Rombica chargers provide energy for everything from laptops to copters

A power bank, that is, a portable battery, is carried by many. This is hardly surprising, since modern users often have not one or even two electronic devices that require regular recharging. Phones, tablets, smart watches and other gadgets - everyone needs energy. Who wants to miss an important call or lose access to their data at the most inopportune moment?

What about laptops? Typically, manufacturers of portable chargers ignore them. But Rombica decided to correct this defect by releasing two high-capacity batteries - the NEO PRO 280 and the NEO PRO 180 with a capacity of 28,800 mAh and 18,000 mAh, respectively. They are small in size but functional. One such battery can charge a laptop, a telephone, and a copter. The capacity of NEO PRO 280 is enough to completely refresh the energy charge in the battery of the same iPhone 6s. And not 2-3 times, but 11.

The advantages of these batteries can also be attributed to their versatility:

• Included are 10 different adapters for different notebook models;
• The user receives 2 cables with MagSafe 1 / MagSafe 2 connectors;
• The devices are small in size, they can be hidden in almost any backpack or bag.

The case of both models is made of aluminum, it immediately attracts attention. There are no seams between the top and side edges, they are only between the bottom edge and the rest of the body. In addition to appearance, the case also performs the role of a radiator, which removes heat from the battery. The weight of the older model is 830 grams, dimensions - 192x117x21 mm. As for the NEO PRO 180, the battery is slightly smaller, the battery size is 192x85x21 mm and the weight is about 570 grams. The thickness of the case of both devices is only 22 millimeters. Charging time for the older model is 5 hours and 45 minutes, the youngest one is 3 hours and 30 minutes.



The battery has only one button, it is equipped with a blue backlight, which looks quite stylish and harmonious. This button is responsible for performing several functions at once - turning the battery on and off, selecting the voltage and controlling the charge. On one of the sides of the battery are three voltage indicators. Available modes of operation - 12, 16 and 19 V.

Connectors are placed on the upper end of the NEO PRO, all from one side. There are two USB ports with a traditional output current of 1 and 2.1 A. There are also two round connectors. The first is needed to connect an external power source. The second is the outgoing port, which is used to connect the adapter connected to laptops. Here the maximum current is about 3.2 A.



In the battery, we like the fact that the connectors cannot be confused by inserting, for example, a battery charger into the outgoing port. Their construction and internal diameter differ.





If there is no electricity source around, and a laptop is needed, it’s enough to connect one of the NEO PRO batteries — energy will be supplied to almost any model of laptop, including MacBook Pro and Air. There is no need to search for a cable - the bundle, as mentioned above, comes with two cables with MagSafe 1 and 2 connectors.

The advantage of batteries is also the ability to simultaneously charge three gadgets at once, including a laptop. In order not to expose the battery to unnecessary tests, it is better to connect the gadgets with a smaller load first, gradually increasing it. That is, for example, we connect the phone, tablet, laptop. Approximately in this sequence.

Clearly, you need to monitor the voltage at the output of the battery (relevant for charging laptops, for USB this figure is unchanged). To select, press and hold the battery button. As soon as the indicator starts flashing, we press the button the appropriate number of times so that the “window” indicator lights up with the required voltage indicator.



LED indicators also show battery level. If you connect a phone to it, after fully charging the device's battery, that the NEO PRO 280, that the NEO PRO 180 will turn off.
