Power banks come in a range of capacities, so it's vital to pick one that matches your distinct needs. That delightful feeling when you reach for your smartphone and discover it's out of battery, only to realize that you've got a fully charged power bank tucked away in your bag – it's quite hard to put into words. Explore Our Premium Portable Power Banks. Your misplaced house keys, on the other hand, might be on the dark web, courtesy of someone else. With an array of options available in the hunt for the ultimate portable charging savior, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by where to begin. While some power banks marketed as such are undeniably top-tier, and others offer handy additional features like an Apple Watch charging pad, you don't necessarily need a dedicated power pack for every single device. In general, we recommend going for the highest mAh (milliamp hours) capacity that suits your budget, while also considering weight and size. Keep an eye out for 7.5W/10W/15W, and if speed is your top priority, consider the blazing-fast 30W option. Below, we present our top picks for power banks and portable chargers spanning various price points, battery sizes, and feature configurations, encompassing both wired and wireless, compact and substantial, standard charging and rapid charging.

Top Choice: Anker PowerCore 20000 Essential PD

When you think of "power banks," Anker is the name that probably springs to mind. This renowned charger brand has been in the game for a while, continually refining and enhancing its offerings. The Anker PowerCore 20000 Essential PD hits the sweet spot in terms of size, providing ample capacity to fully charge both your laptop and your mobile devices. It's like the Goldilocks of power banks – larger ones exist, but they might weigh you down, and more budget-friendly options are available, but they won't keep your devices running for as long. With a 20,000mAh capacity and Power Delivery (PD) compatibility, this power bank is perfect for slipping into your bag or backpack. It holds just the right amount of juice to recharge your phone multiple times and give your laptop a substantial boost. While the regular USB-A ports deliver 10W of charging power, the USB-C PD ports ramp it up to 18W. Swift, sleek, and capable of saving you from the dreaded 0% battery situation on almost all your devices.

Discover the Belkin Wireless Magnetic Portable Charger 10K

The introduction of MagSafe by Apple made it clear that a magnetic battery pack was a must-have. While Apple has released its own MagSafe-compatible Battery Pack, other manufacturers have stepped up their game in terms of availability, cost-effectiveness, and battery size. One standout among these clever alternatives is the Belkin Magnetic Portable Wireless Charger 10K. The Apple and Belkin offerings diverge considerably when it comes to specifications. With a generous 10,000mAh capacity, the Belkin Magnetic Portable Charger leaves the Apple MagSafe Battery Pack, boasting a paltry 1,460mAh, in the dust. Yes, Apple products often come at a premium, but they also make the most of every bit of that 1,460mAh, yielding a higher return on investment. However, this substantial gap in capacity ensures you're getting more bang for your buck.

Exclusive Deal: Cygnett ChargeUp Swift Wireless

Wireless charging never fails to hold a touch of enchantment. Placing your phone on a pad or portable charger and watching it come to life still carries a certain allure. The Cygnett ChargeUp Swift Wireless isn't just a portable charger; it also serves as a (slightly chunky) wireless charging station for your office or nightstand. While it may not be as slim as some other power banks with similar capacity, such as the Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 2S, you're here for the convenience of wireless charging. This Cygnett power bank boasts a hefty 10,000mAh capacity and weighs in at 238g.

Limited Edition: Belkin Valet Charger

In contrast to most of the ultra-practical, boxy, black plastic options out there, the Belkin Valet Charger (£60) brings a touch of elegance to the table. Its compact size and silver-and-black finish won't mar the beauty of your sleek Apple devices. Weighing in at 281g, this Belkin charger is designed to serve as a two-in-one charging solution for your Apple Watch and iPhone. The Apple Watch charges atop the Belkin, thanks to the white plastic charging module, while the iPhone charges via USB to Lightning (cable not included, as always).

Trending: Cygnett ChargeUp Pro 20K

This ingenious power bank is purpose-built for rapid laptop charging, and it delivers on its promise. The Cygnett Laptop Power Bank comes in two sizes: a solid 20,000mAh and a colossal 27,000mAh (comprising three 9,000mAh battery packs). In our testing, the 27,000mAh variant nearly doubled the charge duration of a 13-inch MacBook Pro. Officially, it's rated to offer a full charge for a 15-inch MacBook Pro, 1.3 charges for a 13-inch MacBook Pro, and 1.6 charges for a 12-inch MacBook Pro. Notably, it's compatible with Dell, Lenovo, HP, and a range of other laptops.
