Amazon Slashes Price on a 145W, 25,000mAh Laptop Power Bank

Amazon is selling the Ugreen Nexode 25,000mAh, 145W power bank for $69 (regularly $109). The USB‑C port can deliver up to 140W, enough to charge a 16‑inch MacBook Pro from 0% to about 56% in 30 minutes, with a total 145W available across all ports. It recharges in ~2 hours from a 65W PD charger, includes a digital remaining‑capacity display, and supports bi‑directional charging for multiple devices. Priced well below typical $90–$150 pricing for similar units, it’s unclear how long the discount will last.

Solid-state power bank shakes up portable charging with safety-first design

ZDNET reviews BMX SolidSafe 5K, a 5,000 mAh wireless power bank that uses solid-state cells to reduce flammability compared with lithium-ion. It supports up to 15W wireless charging via Qi2, includes a USB-C port with 20W output/15W input, and offers pass-through charging, plus a built-in USB-C–to–USB-C cable in the included lanyard and a clear power display. Priced at $79.99, it’s more expensive than typical packs, but advocates safety and future solid-state adoption—though lithium-ion’s low cost and high energy density mean solid-state isn’t poised to replace it yet. The reviewer even notes a controlled safety test where the pack emitted smoke when punctured, underscoring cautious handling.)
