Portable multi-device chargers are consistently popular items for passengers, which provide the ability to keep your iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods, and in some cases other devices are charged while staying away from home. Alogic recently launched 21,000mAh 6 -in -1 Power Bank Things take one step forward, all of these chargers are paired with an integrated battery, which helps to charge your devices even while away from certain power.
I have been testing Rome for a few weeks, including a week-long multi-stop trip around the US, and I have found it an easy travel partner that works with some sacrifices.
Rome is essentially a fairly larger 21,000 mAh (77 WH) power bank equipped with various types of charging surfaces, ports and even an integrated USB-C cable that you are bringing with you on the road.
The whole thing turns downwards for a relatively compact rectangular body, but when you are ready to use it, the QI2 magnetic phone charging pads and apple watch charging puck swing swing up for the optimal positioning, as well as revealing a RESS CIESS to charge your airpods. If you need to charge more equipment such as iPad and/or Mac, then there is a small integrated USB-C cable that tucks on the edge of Rome, as well as a pair of USB-C ports on the rear.
The body of the ghost is primarily a matte black plastic that raises some fingers with time, with a band of aluminum around the edges.
As mentioned, the phone charger on Rome is a Magsef-Sangat QI2 charger, and it supports up to 15 watts of charging power for most recent iPhones of Apple. This iPhone is not quite sharp as a 25-wat magsef support launched on the 16 series, but it is very enough. In my test, Rome was able to increase an iPhone 16 Pro Max battery up to 50% within an hour, which I have seen with other QI2 Chargers. The folding pad works at any angle to about 90 degrees from flat to about 90 degrees against the rotating body, and it remains solidly in the position of thanks to the stress, which makes your phone convenient to charge in vertical or horizontal orientation, with the standby mode supported.
The QI2 Pad is detected after lifting the airpods charging surface, and it is a simple 5-watt Qi charging pad without magnetic alignment, but it works fine to charge wireless charging-capable airpods cases.
The Apple Watch Charging rotates behind the cook, and it is a matte black color that is well mixed with the rest of the surface of Rome, a pleasant deviation from typical white apple watch charging cooks that stand out visually. PUCK’s design supports nightstand mode for Apple Watch, but its placement behind the QI2 charger means that you will probably not be able to see it while charging many devices. The large screen standby functionality of iphoneion is better for night use.
A potential important defect for Apple Watch Charger is that it is not a sharp charger and only provides 2-watt charging. As a result, the battery of my Apple Watch Ultra 2 increased by about 25% in an hour only on the charger, when a sharp charger should be able to pay around 80% charge in the time. If you want to leave your watch on the charger overnight, it is a non-trick, but if you are someone like me who like to wear your watch overnight and usually try to get AA quick charge while sleeping, Rome will not be able to distribute on that front.
To charge other devices, the Roam has an integrated ~ 5-inch USB-C cable, which supports 100 watt charging power as well as two USB-C ports on the rear, one of which supports up to 100 watts and the other supports up to 18 watts. It is worth noting that Rome can provide a maximum of 100 watts output simultaneously, so you will only be able to maximize those 100-watt USB-C options if you have nothing else connected to the power bank, but you can still receive a decent amount with other equipment.
Rome supports input charging of 65 watts through either integrated cable or 100-watt USB-C port, and it took about 90 minutes to recharge Rome from 25% to 90%, before the things reached a full charge, it reached 97% after 120 minutes. If you are charging Roam via 100-watt USB-C port, other equipment is supported by passing, but if you are using integrated cables.
To help you monitor the charging state, there is a small LCD in Rome that shows a small LCD on that side reflects the current level of the internal battery of Rome, as well as some small green icons to provide information about charging input and output. There is also a power button behind the raum that helps you to turn on and close it and activate the passing, but the bank is automatically closed after a period of non-use to help limit the battery drain.
With its 21,000 mAh battery, which examines at 77 WH, is relaxed under the range of carrying Rome to an airplane, although this internal battery still brings with it a few weeks. Rome rotates in 606 grams or about 1.3 pounds.
It is a decent weight, but not improperly to toss a bag, backpack, or carry-on suitcase. Along with what I was carrying in my backpack on my journey, the weight of Rome was not worth noting, but if I was traveling lightly it would definitely be a difference. It measures 158 mm (6.2 in) x 82 mm (3.2 in) x 35 mm (1.4 in), so it is roughly the footprint of a Pro Max phone, but is quite thick and about three times heavier.
This wholesale and weight is the value you pay that you should be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be a reasonable amount of battery with you, but how much do you really really get 21,000 mAh? Alogic says that you should be able to charge a iphone 16 the four times by walking, and it seems to be about my observation of almost three times for a iphone 16 proio Max. The battery of iphone 16 Pro Max is only 4,685 mAh, so in principle you should be able to charge it four times with Rome, but you will not get much more than this due to power storage and disabilities in transfer. An apple watch and airpods do not require too much juice to clearly recharge, but if you want to charge big items like ipad or macbook from Rome, you are going to start getting out of electricity very quickly.
You may be able to get a full charge of 13 -inch MacBook Air out of it, but a 15 -inch model will definitely push it forward and any MacBook Pro will be reduced, and it is also not responsible for charging your Tophoneion and any other device from Rome.
Therefore, while Rome will be quite enough for the weekend travel from the grid with your small devices, it is not enough to keep the entire set of Apple portable products and run for more than one additional fee, if that. Although it would be very good that an iphone, ipad, macbook, macbook, apple watch, and airpods should be able to charge for days use, but the decrease is only the reality of how much power our equipment needs and they need to carry extra juice. As long as you know about the boundaries and keep your expectations in line, it can be a solid travel partner to keep your equipment running when you do not have a certain power ready.
Another idea to keep in mind is that the easy features of Rome add bulk, weight and cost to the overall package. If you want a nakebone power bank in the same capacity range, you can definitely find options that are very cheap, slightly smaller, and on the order of half weight, but you will need cables for each of your devices and possibly will not be able to charge many devices simultaneously as you can do with Rome. Rome is a premium product that offers convenience and travel simplicity, but if you are ready to pay slightly more and carry some extra weight, it may be worth the tradeoffs.
