We spent the past few weeks testing the BioLite Charge 100 Max Power Bank on some road trips and long times spent in hospital rooms and I'm impressed by its blend of power, portability, and flexibility. This sleek 25,000mAh charger packs a punch with two 100W USB-C PD ports, plus additional USB-C, USB-A, and MagSafe wireless charging options. It's surprisingly lightweight at just 1.3 lbs, making it ideal for travel and outdoor use. I found it charges laptops quickly and can easily handle multiple devices simultaneously. The LED display and intuitive operation combine to offer an excellent user experience that was as easy for me to use as it was my father in law! For those seeking a reliable, high-capacity power solution, there's more to uncover about this versatile powerbank.

So, honestly, I don't know how many of you are going to judge a power bank based on how well it works in a hospital environment, but it works really well. In fact, based on the performance there ... I know it's up to the task for any guys weekend you could possibly be planning. Specifically, other products that we've tried out with my father-in-law have failed because they either took too long to recharge, we lost the cables, or he couldn't reach them, or ... they fell on the ground, and he couldn't pick them up with a teacher. Others power banks didn't last once they hit the ground since they were made of cheap plastic.
The killer feature combo here is being able to wirelessly charge your phone or earbuds etc, a ruggedized exterior shell, and very fast recharging time.
I shouldn't be surprised, though. BioLite is known for this hallmark and their experience creating quality gear that lasts is one of the reasons I love the brand.
Key Features and Specifications
The first thing you notice after opening the box is that it is sleek and modern looking, fitting comfortably with today's phone sizes for easy stacking and carrying. This thoughtful design improves the user experience, making it a perfect companion for tech-savvy individuals on the go. Also, it feels like it's part of your lifestyle and not some high tech power user gadget.
An example of how this played out at home is that while I LOVE the tech features on a power bank that I use from Anker, Heather doesn't ... and I'm afraid to let Jim use it. This one from BioLite though ... Heather loves and we know her dad will have to struggle if he wants to try and break it :)
Secondly, its charging versatility is impressive. With two 100W USB-C PD ports, one 15W USB-C, one 15W USB-A, and a 15W MagSafe wireless charging deck, it's got all your devices covered.
Finally, the 25,000mAh capacity guarantees a prolonged user experience, keeping multiple devices charged throughout your day.
