Elon Musk-owned Tesla, which is known for its electric cars, has quietly introduced a new Tesla Powerbank, which is meant for Android and iOS smartphones. Tesla had recently unveiled its huge Semi truck, which is another fully electric vehicle along with a revamped version of the Tesla Roadster. The new Tesla Roadster is priced at $200,000 while Tesla’s Semi truck will be made available from 2019.

The Tesla Powerbank has the following dimensions: 108 x 30.5 x 23.3mm and comes with an integrated USB and integrated Apple lightning cable option. So this means an iPhone user can just directly plug their iOS device into the Tesla Powerbank without carrying out the Lighting-to-USB cable.
The Tesla Powerbank also has a detachable micro-USB cable and the company claims to have a “High efficiency circuitry to deliver maximum battery capacity.” The Tesla Powerbank has a 18650 cell with 3350mAh capacity and of 1800±200mA with an output of 5V/1.5A max.
