A power bank that doubles as a torch
This model from Xtorm’s Rugged range combines two things people often pack separately: a 154 Wh energy reserve and a built-in light. On a building site, beside a trail or in the garage, you can top up a phone, tablet or laptop and then light your work with the same casing. The data sheet also lists a charge indicator, handy for judging whether there is enough left to last until evening.
Everyday and on-the-move uses
For private users
Hiking, a weekend in a motorhome, a power cut at home: the battery rescues a phone, a speaker or an e-reader, and the light saves rummaging for a torch in a drawer. Three outputs let you recharge several devices at once.
For professionals
Tradespeople, maintenance technicians and event crews like keeping a laptop or work tablet running far from a socket. Always check that the output power matches what the device you are charging needs.
Design and connections
The housing measures 135 x 68 x 87 mm and weighs 809 gr. It offers three outputs: one USB-C PD at 100 W, one USB-C PD at 20 W and one USB-A at 22.5 W. Charging goes through a USB-C PD input rated at 65 W. The data sheet states that the unit is waterproof but gives no protection rating, so do not submerge it and read the manual before leaving it in prolonged rain or spray.
Getting started and recharging
- Charge the bank before the first outing, using a USB-C charger suited to a 65 W input.
- Plug in your devices with good-quality cables rated for the power they draw.
- Keep an eye on the charge indicator so you can plan the next recharge.
For a demanding laptop use the 100 W output; keep the 20 W port for a phone or earbuds. Exact compatibility depends on each device.
What sets this model apart
- A 154 Wh capacity for several recharges of mobile gear.
- A 100 W output aimed at laptops and hungrier devices.
- Built-in lighting, which means one fewer accessory to carry.
- A 65 W input, meant for faster refilling than a small everyday charger.

Safety precautions
Do not exceed the stated power figures and do not cover the bank while it charges. Keep it away from heat sources and never leave it in a closed vehicle in full sun. If the casing is deformed or becomes unusually hot, stop using it. For air travel, ask the airline about the rules that apply to batteries of this capacity.
Care and storage
Clean the casing with a slightly damp cloth, then dry it, especially around the ports. Store the bank part-charged in a dry, temperate place, and top it up now and then if it sits idle for long.
