Power You Can Watch, the SHARGEEK 170 Power Bank Makes High-Speed Laptop Charging Visible

Laptop users who spend hours away from wall outlets know the moment when the battery percentage starts dropping faster than expected. A reliable power bank helps, yet most hide what is actually happening inside. The SHARGEEK 170, priced at $109.90 (was $170), changes that by letting you see the process while delivering the kind of power modern laptops actually need.

The prism-shaped transparent body is the first thing you notice when you open it: the see-through case allows you to see the the battery cells, the circuit boards, and the bright digital display nestled away at the end. As the light hits it, the internal arrangement is visible; no need to raise the lid, and there’s something thoughtful about the shape; it’s not simply a practical design, after all, as it’s a quality build that should resist being carried around in a backpack or put into a briefcase.

What what makes that digital display valuable is the amount of information it can provide at a look. You’ll see the power flow in watts, the remaining battery percentage, and an estimate of how long it will be till the power is either full or running out. When you connect a laptop, the numbers change in real time, so you can determine right away if the connection is delivering a steady charge or a trickle of power. That fast input eliminates much of the guesswork associated with using most portable chargers.

Then you put it to the actual test, like charging a laptop using the device. Each of the two USB-C connections can take 140 watts thanks to the newest Power Delivery standard. So a 16-inch MacBook Pro or something like should be able to take power at the same rate as the original adaptor, with no slowdowns. Overall, the ports have a combined power output of 170 watts, so one can keep a laptop running while the other and the USB-A port charge a phone and a tablet simultaneously.

When you have a powerful charger on hand, recharging the device takes no time. With 140 watts in, it returns to full power in roughly 45 minutes. That quick recovery period means it’ll be ready to go right away, rather than languishing at a desk for half the day. Pass-through charging also works, allowing you to power a laptop while also topping up the unit if necessary. This power bank has an IP66 classification, which means it can survive typical abuse such as dust and water splashes, which are common whether on the road or working outside. It also includes a durable 240-watt USB-C cord and a handy pouch to keep everything organized.
