About the original
The mophie Encore 20K is a 20,100mAh dual-USB portable power bank with two full-size USB output ports rated at 2.1A each, enough capacity to fully recharge a standard smartphone six to seven times. Priority+ charging detects connected devices and routes power to them first rather than topping up the bank itself. Mophie was founded in 2005 in Michigan and acquired by ZAGG in 2016. The Encore line has since been discontinued and replaced by the Powerstation series. Supreme's FW17 version retailed at $98 against $70 for the standard black unit, applying the box logo to the matte aluminum body.
