Ive used plenty of power banks in my life but none of them were too costly.
So when I was pitched a $249 power bank, I was intrigued.
Lets get into the details.
What does it offer?
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Thankfully, it does.
The Chargeasap Flash 2.0 has plenty of features that youd be right to expect at this price.
It has four ports in total: two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports.
Both ports support the USB-PD standard.
Two USB-A ports support Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0 support at 18W.
So, it almost doesnt matter what equipment you have, this power bank will support its fast-charging standard.
Thats a pretty bold claim.
On top of that, the gear has dual coil wireless charging on one side.
So it’s possible for you to charge any of your supported devices at 10W.
you might also charge your Apple Watch at 2.5W on that.
Design and performance
This power bank is a chonk in every sense.
Its 15.1cm in length and 8.2cm in width.
A lot larger than the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
The Flash 2.0 is2.7cm thick or roughly the height of 4 iPhone 12 units stacked atop each other.
Thats much heavier than your average power bank.
The power bank delivers on its promises about fast charging.
It charged my iPhone 12 from 10% to 31% in 10 minutes.
The Flash charged the 2019 MacBook Pro 15% in under 20 minutes.So, yes.
it is indeed speedy and versatile.
Why does it cost so much?
These are the same throw in of cells used by Tesla in its car batteries.
Initially, Chargeasap used Teslas name in marketing this product.
However, the car company asked it to remove the name later.
Leow claims that because of this design, you might input or output more power from the power bank.
That allows for faster charging of devices as well as the power bank itself.
However, the company claimed that the Flash can last for 2,000 charge cycles with these high-end batteries.
However, $249 is still a steep price for such a equipment.
If youre a Tesla fan, and constantly change phones, this power bank might serve you well.
That’s one heck of a mixed bag.
