Foremost traditional battery manufacturer Duracell has signposted its presence in the power bank segment with the unveiling of two nice-looking power banks. Both Duracell battery-themed power banks look like huge Duracell batteries. The two new Duracell power banks are the M150 with a built-in MagSafe charger and the M250 rated at 60,000mAh battery capacity.
The M150 power bank weighs 816g and has a
capacity of 25,000mAh. Duracell claims the M150 has enough juice to fully charge
a smartphone six times or a laptop once. There are two USB-C ports on the M150.
The USB-C ports deliver 100W and 60W charging respectively. In addition, there
are two USB-A ports each rated to deliver 18W charging. The Duracell M150 also
features a Qi charging pad with an integrated magnetic ring at the top. You can
charge the M150 via USB-C @ 60W or using a wireless charging dock.
The Duracell M250 has a capacity of
60,000mAh or 216Wh. It has a similar port architecture as the M150 and weighs
about 2kg. It has a large ring LED that can be used to illuminate the
surroundings with the press of a button. The M250 offers up to 100W charging
and has storage space for another charger.
As per pricing, the Duracell M150 power
bank is priced at US$ 199 in the US while the M250 has a US$ 299 price tag. Duracell
has not provided the performance optics of the M250 but expectedly it will more
