Ambrane RAAP H100

If you’re looking for a compact and powerful charger to take care of all your needs, the RAAP H100 from Ambrane certainly fits the bill. I’ve been using one at home and while travelling for the past month and it’s brilliant. The H100 comes with GaNMAX technology using Gallium Nitride  for faster and more efficient charging. It can simultaneously power 4 devices utilising its four ports (3 USB-C and 1 USB-A). I managed to power my Macbook Pro and iPhone as well as an android phone simultaneously. Charging speeds depend on device, on average iPhones 50% charge in less than 30 mins, New android phones 80% in about 30 mins and MacBooks about 50% charge in 30 mins which is mighty impressive. The charger also features multi-layers of protection. INR 4,999* ambraneindia.com
