Lenovo's Legion PB9 is a 170W power bank built for gaming laptops
Lenovo has unveiled the Legion PB9, a 24,000 mAh power bank rated at 170W — enough to charge a gaming laptop faster than many wall adapters. The unit packs 86.4Wh of lithium-ion capacity into a wedge-shaped shell and targets users who need full-speed charging away from a wall outlet. Right now it's only officially on sale in China, but Gizmochina confirms no international rollout has been announced.
The look
The PB9 ditches the standard slab shape for a triangular wedge profile, with semi-transparent panels and large "170W" lettering on the front — a deliberate cyberpunk aesthetic lifted straight from Lenovo's Legion gaming line. A small color display on the left side shows remaining charge, estimated time to full, and live input/output wattage. It's practical information delivered in a way that fits the gaming-gear look.
The power
Three ports sit on the top edge: two USB-C and one USB-A. A single USB-C port maxes out at 140W via PD 3.1 and Lenovo's own 140W protocol. The USB-A port delivers up to 30W. Combined, all ports together hit 170W total — though that ceiling is shared across devices. Specific split modes include 100W + 65W across both USB-C ports, and 140W + 30W when mixing USB-C and USB-A. Running all three simultaneously drops to 65W + 65W + 18W.
Supported charging standards are comprehensive: PD 3.1/3.0/2.0, PPS, Quick Charge 4.0/3.0, Apple 5V/2.4A, BC1.2, AFC, and Lenovo's own 140W protocol. The casing uses a VO flame-retardant material and carries 3C certification — China's safety standard, broadly equivalent to CE.

Availability and price
The Legion PB9 launched in China priced at roughly $80 (converted from yuan). Dimensions are 171.2 × 70.5 × 61.8 mm and it weighs around 710g — noticeably heavier than a standard power bank, but in line with the capacity. Third-party retailer Voptronics lists US and UK as eligible shipping destinations, which contradicts the China-only framing, though no official Lenovo.com US or UK product page exists yet. No US MSRP, UK RRP, or major retailer partnership has been confirmed. At $80, the PB9 sits between mid-range portable chargers ($50–$100) and full laptop power adapters ($100–$150) — a competitive slot if Lenovo follows through with a proper Western launch.
