Recharge your MacBook with the dodocool USB C 20100 mAh battery

When we have to look for an external battery for our mobile devices the offer is really wide, but we want to go a little further and we want also charge our MacBook, That is why you have to pay attention a little and focus on recognized brands so as not to scare us with the load.

During this week we will make a couple of reviews of products that can be used to recharge our MacBook as well as iPhone, iPad and the like. External batteries with USB C output are increasingly present in the market and that is why we want to see some that help us to charge our equipment, in this case we have the 20100mAh dodocool with USB C input and 45w PD output and two USB A type.

The dodocool battery

We are facing a battery of large dimensions and moderate weight, but of course, we are talking about 20100 mAh to charge our MacBook or any equipment we want since it has several ports for it. A lithium battery made with quality components that will not represent any problem for our Mac, which avoids with its own protection overheating, short circuits, even unexpected overcharging.

It has 4 LED indicators that allow us to control the battery level at all times if we press the only physical button that the external battery has. As a protection measure, this dodocook turns off automatically after disconnecting the devices for approx. 15 seconds.

This is also important since the firm adds us in addition to the external battery itself, it adds a micro USB to USB cable to charge a device with this micro USB connector and un USB C to USB C cable that will help us to charge the battery itself and the MacBook or our team with USB Type C anywhere. The length of this cable is just over 25cm and it will serve us perfectly to load the equipment without disturbing it.

Keep in mind that this is not a light battery and it has a weight of just over half a kilo, specifically it has a weight of 621g, but that in a backpack or bag to carry our Mac it fits perfectly due to its dimensions: 19 x 6,5 x 1,5 cm. In short, it is not a large battery for the capacity it has and it really becomes very bearable in a section of the backpack.

How long does it take to charge the battery and how long does it last?

Well, according to the manufacturer, this dodocool needs about 3 hours to fully charge through a wall connector with USB C. In my case, I put it to charge with the MacBook 12-inch USB C charger, it took about 3:30 hours. Its large capacity of 20100 mAh means that a full charge can be used to simultaneously charge a MacBook and an iPhone at the same time without messing up.

The USB C port adds the PD technology at optimal speed, up to 45W, that allows us to quickly charge both the battery itself and the equipment that accepts this charge. In the case of USB A it has a maximum output of 2.4A what they call Smart AIQ technology, which is a smart fast charge so that our devices receive the necessary current and not overheat them.

Price

The price, but above all the general quality of the battery in terms of specifications and manufacturing materials, is the most important thing for us in these batteries, since they have to be connected to equipment that costs a lot of money and we do not want to spoil them due to a bad charge. In short and we can say that they have a correct operation in general.

La No products found. Undoubtedly this is one of the batteries that we recommend to those who have to spend many hours outside the office for work and it can be difficult to find a wall socket to charge the Mac, iPhone or iPad. Is about an external battery that offers us interesting specifications at a reasonable price, something that is difficult to achieve today with the number of models and brands in this type of accessories.
