When thinking about mobile device accessories and charging, Mophie is at the forefront of providing power. The company has been designing cases, external batteries, cables, and docks for years with the same goal at the center of each and every product: you should never be unable to use your device because it should always be charged. And unlike competitors, Mophie’s products are about as high-end as they come. Premium durable materials are used in everything Mophie creates, so you know you’re getting something powerful and sturdy. The higher price paid to get something from Mophie is because of the quality behind it.
The Powerstation 5x, which belongs to the new Powerstation family, is an external battery with 10,000mAh integrated into a slim aluminum body. It may cost $129, but that price is worth every penny when you see and feel what Mophie has going on here.
While the Powerstation 5X has a massive 10,000mAh battery, Mophie managed to fit everything within a body that measures 172.2 x 98.6 x 9.9mm and weighs 280.7g. You might think that it’s large and will take up a lot of space, but the Powerstation 5X is surprisingly thin. Mophie spread this external battery’s size out to allow it to fit in tight spaces rather than creating a little brick. The weight isn’t anything to be concerned with, either, because you’re not going to be carrying the Powerstation 5X in your hand. Let’s be real: you’re going to be leaving it on a tablet or in a bag. So there’s no need to complain that it’s heavy.
The design could be my favorite thing about this external battery. The aluminum body is cold and smooth, two characteristics that really up its premium vibe. Then, at the top where the USB and micro-USB ports are, a rubber trim is present with light-ready icons to indicate what the Powerstation 5X is doing. Also, on the right side Mophie placed four status LED indicators above the power button. The Powerstation 5X just looks so simple and beautiful.
Being that the battery is so beefy, Mophie included two full-size USB ports. Whether it’s two phones, two tablets, or a split, the Powerstation 5X is ready to charge fast with 15W input and output. If the Powerstation 5X is low on battery, you can start charging it while your devices are still connected and the Priority+ technology will humbly put you before everything. There’s also special digital power management to optimize the charge between devices. Mophie wants everyone to relax and know their devices will charge and not be harmed.
Have you ever come across an external battery with its own companion app? Probably not. The Powerstation 5X, though, does indeed have its own companion app that is packed with useful features for you to monitor the external battery remotely from your phone or tablet. Mophie Power connects your phone or tablet to the Powerstation 5X by Bluetooth, and then devices communicate to share information about multiple things.
The app tells you when your mobile device should be finished receiving power from the Powerstation 5X in addition to displaying the current battery level. Also, Mophie Power enables custom battery notifications to alert you whenever your phone or tablet is low on battery or when things are done charging.
From time-to-time, Mophie Power will drop by with tips and suggestions for ways you can improve battery life.
