FXLION has announced the third battery in its ultra-compact V-lock NANO series, the NANO-THREE. The NANO-THREE is a 150Wh capacity battery with 10 amps of working current. It features a regulated USB-C output that you can use to charge laptops, smartphones, and other accessories.
The NANO-THREE now joins the Fxlion NANO ONE 50Wh 14.8V and Fxlion Nano Two Ultracompact V-Mount Battery (98Wh) in the series. I previously reviewed the Fxlion NANO ONE 50Wh 14.8V on the site back in mid-2019. You can read that review here.
Size & Weight
The NANO-THREE weighs 773g and has physical dimensions of 103mm (L) x 74mm (W) x 75mm (H).
As a comparison, below are some of the other 150Wh mini-Vlock batteries that are available.

As you can see, the NANO-THREE is fairly similar to other mini V-lock batteries that are available on the market, however, it does offer better connectivity.
Connectivity
The NANO-THREE offers a lot of connectivity options when it comes to powering other devices. The NANO-THREE has a USB-C in/output, USB-A output, and a D-Tap in-/output.
I love batteries that feature a USB-C input/output as it allows you to power your laptop or even charge the battery when your laptop is connected to mains power. Speaking of charging, you can charge the battery through D-Tap, USB-C, and with any V-lock charger.
Batteries with these capabilities are indispensable when you are traveling.
The battery features a built-in LCD that shows you the remaining capacity and voltage as well as the voltage of USB and USB-C ports. All the sockets are protected from dust and moisture with a rubber lid.
