EcoFlow expands its product range

EcoFlow, primarily known for its high-end power stations, has expanded its product range to include portable solutions designed to prevent users from running out of battery power. The new product, the Rapid 20,000 mAh model, incorporates the X-Guard protection system found in larger EcoFlow stations and specifically targets owners of Samsung Galaxy devices, utilizing the brand's official fast charging technology.

Rapid 20,000 mAh Charge features integrated cable

The Rapid 20,000 mAh Charge rapid PPS 45 W model features a 25 cm USB-C cable directly fixed to the housing, which also functions as a strap for carrying the device. This integrated cable allows users to charge their smartphones without searching for a separate cable. However, the cable does not retract and remains exposed after charging is complete.

Charging limitations and multi-device use

The same cable can be used to carry the battery by hand. During charging, the smartphone remains attached to the battery, requiring users to hold both devices or place them side by side. To charge a tablet or headphones simultaneously, users must use the USB-C or USB-A port with their own cables.

Power distribution and charging speeds

The three outputs—integrated cable, USB-C port, and USB-A port—share a total of 45 watts. When multiple devices are connected, the Galaxy S25 Ultra no longer has access to its maximum fast charging speed. According to EcoFlow, the 45 W PPS standard, used by Samsung for its Super Fast Charging 2.0, allows a Galaxy S25 Ultra to charge from 0 to 50% in 30 minutes.

Battery capacity and suitability for devices

The battery's 20,000 mAh capacity provides up to three full charges for an iPhone, slightly more than three for a Galaxy S25, and up to 1.5 charges for a MacBook Air. EcoFlow states that this capacity is sufficient to last an entire weekend without needing to search for an outlet. For laptops, the battery is more suitable as a backup option.

Safety features and user guidance

The X-Guard protection system monitors overheating, overcharging, deep discharge, and short circuits in real time. EcoFlow claims that this allows the battery to be left connected to a phone overnight without risk. For comparisons with other models, users are directed to a guide on the best external batteries.
