The new mophie powerstation plus ultra plugs directly into a wall, and built-in cables let it plug straight into your iPhone or Mac. But it’s no simple wall adapter — it’s also a 10,000mAh power bank.
mophie also introduced on Tuesday two more models in the 2024 powerstation plus line with a variety of features.
mophie powerstation plus ultra brings the features
mophie’s powerstation line of external batteries designed for Apple devices have been around for years, building a reputation as premium accessories. The designs get tweaked annually as mophie adds more and different capabilities. And sometimes names are reused — be careful when making a purchase.
The new top-of-the-line model is the powerstation plus ultra. This powerhouse contains a 10,000mAh internal battery and can charge three devices at once. It includes an integrated USB-C cable (30W) and a Lightning cable, too. And there’s a USB-C port can also put out 30W.
When it comes time to replenish the power bank’s own charge, it includes prongs that plug into a wall socket (U.S.). Or use its USB-C port or cable.
Two more new mophie power banks for 2024
The ultra isn’t the only new external battery from mophie. The accessory-maker also launched a 2024 version of its powerstation plus. It offers 10,000mA too, and has the same two built-in power cables and 30W USB-C port. mophie left out the charging prongs allowing for a slimmer, lighter design.
Speaking of slimmer and lighter, the 2024 version of powerstation plus mini boasts 5,000mAh and a single integrated 20W USB-C cable, plus a 20W USB-C port.
The braided silicone charging cables in all three accessory are tested to withstand up to 30,000 bends. The exteriors use soft-touch silicone, and there’s an aluminum chassis.
They support pass-through charging, and the USB-C cable in each can be used to charge the power bank.
