Can it charge a MacBook Air?

Yes! The 45W USB-C PD output charges MacBook Air M1/M2/M3 at full speed. You can charge laptop + phone simultaneously.

How is this different from A110E (22.5W)?

The A1681 outputs 45W vs 22.5W — meaning it charges laptops, not just phones. Same 20K capacity but significantly faster charging for larger devices.

How fast does the power bank recharge?

About 2.5 hours with a 45W USB-C PD charger. Much faster than the A110E thanks to the higher-wattage input.

Can I use it during a power outage for my router?

Absolutely. 20,000mAh powers a standard Wi-Fi router for 10+ hours. A true blackout essential.

Is it airline-approved?

Yes — 72Wh is well under the TSA 100Wh limit. Safe for carry-on luggage worldwide.

Honest Engineering Note:

The actual weight (395g) is slightly heavier than counterfeit copies (High-Copy) in the market — this is the cost of genuine high-density cells. The weight difference proves real cells, not recycled or refilled ones.

The Cairo Volt Verdict 💡

"The A1681 is where power banks get serious. At 45W PD, this isn't just for phones — it charges laptops. We tested it with a MacBook Air M3: from 20% to 72% during a 2-hour café session in Downtown Cairo with no power outlets. Then we charged an iPhone 17 Pro at the same time from the USB-A port. That's laptop AND phone from one power bank. The 20,000mAh capacity means you're genuinely independent from wall outlets for an entire workday. For freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who works from Cairo's cafés and co-working spaces, this is the ultimate productivity tool. It's the sweet spot between the affordable A110E (22.5W) and the premium A1695 (165W)."
✍️ Review: Cairo Volt Tech Team

45W PD: Welcome to Laptop Charging Territory

The A1681 breaks the barrier that separates phone chargers from laptop chargers. With 45W USB-C Power Delivery, it charges MacBook Air, iPad Pro, Surface Go, and most USB-C Chromebooks. That means during a power outage, you're not just keeping your phone alive — you're keeping your entire workstation running. During our test, the 45W output charged a MacBook Air M3 from 20% to 72% in 2 hours while simultaneously topping up an iPhone from the USB-A port.

The Café Worker's Secret Weapon

In Cairo, finding a café with working power outlets is a gamble. The A1681 makes you outlet-independent. With 20,000mAh backing 45W output, you get 1+ full MacBook Air charge OR 4+ iPhone charges. Walk into any café, co-working space, or library — you bring your own power. The smart display shows real-time wattage output so you know exactly how fast your devices are charging.

Built for the Egyptian Professional

Whether it's a load-shedding schedule that kills your productivity, a 5-hour train to Alexandria, or a freelance session at Zamalek Grounds — the A1681 is your productivity insurance. ActiveShield 3.0 monitors heat (critical at 45W output), and the trickle-charge mode keeps your AirPods safe. At 72Wh, it's flight-approved for all airlines.

⚠️ Buyer Warning:

Never use a 5W cable with a 45W+ power bank — the cable bottlenecks at 15W and overheats. Always pair the A1681 with a 100W-rated cable like the Anker A8050 to unlock full 45W charging speed safely.
