At the bottom of the Powerstation 3XL, there are two USB-C ports, one for plugging into USB-C accessories like the MacBook Air or MacBook, and one for charging the power bank with a USB-C cable. You can tell the two ports apart by a little line and a lightning bolt that indicates which side is used for which. I have nothing negative to say about the Powerstation 3XL itself. It's heavy and a bit bulky, but that's to be expected from a charger with such a high capacity. It's well made, I love the grippy fabric covering, and it charged up all of my devices flawlessly. The Mophie powerstation mini measures 5.12 inches long by 2.68 inches wide by 0.43 inches tall (68 x 130 x 11mm) when resting on a flat surface and weighs only 0.3193 lb. iPhones that support fast charging include the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, X, XS, XS Max, and XR. With these phones, when charging with the USB-C to Lightning cable, you can get a 50 percent charge in just a half hour.There's also a USB-A port next to the USB-C charging port so you can also charge USB-A accessories. In total, you can charge one device using the USB-C port and one device using the USB-A port at once, and if you plug in a USB-C cable and a power adapter, you can charge the Powerstation and your devices with passthrough charging. The Mophie powerstation mini also features Multo-Charging, allowing users to charge multiple devices at once.

Mophie powerstation mini Review – Powerful 5,000mAh Power Bank

Mophie includes a USB-C to USB-C cable for connecting to your MacBook or other USB-C device, and a USB-C to USB-A cable, which is for charging the Powerstation 3XL.Though designed for the MacBook and MacBook Air, you can use the Powerstation 3XL to provide a bit of extra juice for a 13 or 15-inch MacBook Pro, but as these are higher-capacity devices that use 61 and 85W power sources, respectively, the 26,000 capacity won't go as far nor will charging be as fast. At 45W, the Powerstation 3XL provides more than enough power to charge up a MacBook Air or a MacBook at a fast charging speed. Both the MacBook Air and MacBook ship with 30W power adapters from Apple for charging purposes. For the record, at 45W, the Powerstation 3XL also offers faster charging than the 18W USB-C power supply that ships with the iPad Pro. Using the standard adapter, my iPad Pro charged from dead to 45 percent in an hour, but with the Powerstation it got up to 66 percent during the same time period.

With the MacBook the Powerstation 3XL offers more than double the battery life, and while I don't have a MacBook Air to test, it too should be able to charge to full via the Powerstation. You can charge an iPhone or an iPad a few times over as well, so this is a great device to have on hand for travel and other situations where you need a lot of battery life.Capacity wise, a single 26,000mAh charge was enough to charge my MacBook from 0 to 100, my iPad mini from 0 to 100, and my iPhone X from dead to 56 percent, so there's a good amount of power there for dealing with multiple devices that need to be charged up. Though not provided, if you combine the Mophie Powerstation 3XL with a USB-C to Lightning cable from Apple (and Apple is the only manufacturer of these cables at the current time), you can use the accessory to fast charge a compatible iPhone. This way you can always know how much power your powerstation mini has left before you need to recharge it once again. COMPATIBILITY The power bank’s built-in 5,000mAh battery provides all of devices with a huge boost of extra power, allowing you to talk, play, and browse until you have no energy left, literally! This 5,000mAh portable power is compact and lightweight, and its small enough to easily fit in your bag (even in the smallest pouches or tote bags), making it extremely convenient to have around.
