Specifications and sources

What independent testers found

Techtest, Michael Barton

Measured 30.434 Wh at 5 V/1 A from a 213 g sample. That supports an estimated 2.16 charges of a reference 12 Wh phone after the site's phone-loss allowance; sustained maximum output caused heat-related interruptions.

techAU, Neerav Bhatt

Several weeks of Pixel 8 Pro use showed convenient pocket charging with the built-in cable. The reviewer found the screen hard to read in bright sunshine and worried about the exposed cable snagging.

What owners report

Best Buy owners repeatedly like the built-in cable and portable size, but report widely differing numbers of phone charges; many reviews are incentivised. An owner who identifies A1259 reports an iPhone 15 Pro charging-direction problem, which is an isolated compatibility report.

Limits and cautions

  • The tester records 36 Wh, slightly below the 37 Wh guide. The maker page gives mAh only; no nominal voltage has been assumed.
  • The two-charge estimate uses a 12 Wh reference battery, not two observed cycles of a named phone. Larger phones and use while charging reduce it.
  • This is the A1259 with a fixed cable, not the newer retractable Nano. Lightning phones require a separate compatible cable.
  • Treat 30 W as a maximum, not sustained laptop power. The built-in cable can snag; separate USB-C and USB-A ports remain available.
  • Public model-specific conformity and detailed protection documentation were not verified. Euronics states a 24-month warranty and provides an Irish returns route.
