Our verdict

The Nexode 100W is the rational laptop pack. It gives a laptop the 100W it needs, refills itself in about 1.6 hours, and includes the 5A cable that makes the headline real, all at a mid-tier price. Its only traps are the ones shared by every pack in its class: the wrong port and the wrong cable both quietly halve its speed. Buy it, use the right port and the included cable, and it simply works.

What we like

  • 100W max output from the primary USB-C port, with a 5A cable included for full-speed laptop charging
  • 65W input refills the pack in about 1.6 hours, per the listing, far faster than old 18W bricks
  • Digital display keeps remaining capacity visible without a companion app
  • Second USB-C port at up to 30W and a 22.5W USB-A port cover a phone and earbuds beside the laptop

What to watch out for

  • Only the first USB-C port reaches 100W, so plugging the laptop into the wrong port quietly halves its charge rate
  • A regular 3A USB-C cable caps laptop charging at 60W, which buyers blame on the pack before the cable
  • At 20,000mAh it is still a bag pack, and it will not fully refill a large laptop battery from empty

What owners report: UGREEN UGREEN Nexode 100W Power Bank 20,000mAh

Synthesized from recurring themes in long-term owner feedback.

Most praised

  • Buyers call out the included 100W cable as the detail that makes the headline wattage real on day one
  • It revives a laptop on a layover fast enough that the airport outlet hunt stops mattering
  • The display plus the slim-for-20,000mAh body makes it the pack owners actually carry daily

Common complaints

  • Plugging into the second USB-C port by mistake and getting slow charging is a recurring owner story
  • Using an older cable from a drawer silently limits the laptop charge and confuses first-time users
  • It runs warm during sustained 100W output, which owners notice when it sits against a leg in a bag

Who it is for

Laptop owners on a budget who want 100W charging without paying flagship prices.

The included cable is the feature

UGREEN states plainly that laptop charging needs its included 100W cable, and that honesty is the pack's best feature. A regular 3A cable caps the same port at 60W, and owners of other packs discover that limit only after blaming the pack. Here the cable ships in the box, the port is labelled, and the display confirms the draw, so the full 100W is available on day one rather than after a support thread.

Refill speed that fits a workday

A 65W input refilling 20,000mAh in about 1.6 hours changes how the pack is used: it can recharge over lunch or between meetings instead of monopolising an outlet overnight. That matters more than it sounds, because a pack that is always ready gets carried, while a pack that is always charging gets left behind. The second USB-C port at 30W and the 22.5W USB-A port keep a phone and earbuds fed beside the laptop.

Where 100W stops being enough

For slim laptops and tablets, 100W is full speed. For large performance laptops under load, it is a sustain charge that slows battery drain rather than reversing it quickly. The pack is also a bag item at 20,000mAh, and it will not fully refill a big laptop battery from empty. Buyers with a 16-inch workstation should step up to the 140W class; everyone else is well served here.

Questions, answered

Which port charges a laptop at 100W?

USB-C1, the primary port. The second USB-C port tops out at 30W, so a laptop plugged into the wrong port charges at less than a third of the headline speed. Use the first port and the included 100W cable for laptop charging.

How long does it take to recharge the pack itself?

About 1.6 hours on a 65W charger, per the listing. A smaller charger refills it proportionally slower, and a 100W charger will not speed it past its 65W input limit.

Can it charge a phone and a laptop at the same time?

Yes, with three ports available. The laptop keeps its 100W on USB-C1 while a phone charges on the second port or the USB-A port, though total output is shared and the phone's port wattage is capped at 30W or 22.5W respectively.
