Tronsmart Edge 20000mAh Quick Charge 3.0 Power Bank

Unboxing

The Power Bank comes in a rather premium packaging (not eco-friendly unfortunately) with a basic set of accessories: 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x Manual plus two other cards, 1x Pouch (with a pretty strong paint/plastic smell, a bit disappointing) and the Power Bank (of course).

It's a pity that there is no Type-C cable included in the box, but the Pouch Quality is what worries me most. Can't recommend to use it (the pouch) unfortunately, even though it is quite well-made.

As regards the power bank materials instead, its chassis is made of Plastic, probably to keep its weight low considering the big capacity, with a nice rubberized surface. Usually, i don't like this kind of surface, but here it is quite pleasant to the touch, feels high quality, and also protects the plastic from drops slightly better. Just be careful to not scratch it.

On the front, there are 4x White LEDs to show the charge level and the Tronsmart logo. Pretty minimalistic.

The Power/Status Button is located on one of the sides.

Unlike the Presto Series from Tronsmart, this Edge uses a Micro-USB Port for quick charging, while the Type-C port, that also works as an output port, is capped to 5V/3A. This is how it should have been in order to be compliant with the USB standards, but it is still a, sort of, downgrade.

There are 2 USB-A ports available, one of which is Quick Charge 3 compatible (up to 12V/1.5V), while the other supports up to 5V/2.4A with the Tronsmart's VoltIQ technology that provides the correct charging protocol based on the connected device and regulate the voltage based on that.

Considering the 20000mAh battery capacity, it is as bulky and big as you would expect, with a size of 15.13x7.92x2.54mm, and a weight of 386g. Its design slightly impacts the dimensions, but the weight is just fine.

Efficiency

All tests have been done using my semi-professional USB Tester for maximum accuracy and hardware stress. Picture of it below.

Starting from the standard 5V/2.4A USB port, the voltage is quite accurate even at 2.4A load. It rare to get such a stable voltage from a power bank. Only at 3A load, over its declared specs, it goes just slightly under 5V. Excellent result.

As regards the Quick Charge 3 USB port, it goes up to 5V/3A with a voltage of ~5.03V, while in Quick Charge mode it gets up to 12V properly with no issues. Unfortunately i cannot test the Huawei FCP compatibility since i do not own any device featuring this charging technology.

Nothing to complain about the battery capacity, it isn't 100% accurate but i accept it for power banks with such high capacity since it isn't easy to charge each cell with the same amount of power. 20000mAh (declared) vs ~19100mAh (measured).

Conclusions

Tronsmart is quite a solid company when it comes to accessories, and this one is no exception. I am aware that this is not a perfect product, since one of the drawbacks is the lack of a real Type-C Quick Charge port, but in the same time it is well-made and features an excellent power output.

For those Huawei/Honor users that are in search for a quick charge capable power bank, i can recommend it. Other users might have a wider range of available products so the choice of this particular model is highly dependent on the price, since nowadays the market is full of similar products.

Pros:

- Power Output

- Huawei FCP compatibility

- Build Quality

Cons:

- No USB-PD support

- No Quick Charge via Type-C (but necessary to comply with USB standards)

- Suspicious included pouch quality
