Sharge’s newest sci-fi power banks look pretty sweet in person.

I’m a sucker for Sharge’s charging gear because it looks like nothing else, and that continues to be true of the new Sharge 170 model and especially the “Internet Hostkey” in my CES hands-on gallery below. Be warned that the Hostkey comes in a wimpy 40Wh capacity model in addition to its reasonable 72Wh one. Here’s my video with a few earlier Sharge products.

<em>The $119 Sharge 170 is bigger and more powerful than its predecessors — with a nicer screen, too.</em>
<em>Capacity is 86.4W, actually less than the</em><a href="https://news.halloffame.workers.dev/2023/10/6/23906552/sharge-sharegeek-storm-retro-mac-sale-best-price"><em> old Sharge 130</em></a><em>, but it can output faster.</em>
<em>All the input and output specs you crave printed right on the side.</em>
<em>Bet you haven’t seen a battery like this — it’s straight out of sci-fi film The Wandering Earth 2, and tops out at a 72Wh capacity. The buttons either show actual output on the screen, or a list of “passcodes” from the movie.</em>
