Stuffcool is a Mumbai-based technology brand who primarily sell mobile and laptop accessories. Today we’re reviewing their “Click 20” MagSafe compatible wireless power bank.
Retailing at ₹3499 on their website, it is in a very tough market segment of accessories. Let’s find out if it’s worth it.
What’s In The Box:
- The power bank itself
- A USB-C to C cable
- Literature
- A warranty card with a QR code for registration
The packaging is minimal, encased in a plastic shell, with the only “waste” in the box being the cover that the power bank comes wrapped in (and perhaps the literature).
Features:
It comes with a capacity of 20,000mAh and can be charged using a USB-C input.
It outputs :
- USB-C: 20W max
- USB-A: 20W max
- Wireless: 15W max
Just like our last powerbank review, this is a standard for a lot of devices in the market.
Review:
The power bank is not small, unlike what the packaging says. In fact, you won’t be wrong calling this a power BRICK, because it is HEAVY, perhaps heavier than any power bank in this segment. It will feel solid in your hand even though it’s made out of plastic. The rectangular design coupled with the titanium finish feels premium, as if it’s made for the latest iPhone. The bank is made of metal on the top and plastic where the wireless charger is.
With dimensions of 69x110x28.5 mm, it’s not as pocketable as you might think, unless you have deep pockets! But weighing at 326 grams, it’s not going to be a light payload, as a phone might add another 200 grams to it.
On the bank, there is a LED screen which shows the charging and PD indicator and battery percentage – while both charging and discharging. One little ick with this design is that this screen is actually upside down whilst charging. The magnets are solid, and it takes a bit of force to separate it from the phone.
When charging wirelessly on an iPhone, the normal charging animation appears. Unlike other packs, a second animation displaying the power bank’s remaining level isn’t shown. But that’s not a big concern, as the power bank has its own display.
Charging with the USB-C port is as quick as advertised. Tested on an android device, the phone indicated that it was “quick charge” but the PD indicator didn’t go green – which might just be a compatibility issue. The phone went from 30% to 70% in about 45 minutes. Compared to the phone’s native 33W charger, it’s not as fast, but from the power banks of the yesteryears, it is definitely faster.
Throughout our charging cycles, the power bank showed signs of moderate heating, however, due to the metal design (on the top) the heat quickly dissipated.
Is This For You?
It is hard to put a finger on the value for this power bank. If you’re looking to charge your devices atop a table, this seems like a bang-for-the-buck product with its capacity. Because, certainly, this is not pocketable at the weight and size.
But this power bank might be more valuable if you’re a photographer with a mirrorless camera. You can use this power bank to extend the life of your camera on-location and for much longer than other power bricks, due to its capacity.
But is it worth the ₹3500 price tag? That’s for you to decide, as the competition is quite fierce in this segment. Especially if you don’t care about wireless charging or matching aesthetics, where you can find similarly specced power banks for half the price.
According to us, the Stuffcool Click 20 gets a solid recommendation!
