Chinese power bank brand SHARGE has announced two more products for the local market, coincidentally with the same asking price. That being said, they both have different things to offer to potential customers. Where one of them – the Shargeek 140 – is a straightforward high-capacity power bank, the other – the SHARGE Pouch – is a power bank that comes with its own charging plug.
Starting with the former, the Shargeek 140 is a sizeable 20,000 mAh battery pack with a 140W maximum output, as the name suggests. While you can’t have its full power charging a single device, you can charge two devices at a time with one device taking up to 100W output, and the other getting 40W. It’s probably safe to think of this as being a tier below the Shargeek 170, and with a more standard shape for easier packing and transporting.
Then comes the SHARGE Pouch, which the brand claims to be a “3-in-1 solution of power bank, charger, and cable”. The cable in question is the USB-C cable used to charge other devices, which can also double as a carrying strap. One segment of the product serves the charging plug you pop into wall sockets. By default it uses the US two-pronged plug, but the company says it provides adapters for just about every other market. The power bank itself is a 10,000 mAh pack, supporting 55W charging via OPPO’s SuperVOOC standard, or a more mainstream 40W PD.
As mentioned, both are already available for purchase, and at the same retail price, which is RM899. That being said, SHARGE says that if you buy either between 8PM of 24 February and 5 April, you can get RM300 off. The promo is more visible on its official stores on Shopee and Lazada, but the company says the same offer is extended to its own official store.
