REVIEW – Being able to work off of the grid is ideal for me even when I am at home and using my mobile devices. I like to be able to work wherever I want to even if there is no electrical outlet nearby or without having to run extension cords. During this time as I write this review while in quarantine because of the Coronavirus, I have my favorite getaway spots even within the confines of my home. So, what do I need to help my devices to remain powered on for hours without plugging in? The RAVPower 30000mAh 100W Power Bank 60W PD 3.0 Output AC Portable Charger looks like a capable power source.

All of the connectivity is on one side of this Power Bank. As shown below, from left to right there is a USB-C Power Delivery port, 2 USB-A charging ports, the AC power outlet on/off button and the 3-prong AC outlet.
On the opposite side, there is a cooling fan under a vent.
On the large top surface of the Power Bank, there is the branding and the charge indicator LEDs.
Performance
When you connect a device to the power bank to charge/power it, or when you press the AC button, the LEDs on the surface show the level of the remaining charge.
I have been using this Power Bank daily to power an add-on USB HD monitor, and after approximately 9 hours, there are still 3 LEDs lit so there is still a decent amount of power left.
The quick charge is also very convenient and does charge my iPhone quickly.
What I like
- The solid build quality
- The charge capacity
- The versatility and types of ports
What I’d change
- This Power Bank does exactly what it is designed to do
Final thoughts
This Power Bank has nice features including a large battery capacity. The QC port is a plus for my heavily used cell phone and the USB-C Power Delivery port works great when using my iPad or MacBook Pro. The AC outlet is also a great convenience that will be especially helpful during a blackout. I give it a well done and two thumbs up!!

So, a bit confusing, on the RavPower site I see a model RP-PB055 and wonder if that is the 30,000 mAh model listed on Amazon or an older model at 27,000?
Adding to the mystery — the specs on the back of the 30,000 RP-PB055 say 30,000 but on the RavPower site the same model says 27,000. So, which is it?
