Apparently I like updating this kit, because only a couple of months later, I’m doing it yet again! I was recently in a hotel with USB-C ports, and it made me realize I was missing an opportunity for easy charging by not having a couple of extra cables. And UGREEN, a favourite charging brand of mine, came out with a perfect new product.
Mini Charging Pack v3 | 18.5oz / 526g
The v3 only has two changes from the v2, denoted with stars ⭐️:
- The same Alpaka Zip Clutch in Bahama Blue X-Pac VX21
- Anker 2 in 1 USB-C cable (4 foot)
- 3.3 foot USB-C cable (my Google Pixel 9 Pro cable)
- ⭐️ Six-inch 240 watt cables x 2 – I wanted small cables that were white to match the others, and these SUMPK (a well known, highly-respected brand 😂) do the job.
- Flextail ZERO POWER 10,000C Battery Bank
- UGREEN Nexode Pro 65W GaN USB-C Slim Wall Charger
- ⭐️ UGREEN Nexode Air 45W USB-C Charger: this is the interesting new addition and it’s just <chef’s kiss> perfect! 10W more power than the charger it replaces, the same single USB-C port, and a finish that won’t scratch if you look at it wrong. 🙌
- Two USB-C charging docks for watches
- Geometrical Pocket Tripod Pro V2 in Panda White
- One Snug Plug
- USB-C to USB-A adaptor
The two little six-inch cables slide into the front pockets, which is perfect.
I was far too excited that the new 45W UGREEN charger fit into the same tiny pouch on the right as the 35W charger it’s replacing. I take joy in the little things. 😆
If I felt like spending more money for not very good reasons, I’d buy the new UGREEN 65W charger to replace my existing one. But since it doesn’t offer any more power, ports, or size advantages — it’s just got a new external design — and that’s not worth $50 to me…even if it perfectly matching the 45W charger would make me happy. 🤓
