Thanks to a reader in Hong Kong, we get to see information on a product that Emerson Gear is about to release this year --- a PMAG-Style Power Bank. It looks actually cool as you can bring a power bank with you to the airsoft field that will not look out of place as you it will look like just another STANAG magazine in your M4 pouch.

Since it is a power bank, you can charge your devices in the field in case they run out of juice such as your mobile devices and action cameras. Too bad it is not designed to be an on the spot charger for AEG batteries as it would be totally neat if it can do. As to being a power bank that you can carry for everyday use, we are still a bit apprehensive as it may just raise an alarm in public places that it might just become more of an inconvenience instead of being a useful power bank.

We do like the capacity of the Emerson Gear PMAG-Style Power Bank, as it has a large capacity of 14400Mah that can charge your smart phone several times. As for output it is 5V2A (10W supply) which hopefully your device can accept an even bigger output for faster charging, but usually your device will draw power as to how it is designed to be (eg. If it is 5W, then it will draw 5W even when using a 10W wall charger).

We would have preferred that it has to charging ports so you can charge two devices at the same time as many higher capacity power banks now feature two charging ports. As to charging the powerbank, it still uses a Micro-USB port so if you use an Android phone, chances are you can its charger as it is usually is a Micro-USB male that will fit the PMAG-Style Power Bank.

Emerson Gear is planning to release this next month in black and dark earth colors. No pricing yet was announced, but you can ask the Hong Kong based gear sellers when the will be expecting this to be stock, including pricing. Now, if they can make different types of magazine-style power banks, it would be interesting to know if they are planning to do so.
