Zender

The batteries, depending on the design, should not be an exciting subject. When we talk about bricks, you are connected to a smartphone of a thousand dollars with huge amounts of literally explosive chemical energy, “excitement” is not usually a word you want to hear. Therefore, I will not call the new SUPTTANK battery from exciting Zendure, although it can spit 100 watts of power on the USB Type-C, with almost the perfect device compatibility, exceptional performance, all at a very reasonable price. a little A little sexy.

Specifications

Goodness

Not very good

Zendure launches this battery both A8PD Pro and Supertank. Because I am the best name for numbers, I will use the latter throughout this review.

Design, devices, what is in the box

Supertank looks slightly ridiculous, and this is not about it. The unnecessary long lines in its plastic faces remember the rolling luggage. According to any criteria, this is not a beautiful product – but it is a battery, it does not have to be.

All its ports along the upper face. Smack in the middle of the upper side is a luminous percentage indicator, run by a button in the upper half of the front. To the left and right of this screen is the four ports, one of each (type A and Type-C) on both sides. The Type-C 100W port is used on the left for both shipping and output, while the Type-C 60W port on the right is only intended for output. The maximum total production across all outlets at any time is 138W.

Other faces of the battery are not counterfeit, rescue the front and background design, organizational information/specifications below.

In addition to the general aesthetic, other things that I did not like about the material design of the battery are its largest thickness of the average and the screen that flashes during the charging. It is not bright in a hateful way, but it is at this level where it can keep you awake in the hotel room.

The unit that you received did not come with them, but Supertank will include 100 Watt USB to the Cable C, the fabric bag, and the hands.

Measures and tests

The rates advertised at the 100W port (left), and 60W port (right).

The results of our bench seats were measured by the new exciting USB connection test, STECI USB Type-C Meter, Intek Power Meter, ETekCity Laser Themeter, and Avhzy Ct-2 USB Meter, as required. Power is provided, when necessary, by Zendure’s Superport 4.

I had one hiccup in my tests, and that was with my new USB power delivery test. Initially, I refused to withdraw the maximum amperage/wattage from the battery, over and over 60 watts, but subsequent tests had no such problem, and I could not reproduce the problem later. To a large extent, this was the only main hiccup in my test, the battery has exceeded all expectations.

The voltage versus the current, from 0 to 5a in 20 volts, 50ma step. This is very rough, and the only battery failure.

In more anecdotal tests, the battery is charged barely All I threw it-the only exception was OnePlus Bullets V2, which was only able to charge using a type A cable to Type-C. With C-TO-C, they could not withdraw power, even in low-energy “X-Charge” mode. It is also shipped with a full 100 watts without a problem when tested using a meter using the Superport 4 100W charger from Zendure. (Although we did not do a full review of this charger, it was a good performance in our tests, if you need a 100W charger.)

Perhaps the only inconsistent behavior was his accidental failure to discover that I just connected it to a device, although clicking on the button to withdraw the current charging level was always enough to fix things.

The maximum I can measure for a real device (15 “MacBook Pro). Don’t do it at home, it’s the way out of the meter specifications.

It is worth noting that the battery passes what I like to call Pixelbook test. Chromebooks first party devices of Google especially It is difficult to satisfy it when it comes to when and how they will accept power, and follow a very strict interpretation of energy delivery specifications. Usually, if something is working with Pixelbook without any strange behavior, it will work with almost anything, and deal with Supertant well.

Efficiency was not very bad. Zendure designs the battery in the hair under the maximum air in the general recognized United States (glory to them even to provide the WH classification, and most of the original equipment manufacturers no). In my tests that were discharged at 5V 1.5A, the battery provided 72.13wh, making it effective about 72 %. Zendure told me that efficiency is “more than 80 %” on the final device.

Should you buy one?

YesCertainly. This is the first battery in long The time you managed to do so with sincerity, or recommending without reservation. If you can overlook the really ugly Samsonite luggage design, this is the best 27,000 mAh battery that we tested at all, the best performance battery regardless of the capacity, and the first clear option for high -border applications. That is why we give it the most required prize.

With 100 watts of strength, it is effective in the future. You will not buy a laptop that needs more than a lot of juice any time soon, and it was widely compatible with even the most abbreviated devices. Four total outputs are also more than you usually see in the batteries of this capacity. Besides fiery charging and supporting low power devices, the set of features exceed those you can get.

Most people do not excite enthusiasts for energy accessories, but Zendure’s Supertank should be an exception. He may have started Cracle Cake Starter, but he was actually delivered to his promises. There are not many competitors, but even the next Hyperjuice 100W and AlSterplus are not completely compared – the latter is believed to have an additional USB axis functions to distinguish between him, the first is faded, both of which cost more than the suffocating.

This is the best battery we know that you can buy it now.

Purchase it if:

• You are planning to charge high -level devices.

• You need the best 27,000 mAh battery you can get.

• The aesthetic of miniature luggage does not bother you.

Do not buy it if:

• In the first place, you will charge low devices.

• It is very ugly for your sensitivity.

Where to buy:

Supertank, unfortunately, is not available for immediate purchase. At the time of writing this report, this can only be requested through the company’s website, although you can still disable it for the same price of $ 100 as Kickstarter. However, it is scheduled to increase to $ 149 at a later time, so don’t think about it also long.

• Zendure

You can also purchase it with the Superport 4 100W charger for 29 % of the aesthetics, or $ 148 (the discount was applied when going out).
