Shargeek 170 review

The Shargeek 170 is the only bank on our list with a published water resistance rating, IP66, which matters for anyone charging on a ferry deck or a rainy platform. Sharge rates it at 170W max output, with up to 140W on each of its two USB-C ports and 30W on USB-A, so a large laptop can charge at full speed. Its 140W input refills the 24,000mAh (86.4Wh) battery from 0% to 50% in 20 minutes, according to Sharge, without needing two chargers. A smart display sits behind the transparent prism shell, and Sharge lists over-voltage, overheat and short-circuit protection. The trade-offs are weight, at 680 g, and power sharing: Sharge lists 165W for both USB-C ports together and 163W with all three ports in use. Sharge's store showed us a sale price that did not match its US catalog price, so we have marked the price as pending until we can confirm the US figure.
