Sharge Shargeek 170 Review — The Only Power Bank You Need

There is no denying that the power bank market is very saturated. So, how do you bring something that is different than what others are offering not just in terms of look but in terms of performance as well? You don’t. What you can do, however, is to build up on the foundation laid by other great brands and offer something that can stand head-to-head with the greats and this is where the Shargeek 170 comes in. This is one of the best power banks I have used in a long time and in many ways, it might as well be the only power bank you are ever going to need. But is it enough for you? That’s what we are going to find out.

The Shargeek 170 charges all your devices at once thanks to a 170W total output

Now, the Shargeek 170’s biggest selling point is that it is capable of outputting 170W, but that is its total output. Technically, the power bank can use all three of its ports to output that much power. To make things easier for you, you can look at the diagram provided by Sharge below, which explains how the total 170W can be achieved:

Now, this might disappoint some, but honestly, I think this is more than enough. I was charging my HP Envy 13, my Galaxy S24 Ultra, and my Sony WF-1000XM5 all at the same time and I did not run into any issues. There’s no point for this power bank to output 170W from the same port. Speaking of power, the Shargeek 170 comes with 24,000 mAh capacity, which is more than enough, to be honest. If you are someone who travels a lot, this power bank is a fitting companion.

The Shargeek 170 comes in standard packaging, which makes you wonder if there are a lot of accessories in the box. I am not complaining; I love the big and bold box that manages to get the message across that this power bank is a big boy and for all the right reasons, but I would have preferred a couple more cables and a shorter cable – making it for a more accessible carrying. It is also one of the best-looking power banks out in the market, which might be subjective, but this one will surely make people take a glimpse or two.

Unboxing the Shargeek 170 is as easy as it can get, to be honest. There are no fancy tabs that you need to pull or any complicated processes to go through. Just cut the seals at the bottom, lift off the top and you are good to go. The power bank is nice and securely packaged, so you can be sure that you are not going to run into any issues if you order it. Sharge has made sure that the packaging is secure. Speaking of packaging, this is what you get when you unbox the power bank.

This is the most standard accessory package that I have seen. You get a nice, flexible, and braided USB Type-C to Type-C cable, an instructions manual that you will most likely not read, and a carrying pouch, which I think is important considering how big the power bank is and how it is basically a fingerprint magnet thanks to being completely transparent, which is a really cool touch. Now, the Shargeek 170 is not the first power bank to go transparent. There are a number of other power banks that have done the same thing, but the execution here is really good, and I really like the display on the front.

The Shargeek 170 is a big boy; the last power bank I used was the Anker Powercore, and compared to that, it’s an absolute monster. Looking closely at the power bank, I can tell that not a lot of space has gone to waste. How big is it? I’ll let the pictures do the justice.

This power bank weighs around 680 grams without any power cable attached to it, which is just a little less than how much three Galaxy S24 Ultras are going to weigh. However, at no point do you feel that you need to give your hand a rest. Is the Shargeek 170 ideal for your sling bag? Nope, I would advise that this power bank goes in your tech backpack, considering how much power it can deliver, the weight, and the size of this thing. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that it is a bad thing that this power bank is big. I mean, it has a really cool design, water resistance of IP66, and a display. Oh, not to forget, it’s airline-safe, as well. So, you will not have to think twice if you are taking it on a long flight.

Speaking of the display, I think it is one of the most underrated features that you can find on any power bank. The one on the Shargeek 170 is bright and colorful enough to let you know all the stats that you want to read without any issues. Once I was done unboxing the power bank, I quickly plugged it in, and I was happy that the power bank actually charges at 140W. More importantly, you can even use the pass-through which allows you to charge your power bank using a power brick and charge your device using the power bank. It works wonders and without any issues.

It is more than safe to say that the Shargeek 170 is unapologetically big and bold, and while that might be an issue for someone, I do believe that this power bank has an excellent place in a tech backpack. I mean, there is nothing that this thing cannot charge. You can even charge your ROG Ally and Steam Deck with it, which goes to show the extent of how useful this power bank is.

It helped me charge all three of my devices without any issues. I did run into some problems with my HP Envy, where the output would fluctuate, but after restarting the laptop and plugging the cable back in, it started working just fine. It worked flawlessly with my Galaxy S24 Ultra as well as my Sony WF-1000XM5 and charged them without any issues.

I have been on the hunt for a good power bank for some time now, and the Shargeek 170 is definitely something that I am happy with. Not only is it the best-looking power bank on the market, but it also delivers everything that you could want in a power bank and more. Yes, the clear shell attracts a lot of fingerprints, but other than that, you are not going to have any issues with performance. Oh, it also charges really fast, thanks to its 140W input. This simply is the only power bank I am going to need.

The Sharge 170 is one of the best power banks I have used. Not only is it the coolest-looking in the market, but also charges really fast at 140W, offers 170W of total output, is waterproof, and can easily be carried in your backpack without any issues.
