It also boasts a built-in kickstand.

Thanks to its built-in, foldable Type-C connector placed on top, you don't need to carry a cable with you to use it. Four tiny LEDs in front indicate battery status.

Plus, an integrated, foldable kickstand allows you to prop up your phone on a table when the ArcPack is connected.

Features

[{"selector":"#anim-eb50696e-a74a-46e0-9e1a-6b2fdf91f30c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":3,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-78a688de-40cd-4e98-8c2c-51e3a4f16604","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":6,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] The ArcPack 5000mAh offers a maximum output of 22.5W, and can itself be charged at 18W speeds. The Type-C connector can be flipped open to connect the power bank directly to a smartphone, while the kickstand allows you to view content and charge your phone at the same time.

Usage

[{"selector":"#anim-d48d5d1e-d676-4cda-9e28-607aa6137070","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":3,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9edf3a37-4b89-455a-a147-76d7d9545566","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":6,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] The compact size, the built-in Type-C connector and the integrated kickstand are the key highlights that work in favour of the ArcPack 5000mAh power bank, and make it stand out from the others. However, one niggle is that when the power bank is connected to your phone via the built-in connector, the pocketability gets impacted.

Performance

I tried the Spigen ArcPack 5000mAh with an iPhone 17 Pro Max, and was quite impressed with the results. The phone charged from 20 to 50 percent in just over 20 minutes, & to 60 percent in another 12 minutes. The iPhone charged to 70 percent from 20 percent in about an hour.
