The HyperJuice 245W GaN Desktop Charger and the 245WUSB-C Battery Pack are now available for $200 and $250, respectively. According to a story from AppleInsider, it looks like both quietly went on sale last week, but Hyper's official announcement is somewhat confusing.

The headline feature is not enough to provide all the power to a single device, and there is no support for fast charging at up to 120W. The focus is on charging multiple power hungry devices at the same time.

One or two devices can be charged at up to 100W each. The third device will be limited to 45 watt. Only one device will be able to go up to 100W and the other three will be limited to 45W. 100W is enough to fast-charge the 14-inch MacBook Pro, and the base M2 MacBook Air comes with just a 30W brick.

The same thing happened with the 245W battery pack. It is small enough to fit on a plane. You can keep an eye on its remaining charge levels with a small built-in display. Depending on what your device requires, the battery pack can distribute that watt in a variety of ways. For a full breakdown, check out the table.

Even though the battery pack and charger are more portable, they are still a lot more compact than carrying around four charging bricks, which could make them useful for anyone who has to carry a lot of power hungry accessories. I think battery packs like these are going to become more and more common as more and more power is provided over a universal cable.
