Coolife Backpack Charger: Which Sets Have a USB Port
By Brandon Schultz Published
Coolife sells several three-piece travel sets that pair a 20-inch carry-on with a backpack and a toiletry bag. Some of those backpacks have a USB charging port and some don't, and the set names don't always make it obvious. Here's what Coolife's own product details say about each set, set by set, and what they leave out.

The three sets with a port
PC Hardside set in black
This is the vintage-style set, with a 20-inch ABS and PC hardside carry-on. Coolife describes the backpack as a smart backpack with a large capacity, multiple pockets and a USB charger port, and in another part of the description calls it a built-in USB charger port. The suitcase has a retractable handle, and the backpack has a back sleeve for riding on it.
ABS set in black
This set pairs a lightweight ABS carry-on with a backpack Coolife describes as having multi-functional pockets with USB. The backpack and toiletry pouch are made of a mildly moisture-repellent polyester, and the backpack has a luggage strap that slips over the suitcase's telescopic handle so you can roll both together.
PC+ABS set in black
Here the carry-on is PC+ABS with an adjustable retractable handle. The written description talks about the backpack's multiple pockets and its smart back sleeve, and Coolife's comparison chart for its backpack sets marks a charging port. Both soft pieces are made of a mildly water-resistant polyester.
What Coolife doesn't specify
For all three sets, Coolife doesn't say whether a power bank or a cable comes with the backpack, what type of USB connector the port uses, or where inside the bag it connects. Check the backpack when it arrives before you plan a trip around the port, and pack the charging cable for your phone either way.
If you pack a power bank, keep it in the backpack or another carry-on bag rather than in a checked suitcase, because airlines generally don't allow spare lithium batteries in checked baggage. Check your airline's rules for the size limit.
Packing the backpack for a trip
In all three port sets, the backpack rides on the suitcase handle, so you can roll both as one. A few habits help:
- Put heavier things low in the backpack, so it sits steadily on the handle and doesn't pull the case over when you stop.
- Keep your phone, cable and power bank in one outer pocket, so you can reach them at the gate without unpacking.
- Slide the backpack off before you lift the suitcase into an overhead bin.
