Kanex Launches GoPower USB-C Battery Pack for MacBook

Kanex has introduced a new GoPower rechargeable 15,000 mAh USB-C battery pack capable of delivering one full charge to the 12-inch Retina MacBook.

USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables are included for charging the GoPower itself. A four-LED status indicator lets users know the power level of the battery pack based on 25 percent, 50 percent, 75 percent, and 100 percent intervals.

Kanex has also included a built-in circuit protection board with priority charging detection technology that enables pass-through charging to plugged in devices when the battery pack itself is plugged into a power source.

The battery pack's USB-C output is 5V at 3 Amps, while its USB output is 5V at 2.4 Amps.

GoPower retails for $99.95 on Amazon and Kanex's website.

Whoa that's even more expensive than Apple's adapter!

This is a battery pack... Why are you comparing its price to an adapter?

I think it could be improved with a built in USB hub that could be used while it's plugged in - or not if you're in a tight spot.
check this out... not quite the battery size, but cheaper, probably better quality, and has USB ports: https://jet.com/product/detail/bb6f60341dcc4bd796db07446c5f98bf

Anker makes a higher capacity battery that's a lot cheaper:

beyond that, why would you want a USB-C connection if the charging cable for a MacBook is USB->USB-C? they make even higher capacity battery that can charge a MacBook 3x.

Why didn't they make the battery pack thicker, so it had more power!
