Ugreen has dropped the PB728 power bank, a beast designed not just to keep your phone alive but to charge hungry laptops and other heavy gear. Priced at just $50, it boasts a hefty 25,000mAh battery, a vibrant color display, and a combined output of up to 200 watts. That’s an aggressive value, even by Chinese tech standards.

The PB728 is already listed on JD.com, one of China’s biggest e-commerce platforms. Its main aim: ditch the tangle of cables in your bag. To do that, it comes with two built-in USB-C cables right out of the box. One extends up to 65 centimeters and supports 100W charging, while the other is a 30-centimeter strap-style cable that also delivers 100W.

A color screen on the case keeps you informed on battery status and charging activity. Besides the integrated cables, Ugreen includes two additional ports-including a USB-C port. The company specifically highlights support for Xiaomi’s MiPPS fast-charging protocol at up to 90W on all USB-C ports. When using two ports simultaneously, the total power output can surge to 200W, letting you juice up two laptops without throttling the speed to a crawl.

Ugreen PB728 power bank specifications

  • Capacity: 25,000mAh (~90Wh)
  • Max total output: 200W
  • Two built-in USB-C cables, each supporting 100W
  • Retractable 65 cm cable
  • 30 cm strap-style cable
  • Color display on the body
  • Dimensions: 158 × 54 × 50 mm
  • Weight: 623 grams

The battery size isn’t accidental. At roughly 90 watt-hours, it sits just under the common 100Wh limit airline regulators impose for carry-on lithium-ion batteries. That’s why many high-capacity power banks built for laptops hover in the 24,000-27,000mAh range: legal for travel and powerful enough to handle more than just a smartphone.

Price-wise, the PB728 stands out. To put it in perspective, Anker’s Prime Power Bank with 27,650mAh capacity and 250W output launched in the US for $179.99. Ugreen’s previous Nexode line featured 25,000mAh but significantly less power. With the PB728, Ugreen seems to be pushing premium laptop-grade charging into a more mainstream price bracket.

On output, USB-C Power Delivery 3.1 now supports charging at up to 240W. So the PB728’s 200W max sits near the upper limit of what most devices really need today. If the JD.com price stays firm internationally, the PB728 could quickly become one of the most compelling all-in-one power banks that charge not just your phone but tablets and laptops, too.
