Cuktech 15 Ultra Power Bank review: impressive charging but limited port selection

This is a great portable USB-A and USB-C power bank that has to make a few compromises in service of high capacity.

Our Verdict

The Cuktech 15 Ultra Power Bank is an impressive-looking and massively helpful travel aid for creatives who need to charge their devices on the go. With 20,000mAh capacity, it can store full charges for even the biggest laptops (or give you several days of heavy off-grid use on your camera phone), and the on-screen info is both helpful and attractive. It is heavy, though, and not the cheapest, and there are only USB-A and C ports on it, which might limit some users.
