Zendure SuperTank Pro OLED power bank can fully recharge any USB-C laptop
If you can only buy one power bank for your traveling needs, then you may want to consider the Zendure SuperTank Pro. The manufacturer has sent us a sample for our impressions and there's honestly very little to complain about the product.
There are three main selling points about the SuperTank Pro that help distinguish it from other power banks. The first is its dense 96.48 Wh or 26800 mAh capacity. Since there are no laptops with internal battery capacities greater than 99 Wh, the Zendure power bank can essentially recharge any compatible laptop to full capacity. Its second selling point is the ability to output or input up to 100 W through a single USB-C port. Thus, users can recharge compatible smartphones and even laptops at a faster rate than most other power banks and then recharge the power bank itself at an equally fast rate.
The third main selling point is the integrated monochrome OLED display which is our favorite aspect of the SuperTank Pro. The display shows the real-time input or output activity in watts for each of the four USB-C ports. If you like to see exactly how much power is entering or leaving the bank, then the display becomes invaluable for confirming how fast connected devices are charging or discharging. Other helpful data like estimated recharge time and remaining capacity are shown as well.
We connected the Zendure power bank to our Dell Precision 14 5470 which recharges via USB-C. Fully recharging the laptop takes between 90 to 120 minutes with the Zendure which is similar to how long it would take with the regular Dell AC adapter.
A notable disadvantage of the Zendure is its thick and boxy form factor. Slimmer power banks slide into backpacks more discretely in comparison. Additionally, we would have loved to see rubberized edges and corners to protect against potential drops and bumps. It's not exactly a lightweight or inexpensive power bank and so some additional protection would have been nice.
The Zendure PowerBank Pro is now shipping for $169 USD directly from the manufacturer. The official product page includes more information and common specifications about the power bank.
