Geekscape Tech Review: Nomad PowerPack
We all need a mobile battery in our life, so it really is a question of what is the best. Personally, there is a lot to choose from, and I will have to say that Nomad’s Powerpack is definitely one of the most versatile.
What makes the Nomad PowerPack so special?
Generally, there is one number that most mobile battery shoppers look for, and that is the mAh. In the case of the PowerPack, it is at 9,000 mAh (good for 3x charges on the iPhone 7 alone), which is quite something for something of its size. Yes, I know that the picture doesn’t show how large it is, but the Nomad PowerPack is slightly larger than a phablet.
The really great part about it is how it can input with USB-C, which is making a real splash in the charging world. You can see in the picture how there are two USB ports on the front of it, and one of them is a USB A (4V/24.A) and the other is a USB C (5V/3A-12V/2A), which make it very good for fast charge technology.
Can the PowerPack Work for Life on the Road?
I would have to answer that question with a resounding “yes”. This thing is coated with a Dow Dupont polycarbonate frame and a TPU rubber exterior. It works with a 1.2M Mil-spec drop protection.
It genuinely feels like you could take this PowerPack just about everywhere. Not only that, it feels like you could chuck it like a brick and still be able to use it.
What Else is the PowerPack capable of?
Now it is time to talk about what the PowerPack can do in comparison to other mobile batteries. This is what I like writing about, because otherwise my reviews of mobile batteries get repetitive.
You know how sometimes you can lose your phone, and then not have a pleasant time finding it? Yes, this happens to mobile batteries, but there is a solution with Tile.
If you ware not familiar with Tile, it is a Bluetooth tracking application that has received quite a lot of high praises from its users. Essentially, when you get that “I forgot my PowerPack” moment, just turn on Tile and find it.
What is the Price of the Nomad PowerPack?
If you are in the market for a mobile battery, and this didn’t convince you to get it, then I don’t know what else I can tell you. You can go to the Nomad site and order it for $119.95.
