Bring Your Own Cable to Charge the Ravi 26800mAh Portable Charger with Type C Port + 30W Type-C AC Charger

The RAVPower Xtreme 26800mAh Portable Charger with Type C Port + 30W Type-C AC Charger is one of the premium charger offerings from RAVPower.  RAVPower Xtreme 26800mAh Portable Charger with Type C Port + 30W Type-C AC Charger actually comes with both a USB Power Delivery based portable battery as well as a USB Power Delivery charger.

The USB Power Delivery based portable battery supports 15 watts (5 volts @ 3 amps), 18 watts (9 volts @ 2 amps), 30 watts (15 volts @ 2 amps), and 30 watts (20 volts @ 1.5 amps) over its USB Type-C port.  It also has two USB Type-A ports which each individually can charges at 12 watts (5 volts @ 2.4 amps) but if both ports are used at the same time, both ports can only delivery up to a combined 3.4 amps.  

The 30 watts USB Type-C AC Charger accessory can be used to charge both the battery as well as other USB Type-C based phones, tablets, and small form factor notebooks.

We purchased the RAVPower Xtreme 26800mAh Portable Charger with Type C Port + 30W Type-C AC Charger from our Amazon Prime Service.

The box came within a couple days without any damage.

Opening up the box, we can see that the RAVPower Xtreme 26800mAh Portable Charger with Type C Port + 30W Type-C AC Charger comes with several items including the portable battery, charger, two USB Type-A to Micro-B cables, one USB Type-C to Micro-B adapter, battery carrying bag, and documentation.

The charger itself can also output 15 watts (5 volts @ 3 amps), 18 watts (9 volts @ 2 amps), 30 watts (15 volts @ 2 amps), and 30 watts (20 volts @ 1.5 amps).

For some odd reason, the RAVPower Xtreme 26800mAh Portable Charger with Type C Port + 30W Type-C AC Charger does not come with a USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable to charge USB Type-C devices.  This means you need to buy or reuse another USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable.

The only USB Type-C accessory is the USB Type-C to Micro-B adapter which if used, will not carry any USB Power Delivery negotiation due to lack of CC line. 

The two USB Type-A to micro B cables are useful for charging legacy Android phones.

On the battery itself, the power indicator button is on one of the corners on the top face.

All the USB connections are on one end of the battery.  Strangely, the input uses a micro USB Type-B connector which doesn't support fast charging through USB Power Delivery.  To get the fastest charging, you should use a USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable between the included charger and the battery but it's perplexing why RAVPower does not include this cable with the RAVPower Xtreme 26800mAh Portable Charger with Type C Port + 30W Type-C AC Charger.
