Over the years, I’ve tested my fair share of portable battery packs and desk docks.Most of them fall into two categories: slim and convenient or bulky and powerful.The UGREEN Nexode Power Bank manages to be both.
It’s MagSafe compatible, supports Qi2, and has enough power to top off a MacBook Pro in less than an hour.If you’re looking for one device that can charge your whole Apple setup at once, this might be the one.I use it daily.

With a 20000mAh battery and 145W output, it’s built to charge everything.It’ll charge your MacBook Pro, iPad, and iPhone without blinking.The C1 port alone can charge a MacBook Pro to 38% in only 30 minutes.
That speed makes a real difference when you’re near zero on a travel day or coming back to your desk with 2% power.The wireless side isn’t an add-on either.The top of the Nexode supports 15W wireless charging with Qi2 support.
It’s great for travel or desk use when you just want to leave your phone.A full-color display shows charging speed, which ports are currently active, and how much battery life you’ve got left.This feature doesn’t sound exciting until you have it, and then you wonder how you lived without it.
I almost forget it’s an actual battery at times.We leave it plugged up most of the time on our kitchen counter.Some of my favorite gear Aqara Smart Lock U50 Upgrade your doors with Apple Home Key and the Aqara U50.
3-in-1 Charging Solution The UGREEN Nexode Power Bank 20000mAh isn’t just a battery.It’s your desktop charger, wireless dock, and travel power solution all in one.It has 2 USB-C ports and 1 USB-A port so that you can plug in your MacBook, iPad, and Nintendo Switch or Kindle simultaneously.
It’s the product that earns a permanent spot in your backpack, desk, or nightstand because it can do so much.For whatever reason, I still have some USB-A devices, but I also don’t have many USB-A chargers left, so I love this functionality.I’ve half considered buying another one of these simply for my travel bag.

It’s not the lightest pack out there and it won’t fit in a pocket, but if you’re trying to carry less gear, this one battery could replace three chargers or simply be used as a desk charger.I absolutely love it.You can grab it on Amazon or directly from UGREEN.
