Whatever devices you carry with you, it's easy to run out of power and be stuck. Unless you have a spare battery or external charger! That's why the Mophie Powerstation Plus with built-in USB-C cable is so handy. 6000 mAh of battery in a slim device smaller than your phone, it'll keep you running for days.
Tech expert Dave Taylor of https://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ tried out the Mophie Powerstation Plus with a Google Pixel 4 XL and a MacBook Pro (sort of!) to see just how powerful the unit is...

On the go power for your USB C devices. Let's check this out
0:11
Dave Taylor here, and I'm looking at power sources again this time
0:15
I'm looking at something from Mophie now Mophie makes a huge number of power sources
0:19
So this is just a nice addition to their lineup. This is the Mophie power station plus
0:26
USB-c and you look at it and you're like, okay There's a ton of devices that look like this
0:32
But where Mophie gets it right is it has a built-in USB cable
0:38
So when you're ready to charge something like for example Google pixel 4xl, which has USB plug it in
0:46
push the button on the side that also gives you your status update and
0:51
You are charging and rocking and rolling so it is a 6,000 milliamp hour battery, which is roughly double the battery capacity of the pixel and probably of your phone, too
1:03
So it gives you plenty of power. It also has digital power management
1:07
So it does smart things like when your device is charged. It should actually stop charging it further
1:13
It also has in addition to the built-in USB C cable on the top. It has a USB 3
1:20
Connection to so you can charge two devices at once or you can charge a different device if it's not actually using
1:27
USB-c easy enough. What's really nice about this is it's an 18 watt fast charger
1:33
So if you have a device that supports that like the pixel 4 and you can see here it says fast charging
1:40
This thing did rock and roll. So I charge this 52% in one hour off of this device
1:48
Which means that for example if you have a really long day at work or you're at a trade show or conference or something
1:54
You can hook these together You can leave it in your pocket or your backpack or your purse and then when you're done with lunch
2:01
Take it out and you got a whole nother probably another five or six hours of power ready to roll with your phone
2:07
So really nice now you charge it with USB-c and there's a little tiny plug on the top and you plug that into any source power
2:18
Ideally something plugged into the wall So it has decent wattage, but if not, you can plug it into your computer in the box
2:24
it also includes that cable not very exciting but useful and That's pretty much the whole thing. It has this particular one is the copper color
2:34
So the front is that nice brushed metal and the back is more of a sort of rubberized pure
2:42
Material so it feels very rugged It feels like it's gonna last a long time and again just as a size comparison
2:49
you can see that my pixel 4xl is significantly larger and about the same thickness as
2:57
This little device. So I thought hmm USB-c let's see what happens if I plug it in and try to use it to power up my Mac
3:06
So that's kind of interesting because the Mac sees it as a power source
3:10
But then when I went into system info as you can see, it's like 18 watts. That's not enough to charge this device
3:17
So I don't think this is any secret powers. They don't say that it can charge your laptop either
3:23
But for a tablet maybe for a drone for any device that uses
3:28
USB-c and is you know, okay with a relatively small amount of wattage 18 watts is great for a phone
3:35
Not very much for a laptop or for one of those nice two and ones or something like that
3:40
But for its intended purpose as a mobile charger for mobile devices
3:44
I gotta say this is really nice and has a really nice hand feel to it
3:48
So only thing left to talk about is the price and before we get there
3:52
Let me ask if you can subscribe to my channel. I'm a straight shooter
3:56
I tell you things as they are I'm totally honest and if someone sends me something that's not good
4:02
I will tell you that it's not good and I'll tell you why so you want to subscribe right click that button sweet
4:08
Now this let's see This is the Mophie power station plus with and of course is super important built-in
4:17
USB-c wire super handy, right so they have a whole bunch of these with different types of connections
4:22
I also have a lot of lightning ones for iPhones. They make micro USB
4:27
They make ones that have multiple cables built in all super helpful
4:31
But this is the Mophie power station plus with USB-c and it will cost you
4:38
$79.95 at zag.com now that might seem a little spendy But the first time that you're actually at your trade show or at school or you're at the club and your phone dies
4:48
And you really wish you had power you will realize that's a pretty smart
4:53
$79.95 investment so I say check it out never run out of power manage your power and
5:00
With that I am gonna finish charging up my phone, which means I'll catch you in my next video
5:18
