Ugreen has recently launched two new Power Delivery GaN chargers with an integrated LCD screen.
The larger 20000mAh model, with the model number PB721, is capable of up to 130W total output with a maximum of 100W for USB-C 1.
The smaller PB724 model has a 12000mAh battery capacity and can output up to 100W on its USB-C port.
Both power banks can accept up to 65W input.
Both chargers are similar to the new Anker Prime power banks, albeit not as quite well specced.

Performance
Both power banks performed as expected. I tested them with a variety of devices and checked the performance using an EcoFlor portable power station, the Anker Prime 20,000mAh power bank, which has an LCD to show the power input/output and a USB power meter.
For all my tests, the power banks achieved the claimed output.
For the capacity, you have to look at rated capacity rather than cell capacity. This is because most power banks are created using Li-ion batteries that use a different USB voltage. The standard voltage of any USB port will be 5V, though this can go up to 20V with power delivery.
For the 12000mAh Ugreen, the capacity is listed at 44.4Wh, and the larger model is 72Wh.
Both power banks achieved just under this with an efficiency of over 80%, which is typical for most decent power banks.

Overall
Both the Ugreen Nexode Power Banks are excellent.
The overall specification isn’t quite as good as the Anker equivalent, but the price undercuts by a significant amount, making them both very appealing.
My only minor criticism is that I would have liked it if they had accepted a higher power input for faster charging.
Overall, I can strongly recommend both Ugreen Nexode Power Banks with the new Smart Digital Display.
