Cygnett dominates CHOICE list for Best Mobile Power Banks

Australia's largest digital accessories brand, Cygnett, dominates CHOICE list for Best Mobile Power Banks.

MARCH 2023

Cygnett, Australia’s largest digital accessories brand, best known for its reliable, design-driven portable power banks, dominates a recent list of the best mobile power banks in CHOICE magazine’s latest review of the market’s top-performing power banks.

CHOICE is an independent, nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. The review is available in CHOICE magazine’s March print edition as well as online at choice.com.au.

In a comprehensive review of 33 power banks five of Cygnett’s power banks ranked in the top 7 power banks reviewed.

Overall, Cygnett had more power banks earning a score over 80% than any other power bank reviewed and CHOICE’s reviewers make more recommendations for Cygnett power banks than any other power bank brand.

CHOICE tested approximate charge time, approximate portable battery recharge time, the size and weight of the power bank and the usable capacity of each power bank.

The top-ranking Cygnett Power Bank reviewed is the Cygnett ChargeUp Edge+ 12,000 Qi Power Bank that retails on cygnett.com for $129 and earned a score of 85% by CHOICE. (See our new ChargeUp Edge+ 27,000mAh Power Bank here). A breakdown in score includes a 92% performance score, the ability to charge wirelessly and can charge a laptop while the $84.95 Cygnett ChargeUp Boost 3rd Generation 20k Power Bank scored a rating of 84%. Both Power Banks rank in the top four products out of the 33 power banks tested and reviewed and can also charge a Nintendo Switch via a USB-C cable.

Some highlights are:

• TheCygnett ChargeUp Edge+ 12,000 Qi Power Bank scored the highest capacity performance score of 92%. (See our new ChargeUp Edge+ 27,000mAh Power Bank here) 

• Three Cygnett Power Banks earned the highest multiple device score in the top 7 power banks reviewed

• Three Cygnett Power Banks earned the highest ease of use score in the top 7 power banks reviewed

• Two of the top ranking Cygnett Power Banks can also fit in a jacket pocket, and one of them, the Cygnett ChargeUp Swift, weighs just 295 grams and can also charge wirelessly

“We appreciate the diligent testing and reviewing process that CHOICE undertakes to help consumers make informed purchasing decisions. Having an independent review further cements our commitment to excellence,” says Cygnett CEO, Paul Santoro. “One tip we think consumers will find useful to know is that for safety reasons, power banks are not fully charged at the time of purchase. We encourage customers to anticipate a new power bank to be charged at less than 100% and then once it’s in use it can be charged to the power bank’s full capacity,” explains Santoro.

“From our research, we know that 30% of our customers are repeat buyers to our website and that half of all customers refer a friend to visit Cygnett.com. Our fast-charging power banks are our fastest growing product range and some of our power banks can also function as a docking station,” adds Santoro.

Cygnett’s own website, cygnett.com has experienced 300% growth over the past four years attracting over a million visitors to the site. 2023 marks 20 years of Cygnett being a market leader in technology tools including back up power, cables, cords and protection for tech devices including phones, tablets and laptops. Cygnett’s latest 118 w pro series laptop power bank is arguably the most powerful portable power available. Plus, Cygnett’s 100W and 70W wall chargers are amongst the fastest charging wall chargers available.

Cygnett is not only a market leader in fast charging products, it’s also one of the tech industry’s fastest growing scale ups. Its global expansion into over 40 countries firmly entrenches Cygnett as a scale up technology business that helps people protect their devices and stay fully charged.

Cygnett’s Australian stockists include JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, Big W, Costco, Target Australia, Telstra, Optus, W H Smith, Newslink and more.

In addition to being naming rights sponsors to the Opals and Australian Women’s National Basketball League, Cygnett also supports a number of charities and organisations including Share the Dignity, Igniting Change, the Million Dollar Lunch, Children’s Giving Organisation Lunch, My Room, Children’s Cancer Centre, Royal Children’s Hospital, St Vincent’s Hospital and many local schools.
