UGREEN 145W Power Bank

At 90Wh, this sits comfortably under the 100Wh airline limit while still offering enough capacity to fully recharge a 13-inch MacBook Air in around 90 minutes, per UGREEN's own figures. As with any lithium power bank, real delivered charge runs somewhat below the rated 90Wh once conversion losses are factored in, though the gap is a normal characteristic of the category rather than a flaw specific to this unit.

The top USB-C port reaching 140W is the standout capability here, enough to fast-charge most current laptops including power-hungry models like a 16-inch MacBook Pro. The second USB-C port tops out at 65W, still enough for smaller laptops, tablets, or fast phone charging, and the USB-A port caps at 22.5W for older or legacy devices. Using two ports at once generally holds each port near its full rated wattage; using all three simultaneously drops the second USB-C and USB-A ports down to a shared 15W each, a meaningful reduction worth knowing before assuming all three ports run at full advertised speed together.

Two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, laid out along one edge of the metal housing. The single high-wattage USB-C port is clearly the priority port on this unit, intended for whatever device needs the most power at a given moment, typically a laptop, with the other two ports handling secondary devices at correspondingly lower wattages.

Input tops out at 65W via the primary USB-C port, with passthrough charging supported, meaning you can recharge the power bank itself while it simultaneously charges a connected device. A full recharge from empty takes approximately 2 hours using a 65W charger, a reasonable speed for this capacity class, though slower than the fastest units in the flagship tier.

The metal body construction is a genuine differentiator against the largely plastic-bodied competition at this price point, giving both a premium feel and better heat dissipation under sustained laptop-charging loads. The rubberised base keeps the unit stable on smooth surfaces, a small but genuinely useful detail for anyone using it as a de facto desk charger while working away from an outlet. At 513g, it's a substantial object, heavier than phone-focused power banks but reasonable for a unit built to replace a laptop charger.

Against the Anker Prime covered elsewhere on this site, this unit offers a similar top-port wattage (140W) at a lower total system output (145W vs 250W) and a lower price, without the Anker's real-time per-port wattage display or companion app. Against the Anker 737 (PowerCore 24K), also covered elsewhere on this site, this UGREEN unit offers a higher top-port wattage (140W vs 140W max but reached differently across the port configuration) and larger capacity (25,000mAh vs 24,000mAh) at a broadly similar price point; the practical choice between the two often comes down to brand preference and port configuration rather than a clear capability gap.

Anyone who wants to replace a laptop charger with a power bank. The 140W top port is a genuine laptop-charging speed, not a marketing number that falls apart in practice.

Photographers and videographers on location. UGREEN specifically markets this toward camera and drone battery charging alongside laptop use.

Desk-away-from-a-desk workers. The rubberised base and passthrough charging suit using this as a temporary desk charging hub.

Not for the most weight-conscious carry. At 513g, this is a genuinely heavy object to justify if you only need to charge a phone.

Not for anyone prioritizing a detailed real-time display or companion app. The Anker Prime's display and app ecosystem go further than this unit's simple battery-percentage LED.
