Despite the evergrowing battery capacities of smartphones, power banks continue to undoubtedly be a highly important accessory especially for the travel freaks out there. But while smartphones have managed to gain ultrafast charging tech sometimes reaching 120W, power banks have continued to take hours to fill up.

A start-up called Elecjet spotted the dilemma and recently kickstarted a crowdfunding campaign with a promise of bringing a 100W power bank to the market (via PhoneArena). This campaign has now turned out to be rather successful, gathering over $157,905 – an amount that’s a massive 1580% of its original goal.

Moving on to the Elecjet Apollo Ultra Power Bank itself, its main highlight is its ability to hit 100% in just 27 minutes from 0%, which is quite impressive for its 10,000mAh capacity. This has been made possible by the use of graphene batteries that allow charging at 100W.

Another highlight feature is its weight. At just 230g and with a size comparable to most smartphones, it is indeed an ideal travel companion. Safety and longevity aren’t to be bothered about either as the power bank is claimed to never exceed 43°C, and lasts over 2,500 charging cycles or almost 7 years of daily use!

The power bank even comes with a nifty little digital display that shows its current battery percentage. In addition to that, the Elecjet Apollo Ultra can also handle the task of charging multiple devices at the same time. And if that’s not enough, you can even fill the power bank while it’s charging a device, which can come in handy if your power outlet is clogged with too many devices.

The Indiegogo campaign still has 10 days left to run, giving you ample time to grab the Apollo Ultra power bank for $69 (retail price is $100) and receive $10 back during the post-campaign survey. There’s also a bundle costing $139 that includes the power bank, a USB-C to USB-C cable, and an Elecjet GaN 120W Charger.

The startup expects to start shipping the product next month. For more details, head over to the official Indiegogo page for the Elecjet Apollo Ultra Power Bank.
