UGREEN Nexode 25000mAh 140W Laptop Power Bank

By Tom Calder

Our verdict · Researched
4.2 / 5

A large 25,000mAh (90Wh) bank whose first USB-C port is rated by UGREEN at up to 140W, enough for most USB-C laptops, with a second 65W USB-C port and a USB-A socket for phones. It adds a laptop-capable choice at a lower step than the Anker 165W and 300W models on this page, and UGREEN UK states a two-year warranty. It is a big, heavy unit, so it suits a bag or a kit box rather than a pocket.

Best for
Keeping a laptop as well as phones going through a long outage or a few days away from a socket.
Skip it if
You mainly charge phones and want something pocket-sized (a 10,000mAh bank fits better), or you…

Researched, not used. We haven't used this product. This review is built from the maker's specifications, owner reports and our own sizing.

What we like

  • UGREEN states 140W on one USB-C port and 65W on the second, so a laptop and a phone can charge together
  • 90Wh stated capacity, which UGREEN pairs with a 65W USB-C recharge input
  • Two-year warranty stated on UGREEN's UK page
  • LED display shows the charge level

Worth knowing

  • Stated weight of 513g and a 160 x 80 x 26mm body make it a bag item, not a pocket one
  • No built-in cable, and the full 140W needs a USB-C lead rated for 140W or more, so check the lead you use

Our review

UGREEN's 25,000mAh Nexode is a 90Wh power bank with a 140W USB-C port, which puts a laptop within reach as well as phones and tablets. It is the step between a phone bank and a power station: enough to keep a work laptop going through a day's power cut, in a unit you can still carry in a bag.

What it is

UGREEN titles the bank 145W, which is the total it can deliver across its ports; the first USB-C port alone is rated at 140W. The second USB-C port is rated at 65W and the USB-A socket at 22.5W, which lets a laptop charge on one port while a phone fills from another. Capacity is 25,000mAh at 3.6V, which UGREEN states as 90Wh. A small digital screen shows the remaining charge as a percentage. The body is about 160 by 80 by 26mm and weighs around 513g, by UK listings, so it is a bag item rather than a pocket one.

Charging a laptop

140W over USB-C Power Delivery is enough for most USB-C laptops, including the larger 16-inch models that need more than the 65W many banks top out at. Two points of care. To get the full rate your USB-C lead must itself be rated at 140W or higher; an ordinary 60W lead limits the bank to 60W. And 90Wh is less than it sounds once a laptop is involved: a work laptop drawing 30W would take roughly two and a half hours of run time from a full bank, by our arithmetic, after conversion losses. For phones it is a different story, with several full charges in hand.

Recharging it

The first USB-C port accepts up to 65W in, and UGREEN says the bank refills in about two hours from a 65W adaptor. That is quick for the capacity, and it means a short window of mains power during an intermittent cut is enough to put a useful charge back in. Keep it topped up between uses; lithium banks lose a little charge in storage, and the display makes it easy to check. Our lithium battery fire safety guide covers sensible charging habits.

Flying with it

At 90Wh it sits under the 100Wh figure that airlines use as the threshold for carrying lithium batteries in the cabin without airline approval, and power banks must go in hand luggage, not the hold. GOV.UK's hand luggage page sets out the rules; check your airline's own policy before you fly, as some restrict the number of banks per passenger.

How it compares

On the power banks page the Anker Prime 26,250mAh goes to 300W across its ports and charges faster, for more money, while the Anker 25,000mAh 165W adds built-in cables. The UGREEN 20,000mAh 45W is the lighter, cheaper choice if a laptop is not in the picture. For a whole day of laptop work and a router, a small power station from our power station picks is the next step up.

Our verdict

Buy it if your power-cut plan includes a laptop and you want a bank that recharges quickly and shows its state at a glance. UGREEN's UK site states a two-year warranty. Skip it if you only charge phones: a 10,000mAh bank is lighter and cheaper, and this one's weight and size are wasted on that job.

Questions

Will the UGREEN 25,000mAh power bank charge a laptop?

Yes, through its first USB-C port, rated at 140W. Your USB-C lead must itself be rated at 140W or higher to get the full rate, and the 90Wh capacity gives a typical laptop a few hours of extra running.

Can I take the UGREEN 25,000mAh bank on a plane?

Its 90Wh capacity is under the 100Wh limit airlines apply to lithium batteries in hand luggage, and power banks must travel in the cabin. Check your airline's own rules first.

How long does it take to recharge?

About two hours from a 65W USB-C adaptor, according to UGREEN. A weaker adaptor takes proportionally longer.

How heavy is it?

UK listings give about 513g and a body of roughly 160 by 80 by 26mm. It is a bag item, not something for a coat pocket.
