We tested the Xtorm Brick: the most versatile power bank on the market

Summer is coming, free time, field trips, vacations ... leisure time alone or in company increases considerably due to the good weather. Holidays are to disconnect, but there are many users whose dependence on technology is very high and cannot live without it at any time.

External batteries or power banks, which allow us to charge our iPhone or iPad wherever we are, have become a device that most of us always have at hand, to avoid the fateful moment when our smartphone turns off and we remain incommunicado How are we going to find out about the beginning of the zombie apocalypse?

But, as technology has advanced and the USB-C port has become a standard For many manufacturers, the performance of external batteries has also increased, at least among manufacturers who want to offer a plus to differentiate themselves from the rest.

The manufacturer Xtorm, of which we have already spoken on several occasions, offers us a wide range of external batteries, both for Apple Watch as for iPhone jointly, in the form of solar to charge our devices or a battery to be able to charge any device, as is the case we are talking about now.

Xtorm Power Bank Brick Versatility

The Xtorm AC Power Bank Brick 21.000 offers us a versatility that we will not find in other manufacturers, since it not only offers us the typical ports to charge our smartphone, tablet, drone, camera ... but it also has enough capacity to charge our laptop, thanks to the 21.000 mAh capacity that it integrates. As if that were not enough, it also integrates a plug into which we can plug practically any device that works with 220V as long as it does not require more than 80W.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, summer has arrived, and field trips are more than usual. If we do not want to run out of battery at any time in our devices or we want connect any device that works with 220V Thanks to the Xtorm Brick external battery we will be able to do it quickly, easily and very comfortably.

Xtorm Power Bank Brick Ports

1 USB-C input and output port (used to charge the external battery).
1 USB-A port compatible with Quick Charge 3.0 with an output power of 30W.
1 x 2.4A USB-A port
1 socket with an output power of 80W and 220V.

How the Xtorm Power Bank Brick works

Many are the users who habitually choose to buy external rechargeable batteries from any manufacturer, without taking into account at any time the quality of the product and the risks it may pose to your device.

The Xtorm Brick battery has an energy management system, which thanks to the APM chip, is in charge at all times of supply the energy required for operation or charging of the devices that we connect, thus adapting their charging speed, so that at no time can they heat up during the process.

When put into operation, the Xtorm Brick starts a fan which is responsible for keeping both the inside and the outside of the battery cooled at all times, thus preventing it from getting hot when you are using the 220V connector.

What can I plug into the Xtorm Power Bank Brick

Leaving aside that we can not only charge our iPhone, iPad, drone, camera through the USB-A and USB-C ports, through the plug we can connect the charger of our laptop to make a full charge of our equipment (thanks to the 80W power) or we can connect a television for when we are in the field and we want to watch a game, a fan, low consumption light bulbs ... any device that works with 220V but that do not exceed 80W power.

In the tests that I have carried out connecting a television, which has an approximate consumption of 45W, the Xtorm Brick has given me a duration of 3 hours, a more than reasonable duration for the battery capacity it offers us. Like most power banks on the market, this model offers us information about the capacity of the battery through a number, a number that represents the percentage of remaining battery, so we will not have to make any questions to be able to find out if the two leds that we have left will be enough for what we want to do.
