The top models we recommend from Anker, Mophie, Belkin and more.
It's easy to get used to being a couple of feet away from a power cable or wireless charging pad on those days when you're working from home. But, whether you're in the office a few days a week, simply left your handset off the charger overnight, or you're jetting off on for a weekend getaway, you'll soon find that your phone battery can drain far more than you expect when you're out and about. That's especially true if you're swiping through videos on TikTok, watching Netflix downloads, or using Google Maps to navigate.
Even if you're not off on a holiday and have just found your phone is faltering after a long day at the office or need to keep your Nintendo Switch fully topped up to fit in more Animal Crossing, one of the best power banks is an absolute must.
Our best power bank picks below are a combination of our hands-on testing and expert recommendations from our rigorous research.
We tried out the best portable chargers by charging up a range of phones (including Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, and iPhone models) and timing how long they took to recharge. We assessed the design, portability and convenience of the models too. There are loads of portable chargers on the market, so we focused on some of the most trusted brands for our picks – there’s a reason there are several Anker models here, they’re super reliable and offered at a range of capacities and prices.
