Battery technology has somewhat finally caught up with our devices and mobility. For a long time, if you wanted enough power to charge a MacBook Air or fast charge an iPhone, you had to carry a really heavy brick. You accepted the bulk because we needed the power. The CUKTECH 15 Air aims to solve that problem. It offers 65-watt charging speeds and a surprisingly slim design, making it a perfect companion for your mobile office.

Design and portability
Measuring under 1 inch thick and only 10.8 oz weight wise, the battery is really portable. It fits easily into a laptop bag, backpack, or pocket, making it ideal for travel or even day-to-day use. It is thinner and lighter than many 10,000 mAh power banks, yet it offers 15,000 mAh of capacity.
The headline feature is the 65-watt USB-C fast charging for your laptop. It is capable of charging laptops including the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. According to the vendor, it can charge a MacBook Air M3 to almost halfway full or an iPhone 17 Pro Max to approximately 67% in about 30 minutes. With a 15,000mAh battery, you can charge an iPhone 17 Pro Max about 1.6 times, going from zero to full. It’s really pretty incredible to see something this size get this much power on a laptop as well.
If you need to charge more than one thing, it supports up to three devices at once with a total output of 100 watts. This means your laptop, iPhone, and AirPods stay powered simultaneously. The built-in color display is a nice touch, giving you real-time visibility on battery level, input and output power, and estimated recharge time so you aren’t guessing a whole lot. I really do love batteries with screens. I know they drive up the cost, but they’re a great addition.

Overall, the CUKTECH 15 Air is a solid choice if you need a battery that can handle a laptop and an iPhone but doesn’t feel like a brick in your bag or even a crossbody. It strikes a nice balance between capacity and portability. If you are looking to streamline your everyday carry without sacrificing power, this is worth a look.
