Until recently, choosing an external battery meant making some rather annoying compromises: either you bought a compact magnetic battery pack for your phone that barely gave you one and a half charges, or you carried around a heavy "brick" of cables capable of reviving a laptop, but useless for attaching to the back of your phone. UGREEN has decided to eradicate this dilemma with the UGREEN Nexode Magnetic Wireless Power Bank, a 20.000 mAh, 145W hybrid device that combines the best of both worlds in a single chassis.
This battery isn't aiming to be the lightest in your pocket, but rather the most versatile in your backpack. Designed for both Apple users with the MagSafe ecosystem and those who work on the go with USB-C laptops, its main appeal lies in combining the new 15W Qi wireless certification with wired power capable of fully charging a MacBook Pro.
145W power and Qi2 wireless charging: Key specifications
What differentiates this Nexode model from other alternatives on the market is the distribution of its internal power and the inclusion of state-of-the-art technologies:
- 15W Qi2 magnetic charging: Unlike traditional Qi chargers limited to 7,5W, this module is Qi2 certified. It offers firm magnetic alignment (compatible with MagSafe on iPhone 12 to 16) and doubles the wireless charging speed without generating excessive heat.
- Up to 100W per USB-C port: Its main C1 port delivers a single output of up to 100W Power Delivery, allowing you to charge demanding laptops (MacBook Pro, Dell XPS, Lenovo ThinkPad) or portable consoles like Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally.
- Combined power of 145W: It allows you to charge up to four devices simultaneously using its two USB-C ports, USB-A port and the magnetic top stand, intelligently distributing power without interruption.
- Capacity of 20.000 mAh (72Wh): It provides enough power to charge a modern smartphone four to five times or fully charge a 14-inch laptop. It strictly complies with international aviation regulations (IATA), so it can be taken on board an aircraft without any issues.
- Real-time TFT display: Say goodbye to the inaccurate four-point LED display. It now features a color panel that shows the exact percentage of remaining battery life, output voltage, current, and instantaneous wattage consumption of each port.
User experience: Is it worth it in everyday use?
In real-world use, the UGREEN Nexode 145W excels at solving cable clutter on makeshift desks, in cafes, or on trains. Arriving at a meeting, placing your phone on the magnetic charging pad while connecting your laptop via USB-C, and watching the TFT screen as the system manages over 100W in real time provides complete peace of mind.
Although its 555 grams of weight make it not an accessory to carry in your pants pocket with your phone attached while walking, its magnetic grip is perfect for leaving both devices joined on the table without the risk of them disconnecting if someone trips over the surface.
In terms of safety, UGREEN has implemented its 13-layer protection architecture with Thermal Guard technology , monitoring the temperature more than 200 times per second to prevent overheating when its 145W is pushed to the limit.
Price and where to buy
With a retail price of €149,99, the UGREEN Nexode Magnetic 20000mAh 145W is positioned as a well-rounded investment for digital nomads, content creators, and frequent travelers looking to unify their chargers into a single portable power station.
