Turbo Mode Enabled | Check out These Eleven Power Banks for Your ROG Ally
Introduction
On June 13th, ASUS ROG launched its first PC handheld console - the ROG Ally. In terms of design, performance, and user experience, it stands as a high-quality gaming handheld device. With breakthrough advanced design, lightweight construction, and high-performance gaming experience, its real-world performance can match or even surpass that of the PlayStation 4! It's a significant step up from the Nintendo Switch.
However, anyone who has experienced any PC handheld console knows that the biggest factor affecting their usage, including the ROG Ally, is battery life. Specifically, when playing 3A games in the 25W turbo mode, it often only lasts for one or two hours. Though you can get away with it by using the device while plugged in, many people rely on it during commutes or travel.
For those ROG Ally users, a high-capacity, high-power power bank is essential. Initially, there were some compatibility issues with charging, but after updating the BIOS 323 firmware, most users have tested that power banks supporting 100W PD fast charging can enable the ROG Ally to operate in 30W or 25W turbo modes, providing an ultimate gaming experience.
Therefore, ChargerLAB has compiled a list of available power banks supporting 100W fast charging that can fast charge the ROG Ally.
