How do you think about power bank? For me, power bank is one of the essential items. Nowadays, most of you spend several hours on smartphones. If your smartphone runs out of battery outdoors, power bank is the best solution for you. I got OUTXE W20 IP67 Waterproof Wireless Solar Power Bank several days ago, which performance is surprising me. So, let’s check out the OUTXE W20 Power Bank.
Unboxing:
The power bank ships with some practical accessories include a manual, a 7W mini solar charger, a dual-port wall charger, a weatherproof protective carrying bag, a Micro USB charging cable, a Type-C charging cable, five safety locks and two hanging straps.
Design:
I was shocked by the OUTXE W20 Power Bank when I saw it firstly. The power bank comes with premium material, which is solider than all power banks I have ever seen. And it is also the heaviest power bank I have ever used. It is a cool power bank with almost all-black color and red.
On the front side, there is a lightning logo in the middle, which is a wireless charging output. Smartphones can be charged if you place devices center onto the lightning logo. The power button is placed on the above of the lightning logo, and there are six LED indicators beside it. The first five LED lights are the battery indicators, and the last LED light is the solar panel charging or wireless charging indicator. Between the power button and the lightning logo, there is the OUTXE logo with red color, which is standing out.
Why is it called Solar Power Bank? Look at the rear side. There is a solar panel on the backside, acting as an emergency backup once your power bank is running out of battery. It is amazing that the solar panel will charge the power bank automatically if you put it under direct sunlight.
The OUTXE claims that the W20 power bank is designed with IP67 rating for waterproof and dustproof. I totally believe it because of the firm waterproof lid placed on the top of the power bank. The waterproof lid is not easy to open, that is the most important reason for me to trust its waterproof and dustproof rating. Under the lid, there is a smart USB output and a quick charge output.
On the left side of the OUTXE W20 power bank, there is a Type-C input and Micro USB input covered by a firm waterproof lid.
There is a LED light on the bottom of the power bank, which comes with three modes.
The OUTXE W20 power bank ships with four protective rubber cushion with red color.
Capacity:
OUTXE aims to position the W20 power bank as the best outdoor power bank for modern travelers. In my opinion, the most important thing for an outdoor power bank is the battery capacity. I don’t disappoint about the battery capacity of the OUTXE W20. The W20 power bank comes with 20000mAh battery capacity, which is enough for charging your devices for several times.
Performance:
As mentioned above, the W20 power bank comes with dual outputs ports, which can charge for two devices at the same time. When using both outputs simultaneously, the maximum power of the power bank will be limited within 24W to control the temperature of the product. The security mechanism is necessary for the large capacity power bank.
What’s more, with the dual input ports, the power bank supports a fastest possible recharging rate around 6.5 hours. By the way, my own power bank, which comes with 10000mAh battery and one input port, takes about 10 hours for fully charged.
In the test, I use the OUTXE W20 Power Bank to charge Realme 3 and Realme X at the same time. Let’s check out.
Realme 3 — 3% to 26% — charge for 30 minutes
Realme X — 2% to 28% — charge for 30 minutes
The charging speed is fast, and it is very handy for charging two devices at the same time.
In addition, I use it to charge iPhone XS Max with wireless charging mode.
iPhone XS Max — 61% to 72% — charge for 30 minutes
The OUTXE W20 power bank supports three charging outputs at the same time. Although the charging speed is not so fast at this mode, it can charge for three devices! I think it is very good for those who own several smart devices.
Conclusion:
OUTXE W20 is a safe, handy and portable outdoor power bank, which is definitely suitable for modern travelers. I really like the OUTXE W20 power bank, except its heavyweight. But as its market positioning and multi-features, I can understand that.
The power bank now is put on the kickstarter. If you are interested in it, you can click here to get more information and support it.
