GoKawiilThe UGREEN Nexode Power Bank does something that no other power bank does. This power bank is MagSafe-compatible, supports Qi2, and can top off a MacBook Pro in less than an hour. If you are looking for a single device that can charge your entire Apple setup at once for your upcoming summer travel, this might be it. I use it almost daily.

UGREEN Nexode Power Bank 20000mAh
This is not your everyday MagSafe battery bank. With a 20,000 mAh battery and a massive 145W output, it is built to charge everything in your bag or on your desk. It will charge your MacBook Pro, iPad, and iPhone without a problem. The C1 port alone can charge a MacBook Pro to 38% in only 30 minutes. That speed makes a massive difference when you are near zero on a long travel day or coming back to your desk with a completely dead battery.
The wireless side is not just an add-on either. The top of the Nexode supports fast 15-watt wireless charging with full Qi2 support. It is fantastic for travel or desk use when you just want to drop your phone down and let it charge without hunting for a cable. I’d love to see Qi2.2 in future versions.
A full-color display shows the exact charging speed, which ports are currently active, and how much battery life the device has left. This feature does not sound exciting until you have it, and then you wonder how you lived without it. I almost forget it is an actual portable battery at times because we leave it plugged up on our kitchen counter as a permanent charging station for the family.
3-in-1 charging solution
The UGREEN Nexode Power Bank 20000mAh is much more than just a battery. It’s your desktop charger, MagSafe dock, and travel power solution all wrapped into one. It has two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, so you can plug in your laptop, iPad, and a Kindle at the same time. It is the kind of product that earns a permanent spot in your backpack or on your nightstand because it can do so much. I still have a few older USB-A devices hanging around, but I do not have many USB-A wall chargers left, so I really appreciate this legacy port. I have honestly considered buying a second one of these just to leave permanently in my travel bag.
