MagSafe Monday: UGREEN Nexode Power Bank Could Be the Ultimate 3-in-1 MagSafe Charger

The UGREEN Nexode Power Bank does something no other power bank does. This power bank is MagSafe compatible, supports Qi2, and can power up a MacBook Pro in less than an hour. If you’re looking for a single device that can charge your entire Apple setup at once for your next summer trip, this might be it. I use it almost daily.

MagSafe Monday: Every Monday, Bradley Chambers takes a look at the latest and greatest in the MagSafe wireless charging industry to help you get the most out of your Apple devices that support wireless charging.


UGREEN Nexode 20,000 mAh Power Bank

This isn’t your everyday MagSafe battery bank. With a 20,000 mAh battery and a massive 145W of power, it’s designed to charge anything in your bag or on your desk. It will charge your MacBook Pro, iPad and iPhone without problem. The C1 port alone can charge a MacBook Pro to 38% in just 30 minutes. This speed makes a huge difference when you’re near zero on a long day of travel or returning to your desk with a completely dead battery.

The wireless side isn’t just a simple add-on either. The top of the Nexode supports 15-watt fast wireless charging with full Qi2 support. It’s fantastic for use while traveling or in the office when you just want to drop your phone down and let it charge without fumbling for a cable. I would love to see Qi2.2 in future releases.

A color display shows the exact charging speed, currently active ports, and the device’s remaining battery life. This feature doesn’t seem interesting until you have it, and then you wonder how you ever lived without it. I almost forget sometimes that it’s a true portable battery because we leave it plugged in on our kitchen counter as a permanent charging station for the family.

3 in 1 charging solution

The UGREEN Nexode 20,000mAh Power Bank is more than just a battery. It’s part desktop charger, part MagSafe dock, and part travel power solution. It has two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, so you can plug in your laptop, iPad, and a Kindle at the same time. It’s the kind of product that deserves a permanent place in your backpack or on your nightstand because it can do so many things. I still have a few old USB-A devices lying around, but I don’t have many USB-A wall chargers anymore, so I really appreciate this old port. I honestly considered buying a second one just to keep it in my travel bag at all times.

  • Super fast charging: Charge a MacBook Pro to 38% in 30 minutes via the C1 port.
  • 15 Watt Wireless MagSafe: Qi2 certified and fully MagSafe compatible.
  • 20,000 mAh battery: Enough capacity to charge your iPhone several times.
  • Color display: Real-time battery information, charging status and estimated time remaining.
  • Three exits: Two USB-C ports and one USB-A port for charging up to three devices at the same time.

Summary on UGREEN Nexode Power Bank

The UGREEN Nexode 20,000 mAh Power Bank is perhaps the most powerful battery I’ve tested, and that’s exactly why I love it. The MagSafe charging is solid, the wired speeds are blazingly fast, and the smart display is very useful.

If you travel with an iPhone, iPad, and MacBook, this device checks every box as a travel or desktop charger. It’s not the lightest bag on the market and it certainly won’t fit in your pocket. However, if you’re trying to carry less gear this summer, this single battery could replace three separate chargers or simply serve as a permanent docking station. I love it.

You can pick it up on Amazon or directly from UGREEN.
