Sharge slimmed its new 10,000mAh power bank to less than half an inch.

Wrapped in carbon fiber, Sharge’s CarbonBlade has a USB-C and USB-A port while still being just 0.46 inches thick making it easy to slip into a pocket for power emergencies. But for $69.90 it’s also pricier than Anker’s slightly thicker 10,000mAh slim power bank.
