MyCharge Razoratinum review: rtable, yet powerful

The myCharge Razoratinum is a $99 battery pack that’s designed to do more than just charge your phone. oking at the myCharge listing for the pack, it’s clear this is a battery pack designed for MacBook users who need some extra juice while on the go.

That said, the Razoratinum gets the job done when it comes to charging any B-C device. th an overall capacity of 13,400 milliamp-hours (49.6), the pack is one of three packs we’ve tested to fall short of 80 percent efficiency — 77.23 to be exact — when discharging at 5V/2.4A.

You’d need to stack two xel Xs to get the thickness of the Razoratinum.

The pack has three ports: two B-C ports, a lone B-A port. Each B-C port has a label just below it, designating its purpose. The port on the left is an input, the two to the right are outputs. Meaning, you really only get two usable ports for charging. It does feature passthrough charging, so you can charge the pack at the same time charge two devices.

Four indicator lights are found just above the ports, light up when you tap on the pack or place it on a table, with the lights representing the amount of charge left in the pack.

Recharge time is my biggest complaint with the Razoratinum. Using a stard wall adapter, total recharge time for the Razoratinum was five hours. According to myCharge if you have a MacBook use the 29wall adapter, the total charge time of the battery pack is just two hours.

Missing from the spec list is any support for Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 or 3.0, which can be a deal breaker for some. However, my xel Xdisplayed the beloved “Charging Rapidly” message when connected to the Razoratinum.

Included in the box with the battery pack is a B-C cable.
