Xtorm Wave, never run out of battery in your devices

There are many portable batteries, so sometimes the choice is not easy given the huge offer. Key points to consider are: size, capacity, ports, wireless charging, and design. If we demand that a good mark is obtained in all the key points We already narrow the search a lot, and if we also ask for a reasonable price, the search becomes complicated.

Today we tested a base that meets all those characteristics and also goes through all of them with a good note: Xtorm Wave, a «powerbank» with which you will not have to worry to always have enough battery on all your devices.

Size and layout

Aluminum and textile, that is the finish of this external battery to which you can put few hits. The finishes are very good, and it clearly marks the difference with other "cheap" options.. The upper part has a rubber "+" in the central area with which your iPhone will not slide when placed to recharge wirelessly. Its weight is 258gr, 50% heavier than the iPhone X, it is not intended to be carried in your pocket (although you can) but rather in a bag. On one of the sides it has an on / off button and LEDs that show the remaining charge. As you can see in the image, it is smaller than an iPhone X, but thicker.

Capacity and ports

It is therefore a large battery, as it cannot be otherwise if we consider that has a capacity of 8.000 mAh. That's more than enough to recharge your iPhone multiple times, or multiple iPhones, even many tablets. In addition, the possibility of recharging several devices simultaneously exists thanks to its multiple ports and its power output.

Two 2A USB-A ports and one 2A USB-C ports They will allow you to recharge your iPhone quickly, not as if you were using the MacBook charger or another charger compatible with Power Delivery, but more quickly than with the conventional iPhone charger. The USB-C port also serves to recharge the battery, or you can use the microUSB connector on the side, you decide. In the box you will find a USB-A to USB-C cable.

We cannot forget one of its main features: wireless charging. Complying with the Qi standard, the Wave external battery allows you to recharge any compatible device, including the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X, as well as the next models that Apple is about to launch. You can place your smartphone on top and take advantage of its 10W to quickly recharge your smartphone, or in the case of the iPhone up to 7,5W. You won't suffer from overheating problems or anything like that, so you can rest easy. You can even use it as a multiple charger on the office desk, since while the battery itself recharges, the devices connected to it will also recharge.
