Duracell has been a household name in batteries for generations, and now they’re stepping up their game with the Duracell M150, a powerhouse of a portable battery bank. Priced at $199, this 1.8-pound, 3.1-inch-wide device is a must-have for tech enthusiasts.

What sets the Duracell M150 apart is its impressive array of features. It boasts two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, a MagSafe-compatible wireless charging lid, and even a built-in ring light. But the surprises don’t end there — it also comes with its own charging dock, making it a versatile accessory for your desk or nightstand.

With 100W of power from its main USB-C port and a 91Wh capacity, the Duracell M150 is not only compact enough to be airplane-friendly but also potent enough to rapidly charge laptops like the Dell XPS 15 or a 16-inch MacBook Pro. Moreover, with 150W of total power, you can simultaneously charge your laptop, and Steam Deck, and wirelessly charge your phone at impressive speeds.

Another clever design feature is the discreet compartment under the wireless charging lid, which is perfect for stashing small items like earbuds, a short USB cable, or USB-C power meters.

However, before you make the M150 your go-to nightstand and travel companion, be aware of a couple of limitations. Charging multiple devices simultaneously may require the built-in fan to kick in, which can be a bit noisy. Additionally, the Duracell dock doesn’t provide enough power to keep a large laptop running indefinitely.

Lastly, the M150 has a safety feature that automatically shuts off after a few hours, potentially causing your phone to remain uncharged if you place it on the charger before bedtime. To address this, simply press the power button when you set your phone down.

Final thoughts

The Duracell M150 is a feature-packed portable charging station that combines convenience and power. While it may have some minor drawbacks, its versatility and charging capabilities make it a valuable addition to any tech-savvy individual’s arsenal.
