Our verdict
A tiny, well-built unit for USB devices and small electronics. The 120W AC inverter and Li-ion cells make it a charger, not a power station.
Best for: Ultralight trips charging phones, cameras and a small laptop.
What we like
- 5 lb
- Strong USB-C PD output for its size
Where it falls short
- 120W AC output runs almost nothing with a plug
- ~500 cycles, 2-year warranty
