ELE Thunder powerbank with QC 3.0 is here

Martin FabianOctober 1, 2016

First Elephone powerbank product is here and the chinese manufacturer is trying to enter the market in style with ELE Thunder, because it’s just overflowing with features and latest technologies. Of course as most of the higher end devices it’s not exactly cheap but that’s the price for evolution.

Most important feature of the ELE Thunder is the Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 support allowing the devices being charge up to four times faster than with conventional charging means. It also employs the smart Intelligent Negotiation for Optimum Voltage (INOV) algorithm, which can determine the optimal voltage for the connected device.

ELE Thunder carries a hefty 16000 mAh capacity using high-end LG chips with allegedly very high 95 % conversion rate. The powerbank’s design is very interesting with metal and rubber oil coating resembling some rugged type of external harddisks. With 296 g of weight and 15.3cm x6.5cm x 2.3cm dimensions it’s fairly light compared to similar products and offers all the important ports with USB Type-C, normal USB and micro-USB.

The company promises also very fast charging times for the powerbank itself, 8000 mAh level should be reached in just 2 hours. Currently it’s available from the official Elephone store for $44.99 in the black/gold combination only, although black/red and white/rose gold should be up for grabs later on too.

You can find more information about ELE Thunder in here or here. Another interesting piece of info just landed from the Elephone too, seems like they have a “large group of QC 3.0 devices” coming and im quite curious. Let’s wait and see.

  Agree a little on the expensive side when summing up the needs of users and what’s available with less features. $30 more attune to market.

This is not their 1st power bank! is this?? If I’m not wrong, then there was another Power bank produced by Elephone which had quick charge 2. I saw the price but still quick charge 3.0 enabled power power bank at $45 is not that high.

Aha nice design, I agree that price is slightly high for Quick charging technology but then it’s 16,000 mAh shere as it could be 20,000 mAh.

nice color options but VINSIC also giving quick charge 3 with 20,000 mAh at just $12!!!! check at Aliexpress. From that perspective I would say this pricing will matter.

do you know if type-c port can be used to charge the power bank?
I mean,. Type A and Type-C ports are only for output charging?
btw it’s a really good device.. i wonder if it’s compatible with Mediatek Pump Express .. also because Elephone never produced a Qualcomm smartphone with QC3 (only the Snap 410 used in Trunk.. but no Quick Charge for that)..
