The market is full of portable chargers and it might be hard to choose one. I’ve been looking for a compact and travel-friendly charger that would have good charging speeds and the one made by Xcentz is a great option.
UNBOXING
The powerbank ships in a plain white box and inside of it, you get some paperwork and two cables: one with USB-C connectors at both ends and another with the USB-C to USB-A cable.
DESIGN and FEATURES
The very first thing you are going to notice is the size. Honestly, it’s hard to believe that Xcentz managed to squeeze in a 10000mAh battery in such a small package. It’s worth noting that this powerbank uses high-quality LG 21700 battery cells meaning they will last you a long time. The company claims that the device can withstand 500 charge/recharge cycles and still hold over 90% of juice, which is really impressive.
On the front, we have LED lights that indicate the capacity left in the battery. We also have the power switch.
On the top, there is the USB-C port with the PD support. That means it’s capable of providing 18w of power output for fast charging of your devices.
I’ve tested fast charging feature with quite a few devices including the Samsung Galaxy S10+ and it works fine.
On the bottom, there is the USB-A port that supports Quick Charge 3.0.
The overall design and build are really nice. The device is well-constructed and it has a rubberized plastic finish that is nice to the touch.
The overall performance of the power bank has been really good. We never had any issues charging other devices and this might be the best performing compact powerbank we’ve tested in recent memory.
CONCLUSIONS
Even though there are plenty of options out there, the Xcentz 10000mAh is one of our favorites thanks to its ridiculously compact design meaning the device is perfect for traveling.
In addition, the USB-C with 18W PD and QC 3.0 technologies make the Xcentz powerbank a really compelling option.
Overall, the Xcentz powerbank is a very solid 10000mAh powerbank that we can easily recommend for travelers or anyone who likes a decent amount of juice in a compact package.
