Both Zolo and Picogo do the same. Lot of USB-A to micro/Lightning devices/cables around. Also useful for headphones or other devices that just have no need for more than 7.5-12W of power.
Baseus Picogo - 3.47x2.35-inches
As I said in the Zolo thread, Picogo is better... But harder to get on an equivalent deal.
And yes, I own all three already.

Why are you comparing the size of a 10000mAh power bank to a 20000mAh power bank?
Zolo, etc share heights and exchange thickness for. It makes a difference for height packing. You may find in a go bag two Picogos fit better, and they often BOGO them.
Of course a power bank with half the capacity should be smaller. Yes you are getting a slightly smaller sized power bank, but you are also losing half the capacity.

Second - why the F is it so difficult to find detailed specs on this thing?!?!! I need more to know if it will work for me and can't find anywhere, even on their site.. looking for voltages & wattage supported for each of the 3 ports/cables and if the USB C port is output only or both can charge device (pic looks like both can charge). Dealbreaker for me if only the built in cable charges device
Would be icing on cake to know if this works as a UPS for something like a Raspberry Pi or dev board (pass through is awesome as long as it doesn't drop). I'm looking for a cheap power supply that can power some 12V fans via USB A and a mini PC via USB C, PLUS accept solar charge input via USB C. Those details should be available - please point me there if you see and I'm overlooking

I guess you missed that in the title on the product page it states the USB-C is in/out. The cable attached is in/out. It is shown as recharging the pack in pictures if you scroll down
The USB-C port is labeled as in/out in pics as well.
These might be capable as UPS devices. They stop charging when device is full and no longer demanding power from it. It won't cycle back on to automatically power the device or keep it topped off if current from wall stops and device depletes after it has already stopped charging the device.
If, however, the device is in constant use while the pack is plugged in to both the AC and device, the constant drain on the pack would keep it charging your device in the event of an outage.
My use case is a good example: Making a long video on my phone while plugged into the pack it will keep the phone at 100% until the pack is discharged, as long as the drain is present. So if it has pass-through charging it should work indefinitely.
I can't find any details on the breakdown when charging multiple devices either. You could query the company about that. Might be best to buy now to lock in the deal because you should not hold your breath waiting. Or don't bother at all. It is returnable if the answers are not to your liking.
One can use a tester to plug in between a device and the pack which would determine these max values, using a device capable of demanding the max, but you'd need to have it to test it. Those are readily available, and pretty cheap.
You might check Youtube for detailed reviews if you have not yet. I am not interested in searching that much.
