INTRODUCTION

   Working while on the road has never been more widespread than it is today and even though I’m not a Mac person myself i know many who are which is why one of the things i hear quite often is that most of them are always looking for new high-capacity PD (USB-C power delivery) powerbanks. Of course, capacity is not the only thing to look in a brand new powerbank especially a PD one since output matters a lot and so a model with a PD of at least 40W is recommended, especially if you plan on using it with a notebook. The latest Survivor Powerbank 30000 PD 45W by Sandberg seems to offer exactly what most people are looking for and so it is what today's review is all about.

   Sandberg stands for quality and user-friendliness. If it is important for you that accessories are high quality and easy to figure out how to use, then choose Sandberg. Our ideology "IT is for everybody" is part of everything we do. Since its inception in 1985, private consumers, institutions and companies have benefited from this simple philosophy. Distributors and dealers appreciate the availability, range, simple procedures and the exceptionally low failure rate. Every year over half a million Sandberg products find their way to users in more than 30 countries. Choosing Sandberg means choosing a safe and conscientious product that meets all applicable regulatory requirements. A product manufactured by subcontractors who are committed to following Sandberg's Code of Conduct to ensure decent working conditions and reduce the environmental impact of the production and waste disposal.

   The Survivor Powerbank 30000 PD 45W is obviously built around 30000mAh (111Wh) worth of rechargeable lithium-ion cells (just like with previous models I’ve got no idea about the brand of this battery pack but based on a previous review it could be by LG) and features an IP66 certified rugged enclosure (dustproof and shockproof with protection against high pressure water jets from any direction) made out of rubber and plastic, USB-C output (5/9/12/15/20V 3A - 45W), USB-A Quick Charge 3.0 compatible output (5V/3A-9V/2A-12V/1.5A), two USB-A outputs (5V/2.4A), micro USB Quick Charge 2.0 compatible input (5V/2A-9V/2A-12V/1.5A), 8-LED torch at the front and a 4 LED battery charge indicator. Just like with previous models Sandberg covers the Survivor 30000 PD 45W model with a 5-year limited warranty and ships it with a carabiner/snap hook which you can use to quickly attach the powerbank either to your backpack or your belt.
