Could a power bank be more than just a little paperweight with ports on it? Sharge is out to answer just this, with its innovative ultra compact power banks. Some of these are as small as a TWS headset's charging case, but carry enough charge to bail your phone or tablet out in crunch time. A unique design element with all Sharge products is their see-through polycarbonate bodies. The Starship Seer is a copper-colored portable charger that's about the size of a hockey puck, and packs a 10,000 mAh battery, with USB type-A and type-C outputs, along with support for 35 W USB-PD fast charging. It also has a little segment display on top that gives you discharging status, and doubles up as an alarm clock. If made to stay on its own with its fully charged 10,000 mAh battery, this thing might run a whole decade, if not more. Sharge is pricing this at $80. We also came across the keyfob sized Sharge Disk, an M.2-2230 NVMe SSD enclosure that can survive 6-foot drops, meets IP54 resistence, has an active cooling fan for the SSD, and offers a 10 Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface for the drive, along with UASP. Sharge is pricing this at $60.

The Sharge Internet Hostkey is a retro-futuristic looking power bank that comes in two variants, a 130 W-capable variant packing a 20,000 mAh battery; and a 40 W variant powered by a 10,000 mAh battery. You can charge up to 3 devices at once, with USB-PD of 135 W or 40 W, depending on the variant. It even has a retro-looking 7-segment display that reads out charging and date/time. The 130 W / 20 Ah variant is priced at $199, and the 40 W / 10 Ah variant at $99. Just be careful taking this thing through airports, it might not exactly look like a harmless power bank.



The Sharge Space Elevator is easily our favorite device from the lot. This puck-sized $49 power bank packs a 5,200 mAh battery, which can tank up an iPhone 15 Pro Max back to 100%, with 20 W USB-C charging. It snaps onto the phone thanks to its magnetized surface, although we'd have loved to see this being a Qi-certified wireless charging surface, so we could get rid of the cable. The Sharge Retro 35 GaN charger is a wall-wart designed to look like a Mac, and has a functional LED display that puts out power draw. It takes in 100-250 VAC, and puts out a USB type-C with 35 W fast charging. Sharge is pricing this one at $39.



The Shargeek 100 is a feature-packed airline safe power bank the size of a portable speaker. It packs a 25,600 mAh battery, and can charge up your ultraportable laptop or give your smartphone a couple of top-ups. The battery is wired to multiple USB, USB-C and 2-pin DC outputs, with a maximum power delivery of an impressive 100 W. A multi-color LCD display puts out several kinds of nerdy stats. Sharge is pricing this at $229. The Shargeek 170 is a slightly compact version of this with a higher 170 W power output, albeit with a smaller 24,000 mAh battery. You get the same information-rich display. This one goes for $199. And lastly, there's the Flow Mini, a film roll sized power bank that somehow crams a 5,000 mAh battery, and should tank up an iPhone 15 Pro Max at least up to 90%, priced at $39.

I need a 100W version of this, Sharge (formerly Shargeek). I have the 67W version (and the 35W Apple II-looking one) and it works really well. The wattage display is quite accurate (compared with a KM003C and Kasa EP25) and it doesn't get hot at all.
