CUKTECH brought a full charging lineup to IFA Berlin this year, along with the world’s first exoskeleton that runs on power banks, which is a game-changer. The brand’s name nods to the Cuk circuit, an efficient DC-DC power topology from 1976, and the company has spent over a decade building nothing but portable power products around that idea, shipping more than 10 million units a year across more than 40 countries.
That expertise shows up across three new charging devices built for people who plug in more than one thing at a time, from gaming laptops to entire desk setups. And then there’s the CUKTECH Power Exoskeleton Kit, a preview of where the company plans to go next. Here’s what you need to know.
The CUKTECH 30 Ultra Charging Station keeps your gaming laptop running at full power

Most gaming laptops throttle under a standard charger once they’re pushed into their highest performance mode, because the wall adapter simply can’t keep up. The CUKTECH 30 Ultra Charging Station is built around a single 300W DC port meant to solve exactly that.
An HP OMEN with an RTX 4070 pulls 296W in Performance Mode, and a Lenovo Legion R9000P hits 284W in Beast Mode. A typical 65W or 100W charger can’t sustain either. The 30 Ultra Charging Station can, which means performance mode stays performance mode instead of dropping frames and slowing frame rates a few hours in.
It ships with nine laptop adapter tips to cover different brands. And beyond the DC port, there are two 140W USB-C ports, a 33W one, and an 18W USB-A. CUKTECH’s ADC 2.0 system manages it all and supports 13 fast-charging protocols, including PD 3.1, Xiaomi 120W, and Huawei SCP.
The AI-driven power allocation adjusts in real time rather than splitting power evenly. Plug in a 100W laptop and a 5W pair of earbuds, and a traditional charger would cap the laptop at 65W to split things fairly. The 30 Ultra Charging Station reads what each port needs in real time and prioritizes the laptop, while the earbuds get exactly what they need and nothing more.
