The compuer industry has, for years, been in an arms race against itself. Laptops, specifically. Manufacturers pack higher and higher capacity lithium-ion batteries into their laptops, only to increase performance with more advanced CPUs, GPUs, and displays. As battery capacity goes up, demands by more power-hungry components use more power.

All these years after the laptop displaced the desktop as the primary computer format for most people, it’s still hard to get an entire day’s worth of use out of a laptop without a power outlet nearby. If you have a big day ahead of you, what you really need is a power bank. And not just a regular one used for smartphones. That doesn’t have enough juice. You need something with 20000mAh of battery capacity or more like the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-Port Laptop Power Bank 20K.

what to know about the Belkin BoostCharge Pro Power Bank 20K

The Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-Port Laptop Power Bank 20K has a battery capacity of 20000mAh, which means it possesses two to four times the capacity of a typical power bank, such as the Belkin BoostCharge 10K Power Bank. You can use it for charging phones, tablets, or almost anything that uses USB-A and USB-C cable for charging, but it’s really meant for charging laptops.

What we like and don’t like

Fairly compact for its 20,000mAh capacity

Fast 65W maximum charging speed

Two USB-C ports and one USB-A ports makes it versatile

Screen shows exact charge level, plus charging speed per connected device

Awfully big screen for such basic information

Only one USB-C-to-USB-C included

Cable is nice, but not as nice as braided cable on 10,000mAh version

How i tested the Belkin BoostCharge Pro Power Bank 20K

Normally I’m a stay-at-home guy when it comes to writing during the workday. There aren’t all that many days where I’m part........
