"Sharge has made a name for itself amongst the tech-obsessed with chargers and power banks featuring eye-catching designs and extra functionality. Power bank feature creep is more often than not a bad thing, but Sharge is unabashedly leaning into the trend with its new Shargeek 300. We first went hands on with it over a year ago at CES 2025, but the power bank is finally available for preorder."
"As the name implies, the Shargeek 300's total output is 300W which is shared across two USB-C ports, a USB-A port, and a barrel-style DC port. Both USB-C ports can output up to 140W letting you simultaneously charge two power-hungry laptops while a third device pulls 20W from the USB-A port. The output of the DC port can be adjusted from as little as 25W up to 140W."
"There's also two cutaway sections, protected by transparent plastic windows, revealing some of the power bank's electronics and a 1.9-inch screen on one side, and the batteries on the other. You can use the screen to monitor the battery's charge level, power output, temperature, and adjust the DC output voltage. The exposed interior is also illuminated with RGB LEDs whose color, brightness, and function can be customized using the display."
Shargeek 300 is a 24,000 mAh power bank delivering a combined 300W output across two USB-C ports, a USB-A port, and a barrel-style DC port. The battery can be fully recharged in 75 minutes using a 140W charger. Each USB-C port can supply up to 140W, the USB-A port provides 20W, and the DC port is adjustable between 25W and 140W. The device uses a lightweight aluminum alloy frame and shell for heat dissipation and includes two transparent cutaways exposing electronics and batteries. A 1.9-inch screen reports charge level, power output, and temperature, and controls DC voltage and RGB lighting. Kickstarter preorder is $149; expected retail about $199 with deliveries from May 2026.
