170 fast-charging power bank refreshed in new partly transparent colorway

The Shargeek 170 started life as a "trendy" sci-fi-styled crowdfunding reward that came with white end-caps and a Smart Display surround for an otherwise transparent "prismatic" housing - even though you might have noticed that its retail box displays a version with gray accents in the course of our full review.

Now, its maker has revealed that this version is not just box art: it can now be ordered alongside its white twin from the OEM's retail site. The Shargeek 170 in Gray houses the same ~24,000mAh "EV-grade" batteries in a triangular stack, although its up to 140W USB-C and up-to-30W type-A ports are highlighted in Sharge yellow, as is its power button, whereas those of the White version are not.

Accordingly, this new version of the 170 looks more like its predecessor the Storm2/Shargeek 100. Nevertheless, it still goes for $149 on sharge.com. Meanwhile, the OEM's innovative Disk SSD enclosure with integrated keyring retainer for a USB-C cable/lanyard is available at as little as $47.90 (or 80% of its original list price) in gray or yellow thanks to its 5% coupon on Amazon right now.
