Review: BioLite Charge 100 Max Power Bank

Running out of power sucks, especially in the outdoors. BioLite’s burly power bank can charge up to five devices at once from its massive 25,000 mAh battery. It takes 1.5 hours to pull a full charge out of a standard AC outlet. It weighs 1 pound 4.8 ounces, and it fits in every backpack pocket we tried.

This is meant for outdoor use, which means it’s built tough. Despite its rugged exterior, it has built-in wireless charging, so you can simply set a phone on top of it and top off its charge without extra hassle.

The outputs include the following: 2x 100 W USB C-PD; 1x 15W USB-C; 1x 15W USB-A; 15W magnetic wireless.

Here’s a look at the main charging ports.

There are lighter power banks out there, but if you want enough juice to fully charge a larger device like a tablet or even a laptop, you’ll be glad to have the extra capacity. BioLite has a very solid reputation for building rock-solid outdoor electronics and the BioLite Charge 100 Max lives up to that heritage. How else are you going to ensure that you can send a Tik Tok from the tippy top of your next mountain ascent?
