Maximas announced another round of crowdfunding for its Xtron USB Type-C power bank on Indiegogo and is offering the massive 13400 mAh battery-charging device for a limited-time price of $69.
Maximas claimed that the Xtron is the world's first "true and fastest" USB Type-C power bank, and it boasts an incredible 13400 mAh power capacity, high-quality Japanese battery cells (the same being used in Tesla batteries) and the ability to charge multiple high-powered devices simultaneously.
The Xtron is designed to work with the latest USB Type-C devices. There aren't many of those just yet, but a few are landing on the market, such as the new MacBook, the just-announced Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P smartphones, and the Chromebook Pixel. The device sports two USB Type-C ports and a USB Type-A port, and it can even power up multiple devices at once. Delivering 4.2 amps from the USB Type-C port, Maximas promised the Xtron will charge your devices faster than any other power bank available today.
The hand-held Xtron power bank is available now via Maximas' crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. For a donation of $69, supporters will receive a black or white Xtron power bank, with only 500 available of each color. The retail version of the Xtron will ship at $99. For an additional $10, Maximas will provide the separately-sold USB Type-C cables, which will also retail for a higher price of $19.
