Powerhouse on a Budget: CUKTECH No.10 10,000 & 150W PD3.1 Power Bank

Introduction

High-performance, futuristic PD3.1 power banks have always been a focal point for us at ChargerLAB, as they not only significantly enhance the charging time of our electronic devices but also showcase the boundaries of power-related products. About a year ago, CUKTECH introduced the CUKTECH No.30 PD3.1 Power Bank, boasting a whopping capacity of up to 40,000 mAh and a total output power of up to 300W. Since then, they have continued to release models such as the No.20 and No.15, all of which have been widely praised.

However, this raises a question: if you want to enjoy the high-spec power banks produced by CUKTECH without breaking the bank, what can you choose? Well, on February 10, CUKTECH unveiled a cost-effective PD3.1 power bank - the No.10, with a single-port maximum output of up to 130W and a capacity of 10,000mAh; all of this comes at a price of just $59.99! Let's delve deeper into it.

High-end electronic products often come with a matching high-end appearance, and the CUKTECH No.10 is no exception. Its cylindrical silver-black design, similar to the No.20 and No.15, exudes a futuristic vibe. Both the output panel and the back are covered with specially designed textures, allowing it to be stably placed on a desktop or in hand to prevent accidental drops. Like other models, its silver area also utilizes V0-grade fire-retardant materials, which are skin-friendly.

In terms of performance, the CUKTECH No.10 10,000 & 150W PD3.1 Power Bank supports PD3.1 100W output power; in real-world usage, this translates to 100W for laptops, up to 27W for iPhones, 45W for Samsung Galaxy devices, 65W for ROG Ally, and 100W for Legion Go! However, it's worth noting that due to its 10,000mAh capacity, it can only charge the iPhone 15 Pro Max 1.3 times, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 1.4 times, or the 16-inch MacBook Pro 0.3 times, respectively.

However, 100W is not its maximum potential. When paired with the latest Xiaomi flagships such as the Xiaomi 13 Pro, its maximum single-port output can reach an astonishing 130W! This means it can fully charge the Xiaomi 13 Pro in just 19 minutes! A similar maximum output power can also be found on other Xiaomi and Redmi phones, all thanks to the built-in Xiaomi HyperCharge protocol support.

When it comes to multi-port charging, the CUKTECH No.10 10,000 & 150W PD3.1 Power Bank is equally powerful. Specifically, it can provide up to 120W+33W for Xiaomi phones and another device; if you don't have a Xiaomi phone, it can still provide 100W+33W to laptop users.

In terms of input, its bidirectional USB-C fast charging port has a maximum input power of 90W, which can charge itself to 55% in just 15 minutes, enough to fully charge an iPhone 15 once. Additionally, considering that not many people have PD3.1 high-spec cables, CUKTECH has thoughtfully included a 240W 6A fast charging cable to maximize the power bank's potential.

Besides performance, the biggest feature of the CUKTECH No.10 10,000 & 150W PD3.1 Power Bank is its built-in Smart TFT Display, which provides essential factors like voltage, current, power output, as well as the remaining duration for both charging and discharging. Just like a lite version of ChargerLAB POWER-Z KM003C.

Last but not least, safety. It comes with temperature protection, short circuit protection, overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, overcharge protection, and other measures, ensuring worry-free safety. Additionally, its battery cells use the same 21700 cells as Tesla, providing top-notch build quality and safety.

Summary of ChargerLAB

The CUKTECH No.10 10,000 & 150W PD3.1 Power Bank is a compelling proposition for anyone seeking a balance between high performance and affordability. This compact powerhouse packs a punch with its 100W (and up to 130W for Xiaomi devices) single-port output, making it perfect for rapidly charging your latest laptops, smartphones, and tablets.

However, for extended trips or powering multiple laptops simultaneously, consider its bigger siblings, the No.15 or No.30, for added capacity and versatility.
