This portable battery has a massive footprint, it measures around 5.7-inches by 3.2-inches and 1-inch. You will need to have an entire pocket or pouch for the power bank.

You can get this power bank in four colors: black, yellow, gray and blue. The case material is a coated aluminum that blends really well with the device's glass and plastic surfaces, 9to5Mac.

The glass charging puck in the center has a lighting bolt design with a color-matched coating. The display is a plastic cover over an LED numeric readout of the device's battery life.

The materials of the power bank are sturdy, but there is some concern over its durability over time. During the testing of critics, the battery lived in pockets and packs and it did not scuff any surface, though rough environments and frequent drops could damage its coating.

The labels that are printed over the USB ports seem to not be in the right position. The blue that indicates light for charging is not pleasing to look at because it bleeds out through most of the ports instead of the hole for the power bank light.

Charging the Flash 2.0

The battery pack charges through USB-C and can charge at up to 100W. Using a pass-through charging, the power bank can charge its battery while passing power through other devices at the same time. The second USB-C port can give 60W out to a device while using pass-through charging.

Chargeasap can fully charge in just an hour and 10 minutes when you use a 100W charger. The battery can charge fast when using the 75W Satechi charger, according to Apple Insider.

By using the USB-C pass-through charging worked great as well. The 100W in and out port on the battery can be used to power all of the ports and charge the battery all at the same time. This means that you could bring the battery alone and you can leave other charging devices, according to ZDNet.

The power bank is packed with a powerful battery with numerous charging options, at an expensive rate and will cost you $249. It will bring some simplicity in your bag tough, because it can replace the need for different charges and hubs for your devices. It can also charge five devices at the same time so you can top off devices while you are on the go.
