This is the Baseus 65 watt ,20000 mAh power bank.
It’s got a LED digital display, PD 3.0 and QC 3.0 support.
Two ways of charging up the powerbank, and three outputs.
And last but not least a 20,000 mAh capacity.
Price is marked at 12K+ via iBhejo, but i picked it up for half the price on Ibhejo itself. It’s being sold at a premium on Amazon.in, prices keep changing so keep an eye on it before purchasing.
Opening up the box, we have a warranty card and a manual.
And here’s the power bank itself, wow, the metallic blue looks quite nice. The case is made of aluminum alloy in a matte finish, which explains the weight of around 460 grams and the body is also used to dissipate heat.
We have 65 watt marked here, this is the maximum output it can provide via the USB-C port. So you can also charge thin and light laptops which use a 65 watt power adapter, via this power bank.
This is the display.
We have a Baseus logo on the side.
These are the ports, type-c first which is both input and output. So charge the powerbank or other devices via this port.
The max 65 watt output is via this port.
Micro-usb input and alternate method to charge the powerbank, USB-2 and usb-1 output only max 30 watts via Qualcomm’s quick charge standard.
We have a power button on the side. Tap to enable the power-bank.
The display blinks 38, which indicates the current battery level of the powerbank.
Also included in the box, is a usb-c to usb-c cable.
Let’s use it to charge up my galaxy fold 4. Simple usb-c to usb-c connection, and the phone is super fast charging.
You don’t need to tap on the power-button when connecting to a device, the power-bank turns on automatically.
I have tons of power banks and none can super fast charge, most of them top at fast charging only. The phone supports max 25 watt fast charging , the s22 ultra supports 45 watt fast charging so this power bank would have no problems.
We can check the power output stats via the display, we have first the battery level, and we can see that the “out” LCD is lit up as it’s discharging.
Tap the power button again and we can see the output voltage which is at 9.6, 9.7 volts. Current is at 1.5 amps. Tap the power button to cycle through the stats.
The display turns off after a few seconds to prevent battery drain, by accidentally turning the display on. This option is great as it prevents battery drain, say, it activated in a backpack, or in a drawer where it is kept for future use during an outage or while travel.
It’s a bit hefty at 460 grams.
I wouldn’t consider it pocketable, but it’s easy to slip into a backpack.
Here’s the Steam Deck,
if it doesn’t receive enough power it generally displays a message like so,
but this power bank has no problems powering the steam deck.
Let’s connect a charger. I’m using a 40 watt charger which came bundled with the steam deck, and it’s fast charging the power bank. No charger is included with the power bank, so you will need to use the one that came with your phone.
Input voltage is 19.9 vols and current is at 2 amps. The powerbank can be topped up in around 2 hours if you use a high wattage charger.
I purchased this power bank as it looked like a great option to keep my phones and other devices charged up and importantly keep my steam deck running for longer.
It kept the steam deck charged up, but it did get hot after 30 minutes, but the steam deck stayed at the same level.
It keeps my fold 4 charged up when traveling and it promises around 2 and a half times top up, as the fold 4 has a 4400 mAh battery.
The BPS II tech keeps the charging devices and the power-bank safe from overheating and overcurrent.
You can charge upto three devices at a time, but the power output changes as per how many are connected.
Single port outputs, we get 65 watts off max of the usb-c port, and each usb-a port can output 30 watts.
Charging, the micro-usp port only supports 18 watts, but the usb-c port supports upto 60 watt charging.
If a usb-a port is connected with another device on the usb-c port, the power output off the usb-c port drops to 45 watts and the usb-a port outputs only 18 watts. If two usb-a ports are used each can output only 7.5 watts.
And if three output ports are used the power drops to 20 watts on usb-c and 5 watts on each usb-a port.
The powerbank looks so nice, the metallic blue colour looks really cool. The powerbank is also available in black.
Baseus has been in the market for years, especially for their gan or gallium nitride chargers, which are quite small, but can charge up your power hungry gadgets quite easily.
Being able to output upto 65 watts, we can charge most thin and light laptops which generally top out at around 45 watts. Macbooks chargers can go upto 100 watts so you might be able to trickle charge them, if you’re not running anything taxing.
Tablets, phones and even handheld game consoles like the nintendo switch and even the steamdeck which most users who have one, would be looking for a good powerbank to extend their play time on the move. It works like a charm.
For emergency charging during your weekend getaway, vacation or even camping, this moderately sized powerbank should help keep your devices topped up. I even top up my wireless mics while charging my phone, and with three charging ports, it’s so convenient.
Airports security will have no problems with this charger as it’s way under the max 100 watt hour battery size. Micro-usb charging is available but with most gadgets moving to usb-c, having the older usb port as a backup is still great. But charging via this port is slow.
Overall, it’s a great charger, but do note it’s not officially available in India, so warranty might not apply.
I would guarantee recommend it as a backup power source, especially if you travel a lot. Links are available in the description, if you would like to pick one up for yourselves.
