With smartphone batteries getting progressively worse, the capacities have exponentially increased, but we’d have never thought it would come to this, a monstrous 26,800 mAH battery packfrom ASUS that looks like a tower and has enough power to charge a laptop.

As you can see above, this power bank is massive, but also has a lot more forward looking features like a USB type C port and quick charging, making it much more useful for a wide variety of use cases.

There is a power button at the front and the ports are at the top of the power bank. On the other end is a torch, which might come in handy for sure. That’s about it for the design, which is minimal and without fuzz.
