Peripheral manufacturers are introducing new USB-C compatible powerbanks to their line-ups. With new portable devices such as 2017 MacBook Pro and Nintendo Next supporting USB-C charging, manufacturers have developed a new line up of portable charging devices capable of charging these high-draw devices.

As a trend, we have noticed that manufacturers are moving away from Quick Charge and Power IQ chips in favor of in-house chips that support the similar charge configurations. At first thought, this may seem to be a way to avoid certification fees for the official labels. But, at second glance, we see a large degree of marketing and branding around their in-house chips, indicating that there may be true competition in this space. All manufacturers we investigated boasted improvements in their chipsets which allowed them to claim superiority and speed advantages over OEM chargers and their competition.

The three we listed in the table above were selected as recent releases that take advantage of new chipsets, USB-C, and market themselves as compatabile with a wide range of high-draw devices.
