There’s nothing more useless than a nice charger or power bank in your bag without a cable to use with it. This new charger line prevents that annoying mistake from happening.
Don’t you just hate it when you’re running out of juice on your portable devices and you totally forgot to bring a cable for your charger? It seems that the people over at UGREEN totally understand that and have come up with a convenient set of solutions depending on what devices you use and how you charge them on the go. This new retractable series takes the hassle of cables away.
The UGREEN Nexode Retractable 20,000mAh Powerbank
There’s nothing more useless than a power bank in your bag without a cable for you to charge with. This power bank is equipped with a 20,000 mAh capacity and an output of up to 165 watts, which is enough to charge and power most USB-C-compatible laptops. This 5.7 x 2.1-inch power bank weighs 550 g and has three output ports that can be used simultaneously. The built-in retractable cable can provide up to 100 W when used individually. The USB-C port can also give an output of 100 W; however, when used simultaneously, either port will switch to 65 W depending on which plugged-in device requires more power.
When used simultaneously, the built-in cable gives off 100 W, while the USB-C and USB-A ports give 10 W each. This power bank comes with a built-in backlit screen that gives animated indicators, charging levels, and power outputs to monitor your use. With an appropriate 100W PD charger, the Nexode Retractable 20,000mAh powerbank can charge fully in less than two hours.
The Nexode Retractable 65W Charger
In the same way, a wall charger without a cable is just as useless. The UGREEN Nexode Retractable 65W charger offers a built-in cable capable of 65W output when used individually. The single USB-C port offers the same output when used instead. When used together, the two ports split to 45 W and 20 W depending on which requires more output. When all three ports are used (including the USB-A port), the retractable cable gives off 45 W, while the two other ports give 7.5 W each. The retractable cable can extend up to 2.3 ft, and the entire charger weighs just 195 g—perfect for an everyday carry charger or even for traveling with a mobile phone, tablet, and even camera batteries.
The Nexode Retractable 145W Car Charger
The Nexode Retractable car charger is certainly the best solution for creatives who need to work on their computers while in transit (but not while driving) or at least charge their laptops while traveling to another location. This car charger offers 45 watts through the built-in cable but can offer up to 100 W on either of the two USB-C ports. An additional 30 W max is also available on the USB-A port.
This car charger supports replenishing laptop batteries along with simultaneously charging a phone, tablet, or even a set of camera batteries while in transit. It is, of course, important to note that the output will also depend on the car port being used.
The Nexode Retractable 100W USB-C Cable
To complete the series, a separate retractable USB-C cable is also available. It has a maximum length of 1 meter but retracts bilaterally into a disc-shaped casing that makes it easier to keep your charger and cable clutter-free inside your bag. This PD-compatible cable offers up to 100 W of charging with an appropriate charger or power bank and is also capable of USB 2.0 data transfer up to 480 Mbps.
