A new portable power bank from EcoFlow aims to solve a common traveler frustration: losing or forgetting charging cables. The 45W model integrates a retractable USB-C cable and a foldable AC plug directly into the device. Users no longer need to carry separate cords or wall adapters.

Built-in Cable Eliminates Hassle

The retractable cable extends up to 0.8 meters and snaps back into the unit with a button press. This design prevents tangling and reduces the chance of leaving cables behind. The power bank also includes a standard USB-A port for legacy devices. The built-in AC plug allows direct wall charging without an extra brick.

EcoFlow rates the battery at 10,000mAh. That capacity is enough to charge a typical smartphone twice or a tablet once. The 45W output supports fast charging for compatible phones, laptops and other USB-C devices. The device itself recharges in about two hours when plugged into a wall outlet.

Power and Portability

At roughly the size of a deck of cards, the power bank fits easily into a pocket or small bag. The all-in-one design reduces the number of items a traveler must carry. EcoFlow says the unit uses high-density battery cells to keep weight low while maintaining capacity.

The built-in AC plug supports multiple voltage standards, making it suitable for international travel with the right adapter. Safety features include overcharge protection and temperature monitoring. The USB-C cable supports data transfer as well as charging, though the primary use is power delivery.

Why This Matters

For frequent travelers and commuters, losing or forgetting a charging cable often means a dead phone at the worst time. This power bank removes that risk by bundling everything into a single device. It also cuts down on the clutter of multiple cables and adapters.

Retractable cable designs are not new, but combining them with a built-in wall plug in a compact 45W power bank is less common. EcoFlow targets users who prioritize simplicity and reliability over raw battery capacity. The product addresses a real pain point in portable charging: the dependency on separate accessories that are easy to misplace.

The power bank is available now through EcoFlow's website and select retailers. Pricing sits at the premium end of the portable charging market. For users who value convenience and durability, the investment may pay off in saved time and frustration.
