Lenovo has added another charging accessory to its growing Legion lineup, and this one is aimed squarely at people who treat a dead laptop battery like an emergency. The Lenovo Legion PB9, also called the LPB9, is a 24,000mAh power bank with a 170W combined output, three ports, and a wedge-shaped body that looks more like a gadget from a sci-fi prop department than the usual black brick.
It is already on sale in China for 549 yuan, with an introductory price of 489 yuan. That puts it in the same rough bracket as premium laptop power banks from rivals such as Anker and Ugreen, which have been pushing harder into higher-wattage territory as USB-C charging becomes the default for more notebooks.
Lenovo Legion PB9 design and display
What Lenovo is really selling here is the design. Most power banks are still variations on a rectangular slab, but the PB9 uses a triangular, wedge-like profile with a transparent front panel and oversized ”170W” branding. A color display on the front-left side shows the remaining battery level, charging time, and live input and output power, which is the sort of information you only appreciate after trying to guess it from three blinking LEDs.
The top edge carries two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. Lenovo says a single USB-C port can deliver up to 140W, while the USB-A port tops out at 30W. Used together, the ports can reach a combined 170W, with dual USB-C charging rated at 100W and 65W, one USB-C plus USB-A at 140W and 30W, and all three ports active at 65W, 65W, and 18W.
Battery size, charging standards and safety
Inside, Lenovo has fitted a 24,000mAh lithium-ion battery rated at 86.4Wh. That is a serious amount of backup for a portable pack, especially one that also supports Lenovo’s proprietary 140W fast charging alongside PD 3.1, PD 3.0, PD 2.0, PPS, QC 4.0, QC 3.0, Apple 5V/2.4A, BC1.2, AFC, HSCP, and FCP.
The company says the PB9 uses a VO-grade fireproof enclosure and has 3C safety certification. At 171.2 x 70.5 x 61.8 mm and about 710 grams, it is not exactly pocket-friendly, but then neither is the laptop it is clearly meant to rescue at 2% battery.
Who this Lenovo Legion PB9 power bank is for
- Users with high-wattage USB-C laptops that can take advantage of 100W-plus charging
- Gamers and mobile workers who want a display showing real-time charging data
- Buyers who want one pack that can charge a laptop, phone, and accessory at the same time
The real test will be whether Lenovo can turn the PB9’s styling into a reason to buy over more established premium packs. The specs are strong, but this market is increasingly about software-free utility: how fast it charges, how clearly it reports status, and whether it can survive being tossed in a backpack full of cables. Lenovo has clearly done the first two parts. The third is where power banks usually earn their keep.
