The Halo Bolt has 58,830mWh of battery power within, and the official description suggests that it can provide up to several hours of additional usage for a MacBook Pro or iPad Air. Lifewire / Andrew Hayward Charging Speed and Battery: Not so long-lasting The right side, meanwhile, has the 115V AC/65W max AC power plug input for laptop chargers and other plug-in devices.

It’s made of mostly thick black plastic outside, including a glossy brushed silver top layer with an imprinted Halo logo. Smaller, cheaper battery packs are available for smartphones, but this beast is made for heavier-duty needs and is designed accordingly. This big brick of a battery pack comes in at 7.2 x 1.6 x 3.8 inches (HWD) with a weight of more than 1.5 pounds. While certainly portable, the Halo Bolt isn’t designed to be pocket-friendly.

This heavy brick of a portable charger proves to be a handy tool, especially in the car-whether for emergencies or when you need to top up a device while you’re away from home. There are all sorts of portable laptop chargers designed for smartphones, tablets, laptops, and mobile game systems, but the Halo Bolt one-ups them in one fundamental respect: it can also jump-start your car.
