If you’re a freelancer, student, or remote worker, you know the pain of running out of power at the worst time. For me, it happened mid-client call during a blackout. My laptop battery was fried, and I had no backup. That’s when I realized: I needed a serious power bank. Not just something to top up my phone, but a real workhorse.
That’s how I landed on the Oraimo PowerJet 130.
Three months later, I can confidently say this chunky beast has replaced my laptop charger—and I’m not going back.
Unboxing and First Impressions
I bought the PowerJet 130 for KES 8,000 (that’s NGN 79,500 in Nigeria), but you can get it for less using my discount code ABUGA on the Oraimo online shop. The code works in both Kenya and Nigeria and knocks 5% off your entire order, including cables and chargers.
Inside the box:
- The 27,600mAh PowerJet 130 itself
- A handy carry pouch
- A 100W USB-C cable
- User manual
Straight out of the box, this thing feels premium. Solid build, matte finish, and a slick display that only lights up when active—no cheap screens here.
Why This Power Bank Is a Game-Changer
This isn’t your average bank. Here’s the breakdown:
- USB-C 1 (In/Out): 100W max (Yes, it can charge your MacBook Pro).
- USB-C 2 (Out): 30W max.
- USB-A (Out): 22.5W max.
That means you can charge:
- A laptop at full speed.
- A phone with fast charging.
- A smartwatch or earbuds (without frying them).
I’ve personally charged:
- My laptop (no battery) ran directly for 13 straight hours.
- My phone multiple times (quick charge confirmed).
- Wireless earbuds and smartwatches without damaging them (it intelligently lowers output to 2W).
And yes—you can charge three devices simultaneously. I’ve done phone + laptop + earbuds at once, and it handled them like a champ.
Real-World Test: Replacing My Laptop Charger
This is where the Oraimo PowerJet 130 shines. My laptop battery is dead (removed), and I now use the power bank as a direct power source.
I connected it using my 65W Oraimo charging cable, and it powered the laptop up without flinching. Even without a battery, the laptop ran smoothly for hours. The display on the power bank showed real-time power draw—and I even charged my phone simultaneously.
For freelancers like me, this is a lifesaver during blackouts or when working remotely. I toss it in my bag with my laptop and boom, portable productivity for 10+ hours.
Here’s What You Need to Charge the Powerbank
This is a 27,600mAh battery, so it will obviously take time to refill unless you do it correctly by:
- Using a 15W charger: expect 6–12 hours.
- Using a 65W Oraimo charger: down to 1.5 hours.
I highly recommend pairing it with Oraimo’s 65W GaN charger, which I bought for KES 3,400. It’s tiny, efficient, and can even charge your laptop.
Smart Charging For Big and Small Devices
One feature that surprised me is auto current detection. I connected my Oraimo SpaceBuds (which need less than 5W), and the PowerJet 130 instantly dropped its output to 2W.
No manual switching, no risk of damaging sensitive electronics. If you’re charging earbuds, smartwatches, or fitness bands—this thing is smart enough to do it safely.
For bigger devices, it scales accordingly. MacBooks, HPs, Xiaomi phones, no problem.
Who Should Buy This Power Bank?
If any of these sound like you, this is 100% worth it:
- You work online or remotely and need backup power.
- Your laptop battery is weak or dead.
- You travel or commute and hate carrying your charger.
- You live in a place with frequent power cuts (hello Nigeria).
- You have multiple devices (phone, tablet, watch) and need to charge them all.
Final Verdict: This Power Bank Paid for Itself
After 3 months, I can confidently say the Oraimo PowerJet 130 is the best investment I’ve made this year for my freelance writing business. It hasn’t just charged my laptop—it’s replaced my entire laptop charger. For the price (especially with my 5% discount code), it’s unmatched in both performance and value.
