Ultraprolink Juice-Up Pronto
The Juice-Up Pronto (UM1115BLK) is a 10000mAh powerbank that’s slim, light and essentially for me has good grip on its surface to hold. The 22.5W QC-PD-PPS powerbank lets you charge various devices (iPhones, Android phones, smart gadgets) at good speeds. Most devices charge upto 50% in around 30 mins (iPhones,Pixels, Samsung devices). Pass-Thru charging also lets you charge the powerbank while it's charging your device (saves time). Overall the powerbank charges in about 2 hrs with a high output wall charger. 2 x USB-A outputs, 1 x USB-C and 1 x Micro USB allow for multiple devices to be charged in case of emergency. The device also comes with multilayer protection against overcharging, heat and excess voltage. Good value and well priced.
