UGREEN Nexode 100 W Power Bank, 20000 mAh/72Wh (25188)

Overview

The UGREEN Nexode PB205 (25188) is a 20,000 mAh (72 Wh) power bank that charges a USB-C laptop at up to 100 W, with a second USB-C port and a USB-A port for a phone, tablet or earbuds. A digital display shows the percentage left. It suits travel and work away from a socket for anyone carrying a laptop and phone.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a 14 or 16-inch MacBook Pro, MacBook Air or USB-C Windows laptop (Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS) that accepts USB PD at up to 100 W, using a 5 A cable.
• Also charges iPhone 15 to 17, Galaxy and other Android phones, iPads and Android tablets, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck and drones over USB-C.
• A laptop that needs more than 100 W charges more slowly.
• Not for laptops that charge only through a barrel pin, and no wireless (Qi) charging.
• No AC outlet: it is not an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or inverter.

What else you need

A 65 W or higher USB-C Power Delivery (PD) charger on USB-C1 for the fastest recharge. The 100 W USB-C to USB-C cable in the box is rated for the 100 W output.

Before you buy

• Only USB-C1 gives 100 W; the maximum is not guaranteed to every device or every port at once, and the usable output is lower than the cell rating because of conversion losses.
• At 100 W an under-rated or damaged cable can overheat or limit power. Use a 5 A cable, fully seated.
• Devices negotiate their own charging profile; phones with proprietary fast-charge modes fall back to a shared standard. The cable rating and the device’s input decide the speed, not the operating system.
• It does not replace the maker’s own charger for firmware updates, recovery or safety-critical use.
• No wall charger is in the box.
• At 72 Wh it is allowed in cabin baggage under current IATA guidance, which limits a passenger to two power banks of 100 Wh or less, keeps them out of checked baggage and lets airlines set stricter rules. Keep it accessible rather than in an overhead locker and follow crew instructions on use.
• Stop using it if any connector, cable, enclosure or plug is bent, cracked, loose, swollen, scorched or unusually hot. Keep ports dry and free of lint or metal; never probe them with metal. Do not modify, splice, crush or knot cables, and dispose of it through an authorised battery or e-waste channel, never in fire or mixed waste.
