Sharge Shargeek 170 Review: 170W, 24,000mAh Laptop Power Bank

Sharge’s Shargeek 170 packs 24,000mAh (86.4Wh) into a clear, prism-shaped shell and can push up to 170W across three ports, according to Sharge’s product page. Each of its two USB-C ports can deliver 140W over USB PD 3.1, either one can recharge the bank at 140W, and the case carries an IP66 dust and water rating. On Oct. 17, 2026, Sharge’s U.S. store showed a sale price of $109.90, down from a regular price of $214.99. Below I go through the spec sheet, the port-sharing rules and some real-world math, so you can tell whether it’s the right laptop power bank for you.

All specs below are from Sharge’s Shargeek 170 product page and Amazon listing unless I say otherwise. Runtime and charge counts are my own estimates, and I’ve shown the math. You can see the current Shargeek 170 listing on Amazon (Alpine White), and there’s also a Dark Gray version.

Quick Verdict

  • Best for: people who carry a 140W-class laptop (such as a 16-inch MacBook Pro), handheld gamers, and travelers who want one carry-on-safe battery for everything.
  • Standout features: two 140W USB-C ports, 140W two-way charging, a live power display, and an IP66 rating.
  • Keep in mind: at 680g (about 1.5 lb) it’s a bag battery rather than a pocket one, and running all three ports drops total output to 163W.
  • Price on Sharge’s U.S. store: $109.90 sale, $214.99 regular (Oct. 17, 2026).

Design and Smart Display

The Shargeek 170 is a triangular prism with a transparent shell, so you can see the internal parts through the case. All three ports and the single button are on one end. A screen on the side shows input and output wattage, battery percentage and estimated time remaining. A power bank this big can feed a laptop, phone and earbuds at once, so the display is more than a gimmick: you can check whether your laptop is getting a full 140W or a slower profile without reaching for a USB meter.

ZDNET’s hands-on notes that a double tap of the button turns on a low-current (trickle) mode. That’s the one to use for earbuds, smartwatches and other small devices that would otherwise make a high-power bank shut off early.

The prism shape stays put on a desk and doesn’t roll in a bag. It is thicker than a flat brick, though. At 59.6 x 62.8 mm across, it fits better in a backpack side pocket or tech pouch than in a jeans pocket.

Port Sharing: How the 170W Splits

A “170W” headline doesn’t mean every port gets 170W. Sharge publishes the exact split, and it’s worth knowing before you plug in two laptops:

Ports in use Total output (Sharge) What it means
One USB-C 140W Full PD 3.1 speed for a 140W laptop
USB-C1 + USB-C2 165W Two laptops share 165W, so they can’t both draw 140W
One USB-C + USB-A 170W 140W laptop + 30W phone: the max combo
All three ports 163W Laptop, tablet and phone at once

Most people will get the best results from one laptop on USB-C plus a phone on USB-A, since that’s the 170W combination. With two laptops on both USB-C ports, expect them to share the power. Two 65W ultrabooks will both charge at full speed, but two 16-inch MacBook Pros won’t both get 140W.

Worked Examples: How Many Charges?

Power banks lose some energy to voltage conversion and heat, so 86.4Wh on the label doesn’t become 86.4Wh in your device. For PD laptop charging I use about 85% efficiency as a planning figure, which gives roughly 73Wh of usable energy. Sharge’s 13,200mAh at 5V rating works out to about 66Wh, which is a fair worst case for slow 5V charging.

Device (approx. battery) Estimated charges from ~73Wh Math
16-inch MacBook Pro (100Wh) About 0.7 of a full charge 73 / 100
13-inch laptop (50Wh) About 1.4 charges 73 / 50
Handheld gaming PC (40Wh) About 1.8 charges 73 / 40
Large tablet (~30Wh) About 2.4 charges 73 / 30
Flagship phone (~17Wh) About 4 charges 73 / 17

Example 1: Work day on a MacBook Pro. If your 16-inch MacBook Pro averages about 20W during light work (browsing and documents), 73Wh adds roughly 3.5 hours of runtime on top of the internal battery. Plug it in while working and the 140W port will cover even heavy loads, but the bank runs down much faster under a render or game.

Example 2: Starlink Mini. Starlink Mini accepts USB-C PD power, and its draw is often quoted in the 25-40W range. At an average of 30W, 73Wh gives about 2.4 hours (73 / 30). That’s enough for a work session or a few video calls, but not a whole day. For longer runs, see our guide to Starlink Mini USB-C power.

Example 3: Recharging. At a steady 140W, 86.4Wh would refill in about 37 minutes in theory. Real charging slows as the battery fills, which is why Sharge quotes 0-50% in 20 minutes and the Amazon listing quotes about 45 minutes for a full charge. To get that speed you need a 140W PD 3.1 charger that supports 28V. The included 240W cable handles the rest. On a 65W charger, expect closer to 1.5-2 hours.

Charging Behavior and Pass-Through

Sharge’s FAQ confirms pass-through charging: you can charge the bank while it powers your devices. That’s handy at an airport gate with one outlet, because you plug your 140W wall charger into the Shargeek 170, then run your laptop and phone off the bank. Either USB-C port can act as the input, so you don’t have to remember which port is which.

Wide protocol support (PD 3.1/3.0, QC 4.0/3.0, Samsung AFC, Huawei SCP/FCP and Apple 2.4A) means older phones and Android devices still fast-charge instead of falling back to 5V.

Air Travel

At 86.4Wh, the Shargeek 170 is under the 100Wh limit that the FAA and most airlines apply to carry-on power banks without airline approval, and Sharge says it meets TSA, FAA and EASA standards. As with any lithium power bank, it goes in your carry-on, not checked luggage. For more options and airline rules, see our best power bank for travel guide.

Outdoors: What IP66 Covers

IP66 means the bank is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets, so rain, spray and a dusty campsite are covered. The Amazon listing also says it isn’t designed to be submerged, and IP66 isn’t an immersion rating anyway. Keep the port end out of puddles, and dry the ports before you charge.

Shargeek 170 vs Anker 737 (PowerCore 24K)

The closest rival is Anker’s 737, which has the same 24,000mAh capacity and also supports 140W. Here’s how they compare on paper, using each brand’s published specs:

Spec Sharge Shargeek 170 Anker 737 (PowerCore 24K)
Capacity 24,000mAh / 86.4Wh 24,000mAh (about 86.4Wh)
Max single USB-C 140W (both ports) 140W
Max total output 170W 140W
USB-A output 30W 18W
Input 140W, either USB-C 140W, USB-C1 only
Recharge 0-50% in 20 min 100% in 52 min
Water/dust rating IP66 Not rated
Weight 680g 630g
Warranty 12 months 24 months

The Shargeek 170 offers more total output, a faster USB-A port, input on either USB-C port, and weather sealing. The Anker is a bit lighter, slimmer and has a longer warranty. Read our full Anker 737 power bank review for the details.

Who Should Buy the Shargeek 170

  • Laptop users with 100W+ chargers: the 28V/5A profile lets 140W-capable laptops charge at full speed.
  • Multi-device travelers: laptop plus phone at 170W total is the sweet spot, and the display shows where the power is going.
  • Outdoor and van users: IP66 sealing and pass-through make it a good companion for a Starlink Mini or camera kit.
  • Gamers: Sharge says it charges Steam Deck and ROG Ally handhelds.

If you only charge phones, a lighter 10,000-20,000mAh bank will be easier to carry. If you need more than 100Wh or AC outlets, a small power station is a better fit.

FAQ

Can I bring the Shargeek 170 on a plane?

Yes. It’s rated at 86.4Wh, under the common 100Wh carry-on limit, and Sharge says it meets TSA, FAA and EASA standards. Pack it in your carry-on.

Does the Shargeek 170 support pass-through charging?

Yes. Sharge’s FAQ confirms you can charge devices while the bank itself is charging.

Can it charge two laptops at once?

Yes. The two USB-C ports share 165W in total, so two 65W laptops will both charge at full speed, while two 140W laptops will split the power.

How fast does it recharge?

Sharge quotes 0-50% in 20 minutes with 140W input, and the Amazon listing says about 45 minutes to full. You need a 140W PD 3.1 charger for those times.

Is it waterproof?

It’s rated IP66, which covers dust and strong water jets. It isn’t meant to be submerged.

What’s in the box?

The power bank, a 240W USB-C to USB-C cable, a travel pouch and a user guide. A wall charger isn’t included.

Does it work with the Steam Deck and ROG Ally?

Yes, according to Sharge’s FAQ.

What’s the warranty?

Sharge lists a 12-month warranty.

Bottom Line

The Shargeek 170 is one of the few carry-on-legal power banks that combines two 140W USB-C ports, 140W recharging, a useful live display and IP66 sealing. If your laptop can take 140W and you want one battery for your laptop, phone and travel gear, it belongs on your shortlist.
