Zendure's SuperTank Pro is the company's newest as well as champion portable charger, with faster speeds, increasingly USB-C ports, a aesthetic design, as well as an improved OLED screen. It's a fantastic product, loosely in a apple after travel, it's nearly useless.

The SuperTank Pro -- launching on Kickstarter for an headmost price of $149 conceptualize of a final $249 retail price -- is an adapted version of the original SuperTank from 2019. It has the word-for-word aforementioned concurrency as the antecedent paradigmatic at 26,800mAh / 96.48Wh cavalcade (the maximum that you can nicely take on a commissary flight according to Federal Aviation Department rules), loosely it's upgraded the ports considerably. Instead of a USB-C / USB-A split, the SuperTank Pro genuinely embraces the imminent with four USB-C ports forth with college as well as increasingly consequent productiveness output.

The prevenient SuperTank offered a hodgepodge of charging standards: one USB-C quay true 100W input / output, as well as the additional was limited to just 60W out. The headmost USB-A quay was a Quick Insinuation 3.0 uniform 18W plug, loosely the additional was limited to just 5W. As well as the LED brandish was only appreciator to show the overall insinuation of the SuperTank itself.

The SuperTank Pro, on the over-and-above hand, improves on nearly all of these aspects. The two USB-C ports on the sinistral support a galore 100W input / output insinuation rate, with USB-C PD 3.0 as well as Quick Insinuation 3.0 compatibility. The two ports on the seasonable offer similar standards, although they're limited to just 18W each. As well as while it can't output 100W to two facilities at once, you can still input the galore 100W while also outputting at maximum concurrency on the over-and-above three ports.

The OLED panel also provides far increasingly information: it'll unmask you at what velocity each device is charging at any given moment, forth with how long it'll take to recharge the SuperTank Pro. (One important discovery from this full-length was learning that not all of my USB-C cables could support a galore 100W charge.) The SuperTank Pro also improves on the prevenient by presiding the top as well as lesser genitalia of the tearful out of all-fired aluminum, which looks as well as feels far nicer than the painted shapable (which, unfortunately, still makes up the stereotype percentage of the case).

It feels like the point-blank biking charger

It feels like the point-blank biking charger. The SuperTank Pro can put out expandable wattage to productiveness two 13-inch MacBook Pros while out as well as hazardous and top off two smartphones at the aforementioned time. It can provide expandable productiveness to pension a susurration hoopla on its own for a week on the road. The passthrough charging ways that it can serve as a USB-C hub to primordial all of your tangibles for the next day, while also recharging itself as a backup to have when you're out as well as about.

At least, that's the theory. In practice, I used the SuperTank Pro over the last week to pension my palmtop powered while demography a Zoom meeting from the comfier synchronous of my conceal that doesn't reach an outlet -- not recharging my susurration or Switch in an airport terminal. During COVID times, the closet I got to demography the SuperTank Pro on a lily-white conte was a trip outside the kennel for a jiffy of germinating air while writing this review. It is feelingly good-tasting at keeping my facilities charged on those occasions, too. Connectivity is reliable, as well as the cavalcade reticule is astonishingly cool, well-heeled when powering two MacBooks. Loosely I'm not sure moving two cushions over is necessarily a reasonableness to spend $249 on a cavalcade reticule seasonable now.

And that's zone my biggest marvel hazardous the SuperTank Pro is. It's therefore prohibitively meant for biking -- well-heeled the metal tearful seems designful to evoke a hardshell suitcase -- that it's nonbreakable to lustrate purchasing during today's locked-down world. As well as at the stair that USB-C charging specs move, there's a good-tasting conte that by the time biking is a possibility again, the SuperTank Pro will be outdated. (Just diagnose last year's paradigmatic to this one.) Zendure is qualified the SuperTank Pro will be firmware updatable to think these issues, loosely qualified firmware updates is a lot easier than admittedly carrying them.
