INTRODUCTION
Winter is almost upon us (wondering how much it will last this year) and as always this is the season when many of us go hiking and/or camping in the mountains with friends and family. This means that soon most of us will need to start gathering supplies for those trips and well, as expected these supplies also include electronic devices like power banks and LED torches/flashlights. Many years ago, I did a couple reviews for a brand new name in the market called Zendure and since many of you have recently asked for reviews of high capacity powerbanks I decided to reach out and ask to test their best-selling SuperTank Pro model.
Founded in 2017, Zendure is one of the fastest-growing EnergyTech start-ups located in the technology hubs of Silicon Valley, USA, and the Greater Bay Area, China, Japan, and Germany. Our purpose to accelerate a sustainable future. Our mission is to deliver reliable and affordable clean energy for households worldwide by popularizing the latest EnergyTech. Our envision is being a Clean EnergyTech platform that sustains communities and families.
As the name suggests the SuperTank Pro is an improved version of the SuperTank model which I reviewed way too long ago (almost a year prior to the release of the pro version). Unfortunately, unlike the SuperTank model which was available in black, silver and blue colors the new SuperTank Pro model is only available in silver. Inside the silver anodized aluminum enclosure of the SuperTank Pro Zendure has placed Samsung explosion-proof rechargeable lithium polymer battery cells (my samples arrived with lithium-ion 20 cells but there's a lithium-polymer version available as well) adding to a total of 26.800mAh (96.48Wh / 9 layer safety protection - TSA/EASA compliant), dual NTC thermistor sensors (overheating protection), transient voltage suppressors for each port (ESD protection), OLED screen, two USB-C PD 100W input/output ports (enough juice even for laptop use), two USB-C 20W output ports, and built-in flash memory for possible firmware updates (samples arrived with firmware version 1.2.6). Since the SuperTank Pro already counts almost 4 years in the market I expect Zendure to have resolved any possible issues so let's see what it's capable of.
