The year is 2025 and we’re all lucky enough to be carrying tiny little power computers in our pockets, tablets and laptops in our bags and even cutting-edge gaming tech with us on a day-to-day basis. But the one thing that I still seem to be bashing my ahead against is battery…
| Pros | Cons |
| Great battery life USB-C & A options Sturdy design Glanceable display | Aesthetic might be a bit much for some Potentially ‘fragile’ material around display area |
The starship 27600 has, as you might expect, a 27,600mAh capacity, which claims to charge an average iPhone 16 3 and a half to 4 times. It comes with 2 USB-C ports and a single USB-A port as well as an intelligent LED display that is honestly a lot more useful than thought it would be. This means it will charge pretty much any device that you carry around with you day-to-day for a little extra juice, but most importantly for me during my review is it’s air airline compliant, which means it’s not such a giant battery that I can’t take it on a plane, which is what I did during this review.
I’m really impressed by this bit of kit; it’s really well put together. It’s got a fair bit of weight to it, but it’s a battery, so that makes sense. The plastics are all pretty nicely made and it has an almost sci-fi look to it. It’s about the size of a flashlight and has the AoHi signature black and yellow design which I quite like. I’ve taken a look at some accessories from AoHi before, and they’ve got a good aesthetic and feel about them.
One of the more interesting elements of the ‘Future Starship’ is the big glass panel that runs across one side. This is where you find the LED display that gives the battery percentage as well as active information on how much power is flowing to and from the device during charging. One thought that I did have is that it’s a really big area of glass/plastic serving a comparatively small display. This glass/plastic definitely feels like the one area that could break if it takes a bump and so having it take up such a huge part of the product feels like a bit of an odd move for a small display area.
In terms of performance…it definitely charges things. It did that job really well. Everything that I plugged in has ended up charging nicely. Over a four-day trip in Paris, I was charging everything we had from and iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 16 to iPads, Apple Watches and even a little gaming handheld. Not once did I have to recharge the battery and thats about as much as I could as of it.
I also wasn’t stopped in any airport and no one took it off me so I can confirm that it’s a good choice for flying too.
Ultimately I feel this does what you kind of want a battery to do. I charged it before leaving. It’s charged multiple devices repeatedly several times and I’ve not once over a four-day trip had to worry about whether or not I have power available. What more can you ask from a portable battery?
When talking about price; this product is currently listed at $199 RRP but is currently discounted. We don’t like to hang on prices too much. If you read this at the day of publishing, that price would be accurate but a year from get a very different number. What I do think is important for me to stress is that at $200, this product works out at about the same price as competitors on the market. At a discounted price, I think it’s a great buy.
Conclusion
The future starship 240W 27,600mAh powerbank is great. I don’t want to get too crazy about a battery, but while travelling it kept both mine and my family’s devices charged across the entire four-day trip. It looks cool and sleek if you’re like AoHi’s brand and aesthetic, and I suspect this is going to have a firm spot in my backpack going forward.
