Lenovo has introduced the Legion P5 power bank, a compact yet powerful charging solution scheduled for release in China on May 19 at approximately $25. This device offers a 10,000mAh battery capacity combined with up to 100W fast charging, making it suitable for a range of gadgets including laptops and smartphones.
Key Features of the Lenovo Legion P5 Power Bank
The Legion P5 stands out with a built-in USB-C cable measuring about 24 centimeters, crafted from soft silicone to withstand frequent bending and easy portability in bags or pockets. Its design draws inspiration from Lenovo’s Legion gaming line, featuring a mech-style aesthetic that appeals to tech enthusiasts.
On the front panel, a digital display provides live data such as current charging wattage, remaining battery percentage, and status indicators for input and output ports.

Battery and Internal Components
Inside, the power bank incorporates four 18650 automotive-grade cylindrical cells supplied by EVE Energy, delivering a rated energy capacity of 36.72Wh. This ensures reliable performance and longevity aligned with automotive standards.
Charging Ports and Output
The Legion P5 offers three charging options: the integrated USB-C cable, a secondary USB-C port, and a USB-A port. Single USB-C port usage can achieve the full 100W power output, while the USB-A port supports up to 30W. However, when charging multiple devices simultaneously, the combined output is limited to 20W.
The device also supports pass-through charging, allowing the power bank itself to recharge from a wall outlet while concurrently powering connected devices.
Compatibility and Charging Protocols
Lenovo has equipped the Legion P5 to support various charging standards, including Power Delivery 3.0 (PD 3.0), Programmable Power Supply (PPS), Qualcomm Quick Charge (QC), and Motorola’s 68W Turbo Power. Additionally, a low-current charging mode designed for small accessories like smartwatches and earbuds can be activated by holding the power button for three seconds.
Design, Certification, and Portability
Measuring 141 x 63.6 x 24mm and weighing 296 grams, the Legion P5 is lightweight and pocket-friendly. It has received China’s 3C safety certification for both its battery cells and main unit, ensuring compliance with electrical safety standards. The power bank is also approved for airline travel, providing peace of mind for frequent travelers.
Comparisons and Market Context
In the competitive portable charger market, Lenovo’s Legion P5 enters alongside products like Ugreen’s recently launched 25,000mAh 200W power bank and the Ugreen P6 45W 10,000mAh model, both featuring built-in USB-C cables and digital displays. The Legion P5’s balance of capacity, power output, and integrated features positions it as a versatile option for users seeking a reliable, compact power bank.
