In a space that is dominated by a grey market laden with cheap, affordable options, Spigen has managed to carve a niche for itself purely based on the quality of its accessories. Spigen’s products do not start out as being super affordable but often get price cuts with the passage of time, making them much more pocket-friendly. One of these is the Spigen ArcPack dual portable power bank, a sleek 10,000 mAh power bank with support for wireless charging that was originally launched at Rs. 2,799, but is now available for as little as Rs 999 on a number of e-commerce portals. At that price getting a power bank with 10000 mAh capacity from a renowned brand is rare, leave alone getting one with support for wireless charging.

Typically solid, clean Spigen design

One of the most distinct features of Spigen’s products is their design. The brand has clean, minimalist design in general and that is reflected in the ArcPack. The power bank’s design is nothing out of the ordinary – Spigen has not reinvented the wheel here but there are little touches that make the powerbank more sleek and easier to carry. It is a rectangular slab which is about the size of a smartphone and measures ‎74.5 x 152 x 15.5 mm but is slightly heavier at 237 grams. Those are very good numbers for a 10000 mAh power bank.

The ArcPack curves smoothly around the edges but is flat around the sides, giving it a very solid hand-feel. One of the longer sides carries the power button near the base while the other has five tiny LEDs to show charging and remaining battery status. On one of the shorter sides is a USB A port for output, and right next to it is the USB Type C port for input and output. The front of the powerbank has a silicon anti-slip circular band, which is the wireless charging area, and there is a Spigen logo inside it.

Unfortunately, it is not magnetic and has no MagSafe supportso devices will not stick to it. The back is plain. The power bank is available only in black colour and comes with a matte texture, which makes it less prone to scratches and smudges. The ArcPack is not bulky and can easily fit in a jacket pocket or even a small handbag. There is also a Type-C to Type-C cable in the box.

A wired, wireless–can do it all

The Spigen ArcPack dual portable power bank is a pretty steady, if not spectacular performer. It comes with a 10000 mAh capacity, and delivers charging speeds of 18W over the USB Type A port and 20W over the USB Type C port, and up to 15W wirelessly with supported devices.

Those are not staggering figures but are more than adequate for most requirements – it can easily fully charge a big battery (about 6000 – 7000 mAh) phone once, and can also charge TWS with wireless charging support many times, although smartwatches are not supported. 20W might not sound like a lot, but it can get quite a lot of juice into your phone in about half an hour of charging, and is certainly a very decent proposition at this price point.

The wireless charging is best used for TWS rather than phones. We charged our AirPods 4 and OnePlus Buds Pro 3 multiple times and the power bank charged them up pretty swiftly. Phones are a slightly tricky proposition because even though the wireless charging area on the power bank is clearly marked, it is hard to find the right spot for charging a phone, and sometimes the slightest move disconnects it.

Mind you, when we found the sweet spot, the charging process was pretty seamless and worked well even when the phone was in a case. As there is no support for MagSafe, you cannot carry the powerbank and the phone together without breaking the charging connection – you have to treat it like a charging mat where you keep your phone and leave it.

The charging output does go down when one starts charging multiple devices. Both the USB A and the Type C port deliver 10W charges when used with multiple devices while the wireless charging output drops to 5W. Those are rather slow, which is why we suggest using the ArcPack with one device at a time. The power bank itself takes about four hours to charge fully, so we advise keeping an eye on its battery levels.

All said and done, the Spigen ArcPack dual portable powerbank is a rock solid proposition at its reduced price, and is perhaps the best 10000 mAh power bank that you can get for under a thousand Rupees from a brand as reputed as Spigen. It ticks the wired as well as as wireless boxes and while it is not crazy fast, it is a great option for those who want a sleek, relatively lightweight power bank that can keep their devices ticking over for not too much.
