Best Power Banks (2026): My Picks After Testing Over 100

There are so many portable chargers out there. Here are a few more I like that just missed out on a place above for one reason or another. We also have separate guides for the Best Laptop Power Banks , Best MagSafe Power Banks , and Best Portable Power Stations .

Super svelte, about the same size as a stack of credit cards, this charger slides easily into pockets and bags and offers a modest top-up for your phone. Anker’s dinky charger comes in fun colors and simply slots into the bottom of your phone via the built-in rotating USB-C or Lightning connector. Redmagic’s Go Power Bank combines a cool, modular look with a thoughtful and practical design, doubling as a 65-watt charger. This wafer thin Qi2 power bank clings to the back of your phone magnetically for up to 15-watt wireless charging, providing enhanced safety and reduced fire risk. This model has a 2.3-foot retractable cable and the ability to charge devices at up to 45 watts. Handmade by a small indie business in Brighton, UK, from recycled plastic, Gomi claims at least 50 percent less CO 2 emissions than other power banks. Not just a cute, wee robot face, this is also a super-speedy power bank offering up to 100 watts, unusual in a charger this size. Capable of delivering 300 watts, this power bank is close to the maximum capacity allowed on flights , and it can charge a couple of laptops and phones at the same time via the three USB-C ports (140W, 65W, 65W) and retractable 2-foot USB-C cable (140W). This high-capacity portable power bank delivers up to 67 watts, with 2.3 feet of built-in USB-C cable when fully extended, but you can pull and stop at shorter lengths, and there’s also a USB-C port. Looking like a power bank from the Nostromo , this can deliver a chart-topping 240 watts for two devices via the USB-C ports (140 watts and 100 watts), making it a good choice if you want to charge two laptops simultaneously. Feature-packed with 26,250 mAh at 300 watts across two USB-C ports and one USB-A, a smart display and app control, and a 3.3-foot USB-C cable, this Anker Prime Power Bank is a beast. Travel plug adapters cover trips to the UK, Europe, and Australia, among other places.
