Review: RAVPower RP-PB14 Xtreme – The Last Portable Battery You’ll Ever Need?

[Dane Trethowan]

Review: RAVPower RP-PB14 Xtreme – The Last Portable Battery You’ll Ever Need?
August 27, 2014


RAVPower RP-PB14 Xtreme

I’m starting to think I might have a problem. My interest in external batteries 
may be turning into a fetish, but these energy stores are important to our 
digital lifestyles. The latest electron pump to whet my appetite is the 
RAVPower RP-PB14 Xtreme.

Xtreme is a clue to this units performance, this is one meaty power pack. 
Weighing in at over half a kilo and with dimensions of 18.5 cms x 12.4 cms x 
1.8 cms, this isn’t going to fit in your pocket. But its huge capacity is its 
advantage and it’s still small enough to fit in pretty much any bag.

The 23,000mAh 5v output will, for example, fully recharge an iPhone around 12 
times, a Galaxy S4 around 7 times and even an iPad Air from empty to full twice 
over. In addition the battery can output a range of higher voltages to power 
netbooks, notebooks and laptops too.

The Kit

As well as the battery itself, the kit comes with 4 charger tips for mobile 
devices (Samsung, Nokia, mini and micro USB) as well as 2 x USB power leads, 
plus a range of 10 charger tips for laptops (see below) and a DC lead to hook 
them up. There’s also a felt carry case to pack it all into.

RAVPower RP-PB14 Xtreme Kit

Feel the Power

The little LCD screen gives the unit an air of quality and shows the remaining 
power level of the cells (both visually in bars as well as a percentage value). 
In addition the USB symbol appears when charging through either of the USB 
ports.

RAVPower RP-PB14 Xtreme LCD Display

The upper aluminium body (plastic bottom half) helps with heat dissipation and 
there are 4 ports along the top edge of the case. From left to right, first is 
the input port, this is used to charge the battery from the supplied AC Mains 
charger (15-24v 2A) which will work around the world as it’s 100-240V 50-60Hz. 
It takes around 6 hours to fully charge.

RAVPower RP-PB14 Xtreme Ports

Next along is the USB 2 port, this is a 2.5A output that will charge an iPad at 
full speed as well as those other power greedy devices like the Galaxy Tab or 
Nexus 7. The USB 1 port is a standard 1.0A output for your iPhone, Android 
smartphone, Portable Game Console etc. Finally the right-most port is the DC 
Output for charging laptops and notebooks. 






Check the AC adaptor for your laptop to determine the voltage required, then 
hold down the single function button until the voltage value begins to flash. 
Press the button again to cycle through the output options (9, 12, 16, 19 and 
20 volts). Once you arrive at the correct value leave it flashing for a few 
seconds and it will stop and lock to that output.

Apple Magsafe Cord / CableThe 10 notebook tips included in the kit will connect 
the battery to most units from Acer, Asus, Benq, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, 
Sony and Toshiba.

Being a MacBook household there’s an obvious omission from that list, no doubt 
because of Apple’s proprietary connector. However a quick search turns up these 
inexpensive Apple Magsafe and Magesafe 2 cords so it may be possible to rig 
something up for your Cupertino computer. But plug any Heath Robinson 
contraption into your shiny, expensive MacBook at your own risk.

You can use both USB Smart Ports at once (3.5A max) and even simultaneously 
charge 3 devices by adding your laptop at the same time (4.5A max total 
output). The instructions allude to an 80% efficiency stating that the unit 
will “…consume about 20% of the total capacity, including power loss from 
circuit heat and voltage conversion”.

RAVPower say the Lithium-Polymer cells employed by their unit are more stable 
and safer than Li-ion and they are good for over 500 recharge cycles. They are 
keen to point out the other safety features of this unit too and quote 
protection for overcharge, overvoltage, overcurrent, overtemperature and short 
circuit with auto-shut down where required. In normal use the unit will auto 
power off between 5 and 20 seconds after its been disconnected.

Bottom Line

We recently packed the RP-PB14 on a long family car journey and even though 
there was USB power available in the car, the rear seat passengers preferred to 
use the battery as it meant those (short) lightning and micro-USB cables 
weren’t as stretched and restrictive as they were when plugged into the car 
adaptor.

The enormous capacity of the RAVPower unit would be especially useful on long 
flights. Although I’ve noticed there’s an increased risk of being pulled at 
airport security these days with a battery in your hand luggage. I’ve been 
stopped at the X-Ray on 4 out of the last 4 flights I’ve taken so they could 
take a closer look at this smaller battery.

 
My daughter can seemingly drain any smartphone battery in just a few hours and 
as she’s starting university in a few weeks this is going to be the perfect 
device for her backpack. Popularity with her fellow IT students should be 
assured too when word

And here’s another review Bowers And Wilkins themselves put up on their Twitter

I have the originals myself though one does have to wonder just how good they

Re: Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless headphones review: They sound better than the original

[Dane Trethowan]

Yes point taken but I think you'd have to admint that the sound of good 
audio is extremely addictive and the claim is made that these new cans 
sound better than the older model.
