The Baseus EnerGeek has earned the CES Innovation Awards 2025 Honoree title, and it’s easy to see why. This 20,000mAh power bank is a perfect travel companion, offering a power output of up to 67W via its three available ports; however, the standout feature is its ability to also serve as a Wi-Fi hotspot while you’re on the move.
This versatile MiFi power bank boasts a portable design and includes an integrated cable that can be converted into a handle or lanyard. Its compact size belies its hefty 20,000mAh capacity.
The Baseus EnerGeek is equipped with a built-in USB-C cable, two USB-C ports, and one USB-A port, all offering a maximum power delivery of 67 watts. It also features a small display that provides real-time updates on battery life and Wi-Fi status, and its design includes an expanded area for heat dissipation to ensure safe charging with multiple security protection features.
How does a Wi-Fi hotspot work on a power bank?
One of the standout features of the Baseus EnerGeek is its capability to function as a Wi-Fi hotspot for smartphones, laptops, and other devices. It supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, allowing the connection of up to eight devices at once. With upload speeds reaching 150Mbps and download speeds of 50Mbps, it provides ample speed for your internet needs. Additionally, it supports dual Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for enhanced convenience.
To activate the Wi-Fi hotspot feature, you’ll need an app to manage the eSIM option globally, which negates the need for physical SIM cards while traveling. You can purchase and recharge data via the Baseus app, which offers customizable data plans with no ongoing subscription fees.
The EnerGeek power bank ensures comprehensive coverage across U.S. mobile networks, supporting 13 global frequency bands. It is compatible across areas such as the U.S., Europe, India, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Canada, Singapore, and Australia, providing cross-regional 4G network services with claimed international roaming capabilities in over 100 countries.
Why it matters
The Baseus EnerGeek stands out as one of the most innovative power banks uncovered at CES 2025, addressing a significant challenge travelers often face.
If you're a digital nomad or remote worker, you know that ensuring reliable internet access is one of the first challenges to tackle when planning a trip. While I usually download an eSIM to my iPhone for hotspot needs, using a dedicated device like this one would conserve battery life on my iPhone 16 Pro, which is known for its less-than-stellar battery performance.
