MAXOAK Portable Laptop Charger,26756mAh/99Wh Portable Power Station W/1x120V AC Outlet PD 45W USB-C Solar Generator Battery Backup Power Supply for Home Emergency Outdoor Camping(TSA-Approved)

The media could not be loaded. I was sitting on my porch recently watching a thunderstorm roll in. And as the wind swept rains furiously blew the trees back & forth, I realized how reliant we are on our utility companies to keep the power on, uninterrupted.As a company, MAXOAK obsesses over creating products so their customers are never left in the dark. And their Bluetti AC10 100W Travel Power Bank is no exception. Designed to be the highest capacity TSA approved AC outlet power bank, the AC10 will charge your laptop, smartphone, bluetooth speakers, headphones, drones, and all of your personal portable electronic equipment.After spending some time evaluating the Bluetti AC10 & comparing it to other power banks, the AC10 quickly outshined the competition offering superior design, functionality, & performance.Design:At 2.75 pounds, 7.1 x 3.9 x 2.3 inches, the Bluetti AC10 is built like a rock from a durability perspective. I didn't drop it in my testing but I was pretty confident I could without any detrimental effects to the unit. The black anodized aluminum shell and push-button controls are both utilitarian and stylish.Functionality:As the highest capacity TSA approved AC outlet power bank, the Bluetti AC10 can be included in a carry-on bag and provide power for your electronic devices via its (2) standard usb ports & (1) type C fast charging port. In addition, the AC10 sports an AC120V/100W (peak power 140W) output for AC powered devices. You won't find this feature and large battery capacity while being TSA approved on other comparable powerbanks!Performance:The Bluetti AC10 had no trouble charging my cell phone, the kid's electronic devices & even other powerbanks with the usb charging ports. And the 100W/140W peak output 120V/AC power port on the AC10, an unheard feature with other powerbanks in its class, easily powered my laptop, an Xbox video game system, a fan, & even a 32" TV!Conclusion:The MAXOAK Bluetti AC10 100W Travel Power Bank is in a league of its own. From its two standard usb ports, type C fast charging port, AC power port, and possessing the highest capacity TSA approved 120V/AC unit on the market, the Bluetti AC10 has no equal among its competitors!

It's made by a well-known-ish brand in the battery "generator" space -- go Google it. With that in mind, it's not surprising then that the build quality is good. With its 99Wh capacity, it's just under the 100Wh TSA max limit for carry-on. I appreciate that the AC outlet accommodates the ground pin--some competing batteries do not. I would have preferred that the USB-C PD output be 65W rather than just 45W, but it's serviceable to juice up mobile devices and or your lower-power 13" or 14" laptop while in use. I also take it in my camera bag when I'm out doing some shorter video and photo work.As others have noted, it's pretty chunky, so pay attention to the dimensions. I would have preferred that it be flatter, so that it would fit in backpacks better; but I won't ding it for it. The included LED light is super bright and is useful. However, in my unit, the button that toggles the battery between off/USB power/AC power tends to get somewhat stuck, and it can take a couple of presses to do the toggle. Still, I'm okay with it. And for clarity, it's possible to power devices via the USB-A, USB-C PD, and AC outlet all at once.2023-04-20 Update: After bringing it along for several dozen photos/video events, it's proven its worth. But I would note that the power button juts out, so accidentally placing face down (vertically) it on a hard flat surface can cause the battery to be "on" and thus slowly drain even if nothing is plugged in. I found it drained a couple of times because of this, and luckily I had time to charge it up before my shoots. Just something to be aware of.

Based upon the title: "Maxoak AC Outlet Portable Laptop Charger," one might think this would be perfect for charging laptops via the standard laptop electrical AC plug. I am no so sure. Upon initial purchase, when I plugged my Surface Book 3 charger into the Maxoak AC outlet, and then also into the laptop, it created a scary buzzing sound. (The charger did not make the same electrical buzzing noise when plugged into other standard AC outlets in my office). I contacted the seller. who ask I send a video of the problem. Afterwards, they sent a replacement. The replacement Maxoak Laptop Charger also made some buzzing sound (albeit not as loud). I believe I read in the Maxoak manual that it is recommended to charge some electronics with the USB C charging option, which fortunately, can be done with the Surface Book 3. For clarity, I have no evidence that the buzzing sound is harmful. But laptops can be expensive. Also. I don't want to run the risk of generating a charger fire on a plane (or anywhere else), or harming my laptop. Going forward, I will preferentially charge my laptop via the Maxoak USB C option, and only sparingly use the Maxoak AC plug charging option. The point of this review is this. If you hear a buzzing noise on the brick portion of your laptop charger when it is plugged into the Maxoak Laptop Charger Power Bank AC outlet and your laptop, then you are not alone. Finally, this charger will not work with a laptop powered by a 230 W charger, such as a Lenovo P50 laptop. Given how much effort was made to disclose how Maxoak was specifically designed to be less than 100W, I probably should have known this.
