Nowadays you can charge more and more devices using a USB connection. In the EU, USB-C is even mandatory for devices such as a smartphone, laptop, tablet, etc. If you also use such devices often on the road or country house, for example during camping, then a so-called Powerbank (external battery) is a great investment.
For an approaching vacation I was looking for a good powerbank that can not only charge my iPhone, but also my MacBook Pro. I came across the Belkin Boostcharge Pro 20,000 mAh Powerbank and seemed like an ideal travel companion. This has a maximum charging capacity of 65 W.
Belkin Boostcharge Pro 20,000 MAH Powerbank
Online and in the store you will find hundreds of external batteries in all shapes and sizes. If you like to look for a good with sufficient capacity, you would like to choose a reliable brand. Belkin has expanded their range of power banks in recent times and the BPB020 BoostCharge Pro 20,000 MAH laptopperbank is one of them.
Three gates, one super gate
The Belkin Powerbank is an external battery made from Lithium Polymer and is completely of this time. There is not only a USB-a-port available, but also two USB-C ports. All ports can supply power, but the load capacity depends on the connection.
With the help of one USB-C port you can charge a laptop with a maximum of 65 W. If you only use the USB-a port, it can tap the 18 W. Do you use all gates at the same time? Then the power is distributed by a maximum of 65 W in total (45 W via USB-C and 15 W via USB-A).
MacBook fast loading
The biggest advantage of this powerful power bank is the possibility to charge up to 65 W via one USB-C port. This makes the Belkin Powerbank suitable for charging your MacBook or other compatible laptops with fast charging function. For example, you can use a MacBook Pro (14 “M3) from 0-50% in just 42 minutes. For this you can use the supplied 60W USB-C/USB-C cable.
Digital color display
An external battery remains a boring product and in most cases they all look the same. Belkin has opted for a smart integration of a digital color display. No LED lights that indicate the status of the power bank, but a clear display.
This way you can see the battery status of the power bank at a glance via the digital color display. Easily view the remaining load and manage efficiently the electricity you need for all your devices.
Performance in practice
The Belkin BPB020 Powerbank has an internal battery with a guaranteed capacity of 19,200 mAh. The actual amount of electricity supplied can be lower and depends on circumstances and use.
If we assume an iPhone 16 Pro Max with a battery capacity of 4685 mAh, you would think that you could be charged 4 times 4 times (19,200/4,685). In practice, however, this is not the case, the process of charging and the internal components of the Powerbank also use the necessary mAh themselves.
In order not to come for a disappointment, it is wise to multiply the capacity of the device that you want to charge by 1.5. Then share the maximum capacity of the power bank by that of the device that wants to charge. In the case of the iPhone 16 Pro Max (4685MAH*1.5) you arrive at 7027mAh.
With a power bank of 19,200 mAh you will therefore be completed at 2.7x fully charging (20,000/7027mAh). That is a lot less than the theoretical value of 4x that would initially expect. The results can turn out more favorably per power bank and you can perhaps fully charge up to 3x. However, when you use the 1.5 rule you will never be faced with a surprise.
The Belkin Powerbank performs well during our tests, we could fully charge a completely empty iPhone 16 Pro 3x. In most cases, however, it will not always be completely empty if it starts to charge and you can use it more often. In addition, we were able to fully charge the MacBook Pro with M4 chip using the 20,000 MAH Powerbank from Belkin.
The digital color display is a handy addition, after all you will never be faced with surprises, because you can read exactly the status of the battery. This is much more convenient than four minimalist LED lights that give a suggestion.
