Introduction

Recently, ChargerLAB got an Airbox, a foldable wireless charging station from MOMAX, which is currently the first foldable power bank on the market. Let's have a detailed review.

It looks a little bit large in hand.

Protocols

Review of MOMAX Airbox Charging Station(A Foldable Power Bank)-Chargerlab

The ChargerLAB POWER-Z KM002C finds that the USB-C port supports AFC, QC3.0 and PD3.0 charging protocols.

Compatibility Test

ChargerLAB will use tens of devices for compatibility testing to present readers with the most accurate data.

It is 9.01V 2.16A 19.42W when the USB-C port supporting 20W fast charging is charging the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Here comes the charging compatibility test of MOMAX Airbox. The Apple devices can be charged at the maximum power level.

ChargerLAB's histogram shows the charging power of each product directly. The Apple devices have the highest power.

Simultaneous Charging and Discharging Test

Let's test whether the MOMAX Airbox supports simultaneous charging and discharging.

The test shows that it can be charged through the USB-C port while charging an iPhone wirelessly, working normally. It supports simultaneous charging and discharging.

Remove the phone and place the Apple Watch on the station, and it is tested to charge normally.

The AirPods Pro can also be charged in the wireless charging area.

The AirPods Pro and Apple Watch can be charged wirelessly at the same time.

Lastly, the iPhone, AirPods Pro and Apple Watch can also be charged wirelessly simultaneously.

Full Self-charging Test

Since the Airbox can be used as a power bank, we had a full self-charging test, using the Apple 20W charger to charge it.

Review of MOMAX Airbox Charging Station(A Foldable Power Bank)-Chargerlab

The input power was about 18W before 55 minutes. The charging ended at 2 hours and 10 minutes with a maximum power of 8.66V 2.11A 18.31W.

Output Efficiency Test

Output efficiency is an important factor of the power bank. The efficiency in different outputs is different. The higher the efficiency, the higher the conversion rate, and the lower heat. 

Review of MOMAX Airbox Charging Station(A Foldable Power Bank)-Chargerlab

First, let the power bank output at 5V3A 15W continuously and end at 1 hour and 32 minutes. The actual battery energy discharged is about 24.4424Wh, so the efficiency at 5V3A 15W power output is about 24.4424/38=64.32%.

Review of MOMAX Airbox Charging Station(A Foldable Power Bank)-Chargerlab

Then, make the power bank output at 9V2.22A 20W and end at 51 minutes. The actual battery energy discharged is about 17.105Wh, so the efficiency at 9V2.22A 20W power output is about 17.105/38=45.01%.

The output efficiency test is to make the Airbox be in a limit state. The output power will not continue at a 15W and 20W output and will inevitably decrease with the increase of phone power. So the above output efficiency is for reference only. The output efficiency in daily use will be higher than in the test.

Temperature Test

The MOMAX Airbox has two modes of unfolding and closing, so the temperature will be tested separately in two conditions.

We'll put it into a 25°C thermotank throughout the test and let it run for half an hour with the power of 9V2.22A 20W.

Review of MOMAX Airbox Charging Station(A Foldable Power Bank)-Chargerlab

When closed, the maximum temperature of the power bank's surface was 63.4℃ (146.12℉) after half an hour.

Review of MOMAX Airbox Charging Station(A Foldable Power Bank)-Chargerlab

After turning it over, the maximum temperature of the power bank's surface was 48.5℃ (119.3℉).

Review of MOMAX Airbox Charging Station(A Foldable Power Bank)-Chargerlab

When unfolded, the maximum temperature of the power bank's surface was 61.9℃ (143.42℉) after half an hour.

Review of MOMAX Airbox Charging Station(A Foldable Power Bank)-Chargerlab

After turning it over, the maximum temperature of the power bank's surface was 56.3℃ (133.34℉).

Just like the output efficiency test, in daily use, the temperature will be lower than in the test.

Summary of ChargerLAB

The MOMAX Airbox, a foldable wireless charging station, is currently the first foldable power bank on the market. The Airbox charging station supports both wired and wireless charging, saving your tangled wires, mismatched and bulky chargers.

The USB-C port supports AFC, QC3.0 and PD3.0 charging protocols and two fixed PDOs of 5V2.4A and 9V2.22A.

It supports simultaneous charging and discharging. And the iPhone, AirPods Pro and Apple Watch can also be charged wirelessly simultaneously.
