It’s time to cover another portable powerbank solution! This time around, this portable powerbank gives you a bit more than just fast charging USB ports. How would you like a powerbank with two fast charging USB ports, a two-way barrel port for charging in both directions, and a 3-prong outlet ready for any small appliance you have on-hand? Enter the Omnicharge Omni 20, a smart powerbank that stopped us in our tracks at CES 2017. The Omnicharge Omni 20 is chock full of hardware features and even houses an LCD screen, giving you a full play-by-play of its status. Let’s review the Omni 20!
The Omnicharge Omni 20 is a 20400mAh powerhouse that can power and charge three devices simultaneously whilst charging itself from an external power source. The Omni 20 charges itself via the two-way barrel port. The three-device charge is only possible if the power outbound from the Omni 20 doesn’t exceed the peak output of 105W. While it’s on, you can keep tabs on the Omni 20 via its LCD screen. Through this screen you can track battery status, temperature levels, inbound and outbound power flow, and time estimates of how long the Omni 20 will last during its current task.
Built-in Saftey Features
In case you start to get too creative with your power demands, the Omni 20 has a bevy of safety features to protect the lifespans of both your devices and the Omni 20 itself. With Charging Overflow Protection and Charging Circuit Protection, the Omni 20 automatically disconnects and protects itself from power sources that do not meet its safety parameters. With AC/USB Outlet Protection and Voltage Underflow/ Overflow Protection, the Omni 20 will automatically disconnect from your charging devices when output levels do not match with requirements, in case of voltage overflow to said devices, or when the Omni 20’s battery is depleted.
