Let’s be frank for a moment: in a society where every device insists it is “revolutionary,” powerbanks often seem remarkably ordinary. Yet occasionally, one stands out and garners my interest. Introducing the StuffCool Giga 65W Powerbank – a compact 20,000mAh giant that challenges its own dimensions and heft. I dedicated the last few days to utilizing it for charging various devices, from smartphones to TWS earphones, and even a 15-inch laptop. After all was said and done, I must express that labeling the StuffCool Giga 65W as merely another powerbank feels akin to calling a Ferrari “just another vehicle.”
The Giga is not only compact at 6.8 x 10.8 x 3.25 cm but surprisingly lightweight, weighing approximately 380 grams. Unlike the majority of powerbanks you’ve encountered, the StuffCool Giga seamlessly fits into a backpack or handbag without making you feel as if you’re lugging around a heavy object. Besides the noticeable charging status indicator, the integrated USB-C cable of the StuffCool Giga is cleverly constructed – it’s short enough that it won’t require you to carry an unwieldy wire while charging your device, yet just long enough to wrap comfortably around your wrist. The standout feature is undoubtedly the integrated Type-C cable that delivers up to 65W PD output. For those who often forget to bring along charging cables (like yours truly), this powerbank proves to be a true lifesaver. I experimented with the cable across various gadgets, and it provided a swift, hassle-free charge akin to that of a typical wall charger. And for owners of Samsung Galaxy phones, the Giga’s support for 45W Super-Fast Charging 2.0 might provoke tears of joy.

While testing the StuffCool Giga in various scenarios, I commenced with minor tasks – charging up my AirPods Pro 2 case and earphones. Both had dipped below 10%, and fully charging them consumed a mere 6% of the Giga’s capacity and took just under 15 minutes. I must admit, it handled the task effortlessly. Encouraged by this success, I proceeded to the iPhone 15 Pro. In one instance, I charged from 22% to 71% in just over half an hour, ultimately reaching 100% just before the 2-hour mark of total charging duration, which includes the normal “trickle charge” that occurs after 80% with iPhones. In another round of charging for the iPhone 15 Pro, it went from 4% to 100% in approximately an hour and 45 minutes, which is quite impressive – especially when considering the phone’s battery was nearly empty.
The actual assessment begins: my 15-inch Infinix laptop received a charge through the USB Type-C port. I commenced at 47% around 8:00 pm with the Giga fully charged. Within thirty minutes, the laptop battery surged to 62%. By 9:23 pm, the laptop reached 92%, while the Giga held onto 24% remaining. Achieving 100% on the laptop left around 7% in reserve – sufficient to recharge a phone by at least 35-40% in case of urgency.
A power bank’s effectiveness is determined by its recharging duration. Employing StuffCool’s 18W charger, I took approximately two and a half hours to escalate from 7% to 70% charge on the StuffCool Giga. However, utilizing a 67W charger (from Xiaomi), the Giga surged from nearly drained (1% charge) to completely full in roughly 90 minutes. This is a significant advantage if you are frequently on the move and can’t spare hours for your power bank to recharge.
The Giga is equipped with a Type-C port capable of delivering 65W, alongside a USB-A port at 18W for older gadgets or those that don’t necessitate rapid charging. I also tested the Giga with two Android phones simultaneously, and both charged effortlessly without any adapters or complications. This level of adaptability is what one would anticipate from a well-conceived power bank. Throughout the charging process, whether it was powering other devices or itself, the StuffCool Giga never overheated or felt warm to the touch.
Additional minor but significant specifics regarding the StuffCool Giga 65W include its production in India and BIS certification, which should alleviate the concerns of anyone worried about safety, compliance, or reliability. The presence of a built-in cable minimizes mess in your bag, and the LED indicators are sufficiently bright without being intrusive. While it’s priced somewhat higher than standard 20,000mAh power banks, its 65W output, enhanced charging protocols, and durable construction position the StuffCool Giga squarely for power users – or at least individuals like me who manage multiple devices each day.
It’s not frequent that a power bank gives me the impression of witnessing a genuine advancement in accessory design. However, the StuffCool Giga 65W Powerbank accomplished just that. Throughout several days, I nearly overlooked that it was “merely a power bank.” It began to feel more like an indispensable companion that ensured I remained charged up, regardless of the device I used with it. That’s all there is to say. If only it could brew me a cup of coffee while charging my phone, we would have the ultimate innovation.
If you are still hauling around a bulky, sluggish charging battery brick in your bag, the Giga deserves your attention. Whether students with numerous devices, business travelers who despise carrying multiple chargers, or even the everyday person seeking the liberty to charge a laptop without a power socket – this one hits all those marks. It may not be the most economical choice at ₹4,299, but you’re acquiring substantial performance and adaptability for that price tag – which, in my view, is justified.
