The accessory includes a 19,500 mAh battery, which Mophie said will provide up to 14 hours of extra battery, or &#8220;more than one full charge&#8221; to a MacBook.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2017\/08\/mophie-powerstation-usb-c.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"671\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-579087\"\/><br \/>The Powerstation USB-C XXL includes one USB-C port and one 5V\/2.4A USB-A port, so users can simultaneously charge an iPhone or iPad as they charge their MacBook. The top of the accessory is wrapped in a soft-touch fabric, which Mophie said helps keep other devices in a bag safe from scratches when traveling.<\/p>\n<p>Mophie&#8217;s new accessory can charge a MacBook at full speed thanks to included USB power delivery technology in the USB-C port, which can charge a connected MacBook at rapid charging rates of up to 30 watts. While 30 watts isn&#8217;t enough to keep up with a MacBook Pro under heavy load, the battery can still recharge a MacBook Pro in sleep mode or at least slow the battery drain while the computer is in use.<\/p>\n<p>Like other Mophie products, the Powerstation USB-C XXL also includes priority charging, so when it&#8217;s connected to a wall adapter the battery pack will send power to a connected device first, then recharge itself.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<div id=\"video-wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Om6EEqj1fDk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/center><br \/>Mophie&#8217;s PowerStation USB-C XXL is available to buy for $149.95 on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mophie.com\/shop\/powerstation-USBC-XXL\">Mophie.com<\/a>, Apple.com, and in Apple retail stores beginning today, although it hasn&#8217;t yet appeared on Apple&#8217;s website at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macworld.com\/article\/3211494\/macbook-accessories\/best-power-delivery-2-usb-c-battery-packs.html\">there are other options on the market<\/a> if you&#8217;re looking for USB-C battery packs with power delivery specifications, all of which offer higher capacities at prices lower than Mophie&#8217;s accessory, although Mophie&#8217;s design standards and favored relationship with Apple contribute toward its products&#8217; popularity with consumers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mophie today announced the release of a new high capacity mobile battery called the Powerstation USB-C XXL, which is aimed at the latest MacBook and MacBook Pro models.
