Our verdict
While the Flash Pro Plus is impressive in terms of charging speed and multiple outputs, it’s simply too massive and costly for me. If you have the money, it’s a good device, but I have a tough time imagining paying more than $250 for faster charging.

- Fast charging
- Solid construction
If, like me, you spend a lot of time moving from place to place, a power bank is a must-have. Still, with so many options, it can be tough to choose which one to get. Luckily, the good people at Chargeasap made it straightforward for me by sending me Payment as soon as possible Flash Pro Plustop-class power bank of this brand, to try out. So let’s get to work.
Before I get into the details, I have to mention that the Flash Pro Plus is very costly. I’ve never spent more than about $50 on a power bank; this thing costs $289 according to the official website Page Fee. Yes, it’s more costly than many of the best budget gaming phones and even some of the best portable gaming consoles, but is it worth it? Well, that’s a complicated question.
So let’s start with the positives. If you have multiple devices to charge at once, the Flash Pro Plus has everything you need. It has three USB-C outputs, one USB-A output, MagSafe wireless charging for iPhone, and a wireless output for Apple Watch. In terms of power, the USB-C outputs are 100W, 60W, and 20W, and the UCB-A is 50W, while the wireless charging is 15W for iPhone and 5W for Apple Watch. I say iPhone because Chargeasap aimed this product at Apple users, while the regular Flash Pro is better suited for Android.

I admit I would have preferred two USB-C and two USB-A, but USB-C is becoming more popular and USB-A is shrinking, so it’s probably the better choice in the long run. The magnetic wireless charger is also a nice touch, since it’s often too straightforward to turn off your phone’s charging without realizing it.
Not only does this power bank offer multiple outputs, but it charges more than just phones. I’m not just talking about low-capacity accessories like wireless headphones; this device can charge a Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and a laptop, all at the same time. If you’re using all six outputs—four cables and wireless charging for your iPhone and Apple Watch—then the 100W USB-A output drops to 60W, and the 60W output drops to 45W. Even with that drop, though, you won’t find anything this rapid or with as many outputs on the market, and 60W is still rapid enough to fully charge the best Android phones in under two hours.
As for the power bank itself, it also charges pretty quickly. I managed to charge it from zero to 100% in about an hour and 15 minutes. On a full charge, you can get about five or six full juices out of the 25,000mAh graphene composite battery inside the Flash Pro Plus, and even more if your phone has a lower-capacity 3,000 or 4,000mAh battery.
For those who don’t know, a graphene-composite battery like this is much more productive than the lithium-polymer battery in cheaper power banks. They also last longer, with Chargeasap suggesting a five-year lifespan despite only offering a two-year warranty. I’ll have to re-read this review in 2029 to tell you if that’s true.
Another perk of the Flash Pro Plus is its 1.3-inch OLED display, which lets you see the power output of each connection. This is especially useful for a hardware writer like me who constantly tests the charging speeds and power of smartphones and portable consoles, but even if you’re a casual user, it’s nice to know how productive your device and the cables you might be using are.
So those are the pros, but unfortunately it’s not just the price that makes me a little skeptical about the Flash Pro Plus. For lack of a better word, this thing is an aluminum tank. It’s massive, bulky, and it’s not winning any beauty contests. While aesthetics aren’t a massive deal for a power bank, the weight can be a bit off-putting. When I’m looking for a up-to-date power bank, I look for something that feels super portable. At 583g, this thing is heavier than three iPhone 15s combined. To me, that doesn’t feel super portable.
It’s worth saying that while the Flash Pro Plus isn’t extremely portable, it is incredibly tough. Not only is it protected to employ on a plane – it’s both TSA and EASA approved – but I think you could probably throw it out of one and it’d be fine. Of course, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, and I wouldn’t recommend trying it, but I have no doubt that if I accidentally dropped this thing down a flight of stairs or onto tough concrete, it wouldn’t shatter.
While the included case adds a bit to portability, I’m not sure the rapid charging and multiple outputs make up for the Flash Pro Plus’s weight penalty. I like to travel delicate, and my aged, battered power bank isn’t the fastest charger and isn’t compatible with my Steam Deck, but it takes up minimal space in my backpack.
In conclusion, I would have to say that the Flash Pro Plus is the best power bank I have ever used. However, considering how costly it is, it should be. Whether it is worth it or not depends on how much you value multiple outlets and rapid charging speeds, although personally I would be tough pressed to spend almost $300 on a power bank. However, if you have the money, you might as well buy the best one there is.
