BOLD has two USB–C 100 Watts input and output ports. Two USB–A ports, each can charge at a max speed of 40 Watts. The wireless pads can output 15 Watts for phones and 5 Watts for Apple watches. If you use Samsung watches, check our Stretch Goal.

A JOY TO USE – Each port is carefully labeled, and the two USB-C ports can be used for input and output charging. In simple terms, it doesn’t matter which USB-C port you use to charge BOLD, it will work.

Do you want to be “in charge”? Pun intended. BOLD’s state-of-the-art LCD screen shows output per port, indicates wireless charging, and of course, the battery percentage remaining.

BOLD has a 27,000 mAh battery capacity and uses lithium polymer (LiPo) graphene composite batteries manufactured by Panasonic, guaranteeing quality. LiPo graphene is also longer lasting than old lithium batteries. 

Embrace the future with up to 4x the battery life cycle!

All major brands, like Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Oppo, One Plus, and devices like GoPro, digital cameras, Nintendo Switch, drones, and basically anything that uses USB charging technology.

The use of Programmable Power Supply (PPS) operating protocol gives BOLD the ability to control voltage and current at a granular level.

BOLD can charge all laptops via any of its 2 USB-C Ports.

We have a line of adapters for Dell, Microsoft Surface, HP, ASUS, Lenovo, ACER, MSI, Samsung, and much more. If your laptop is not listed, contact us… you’ll be surprised.

BOLD uses pass-through technology, allowing you to charge BOLD while it charges your devices. NEAT!

BOLD’s wireless pads are covered by tempered glass, making BOLD lighter and allowing it to cool faster. Our tempered glass is impact and scratch-resistant. 

Anywhere life takes you, BOLD won’t let you down.

BOLD is made out of top quality aircraft grade anodized Aluminum. As a result, BOLD has excellent heat dissipation qualities and is lighter than traditional power banks.

We’ve reimagined every way you interact with your devices and added utility, power, and strength. BOLD takes up half the volume of traditional Power Banks; now you can have the highest capacity and output Power Bank without carrying a “brick”. 

BOLD is approved by all major and minor airlines internationally. The maximum airline safe battery capacity for TSA/EASA is 27,000mAh / 100Wh. Disclaimer: some Asian Airlines such as Air Asia have a maximum of 20,000mAh /74Wh.

We started by defining the Power Bank capabilities and features. The critical task was how to fit so much power into an easily portable body. Many iterations were necessary to find the perfect balance between battery size, PCB positioning, and an optically appealing design. The global chip shortage notably slowed down our prototyping efforts and forced us to revisit our design time and time again. The final result is the perfect compromise between portability and functionality, and we cannot wait to receive your feedback.

Within 14 days of your pledge, you will receive an email from Pledgebox to complete a shipping survey.  Taxes will be collected from backers in EU + EFTA, UK, AU, CA, and SG, as your respective governments impose them.

As of July 1st, 2021 VAT applies from the first €1 of the product’s price for products sold from outside the EU to consumers living inside the EU.

As of January 1st, 2021 VAT applies from the first £1 of the product’s price to products sold from outside the UK to consumers living inside the UK.

To compensate for the VAT rates/taxes that your respective governments require, the UZE team decided to take a significant hit on shipping charges. Taxes and duties will be charged up-front for backers in EU + EFTA, UK, AU, CA, and SG, where applicable, meaning that the packages will arrive with all duties paid, enabling the best possible shipping experience.

Available only on the survey 

We use premium materials and manufacturing processes to build products that last. BOLD and all accessories pass rigorous tests to achieve international certifications of safe use. Our products are tested for: TEMPERATURE, CHARGE/DISCHARGE, DROP, SHAKING HUMIDITY, and STATIC.

We comply with FCC, CE, RoHS, MSDS, and our lightning cables are MFi.

Let us take you onto our journey of how BOLD by UZE came to be. 

In 2019, while on holiday in Europe, we went with friends to the beach. It was meant to be a quick stop and go, the last sunset and the culmination of the trip. We didn’t carry much, and little did we expect what was about to happen. The car got stuck in the sand, and we had no charging cables, no Power Banks, and less than 5% battery on each phone. While it was enough to call for help, the phones eventually died, and everybody had to sleep the night in the car, as the towing truck was unable to call nor locate us. The temperature dropped, a blizzard came in, and the next day we had to walk for an hour until we found help. 

Little did we know that we would sleep right there

Last Picture of the day

Back in warm Miami we bought and tested countless Power Banks and found that all the features we wanted weren’t available in one single product so we decided it was time to develop a Power Bank that would be a joy to carry around and that would be able to fast charge all devices, especially phones – cable or not.

Since then almost 2 years have passed, and we are super excited to bring BOLD to Indiegogo after a very successful Kickstarter campaign.

A note on why we went to Kickstarter and now Indiegogo

We launched products in Kickstarter because it gave us the freedom to run our business exactly how we want. The funds allow us to continue developing products without seeking outside investors. We love what we do and are not beholden to growth goals, revenue targets, or product timelines imposed by others. Instead, we focus on doing what we love: building the best things we can make, fueled by support from the best customers we could ask for.

We cannot wait to get these products into your hands.
