Belkin's F1 x Disney Power Bank Puts a Racing Stripe on Your Nightstand
A special edition power bank from Belkin merges Formula 1 and Disney branding with a built-in LED light and 45W charging, but only for the Chinese market.

The Co-Branded Look
Belkin has brought two unlikely families together for a limited power bank: Formula 1 and Disney. The special edition of its Night Light Power Bank appears only in China, wearing a black, yellow, and red color scheme that takes its cues from the racing series. The case keeps the same silhouette as the standard model, but the paint job is entirely new. Disassembling the two would show the same internal components, assuming Belkin didn't change any specs for the celebration edition. The collaboration is a straight licensing play, aimed at collectors who want the same charging hardware with a more aggressive look.
45W of Power Without a Formula in Sight
The power bank is rated at 1,000mAh, a capacity that seems modest next to its 45W output. Charging flows through a built-in USB-C cable or a separate USB-C port, and both support USB Power Delivery and Programmable Power Supply. When two devices are connected at once, the unit automatically splits the wattage between them. The 45W peak is enough to top up a phone, tablet, or lightweight laptop, provided the laptop accepts the PPS profile. The internal battery is small, so the tradeoff is between raw charging speed and total runtime for the bank itself.
Dimensions That Fit a Pocket
At 118 x 60 x 32mm and 257g, the power bank slips into a jacket pocket or a small bag without causing a bulge. On the front, a digital display reports the remaining battery percentage in real time, so there is no guessing when the last charge is running low. The display is readable in most lighting conditions, and it turns off automatically when the bank is idle to preserve the small capacity. The compact footprint is the result of keeping the battery small, which is a direct consequence of the 1,000mAh rating.
The Light That Turns On as You Reach
Built into the casing is a foldable LED light with a touch-sensitive surface. You can adjust its brightness by tapping or swiping, and a motion sensor switches it on automatically when the bank is moved. The light serves two roles: a night light for a bedside table or a fill light for selfies and video calls. Because it folds, the light can be angled without needing a separate stand. The motion detection is sensitive enough to trigger when you pick up the bank, but it also has a manual off switch so it doesn't drain the battery while in a bag.
Safety That Clears the Cabin
The power bank has passed 3C certification, the Chinese compulsory product certification, which means it is allowed aboard aircraft as carry-on luggage. Belkin has also included overheating, overcharging, and overvoltage protection circuits. These safeguards are standard across the company's power products, but they matter more here because the integrated LED adds an extra component that could misbehave if the power management is sloppy. The combination of the motion sensor and the protection circuits means the bank can sit on a desk without worrying about accidental drains.
A Collectible That's Stuck in China
The Formula 1 x Disney edition is currently sold only through Belkin's Chinese channels. That limits its appeal to collectors outside the country who would have to import it. The standard Night Light Power Bank, which lacks the racing paint job, retails for 329 yuan in China. The special edition costs 439 yuan, a premium that buys the branding, not extra features. For anyone in China, it's a straightforward choice: pay more for the racing look or save on the plain version. For everyone else, the standard bank may be the only option unless the collaboration expands.
