Thats one reason its easy to be attracted to power banks from Shargethis new one and past models.
They dabble in retro vibes with clear exteriors.
It doesnt matter that theres nothing too exciting to see inside.

The 170 model isn’t Sharge’s first translucent rodeo.
Its been making similar power banks and accessories for a while.
Ive enjoyed seeing how the USB ports connect to the board and other tidbits for some years.

On past Shargeek products, the company showed things like volts and internal temperature.
Those arent present here.
(Although it will alert you to abnormal temperatures or being overloaded.)

While those metrics are neat, I didnt miss them.
I still didnt miss those data points.
Everything is a little more simplified on the 170 too.
Unleash a total output of 170W with the cutting-edge PD3.1 charging tech. This portable charger boasts two high-speed USB-C and one USB-A port, perfect for charging up to three devices simultaneously. Both USB-C ports deliver a speedy 140W output, ensuring lightning-fast charging for two MacBook Pros at once.
Beyond the screen data, theres no DC input or output.
Only two USB-C ports for in or out and a single USB-A for output.
Its input tops out at 140W, however.
The only thing that gives me pause is the product’s roughly 1.5lb weight.
Around the house, the weight wasn’t an issue, but its power was still handy.
Is the Shargeek 170 Power Bank Worth Spending Money On?
I had trouble finding a unit around my house that could make theSharge Shargeek 170break a sweat.
All power banks should display their charging speeds.
This is truly a product that anyone, not only nerds, can appreciate.
Plus, on top of everything, its clear, transparent exterior just looks rad.
