Best Portable Chargers and Power Banks of 2026
A good power bank is one of the most practical tech accessories you can own. Whether you’re traveling, commuting, or just away from outlets, having portable power is increasingly essential. Here are the best options of 2026.
Quick Picks
- Best overall: Anker 737 Power Bank
- Best slim and light: Anker 622 Magnetic Battery
- Best for travel: Baseus 65W Power Bank
- Best budget: Anker PowerCore 10000
- Best for laptops: Anker 747 Power Bank
1. Anker 737 Power Bank — Best Overall
The Anker 737 is the power bank that handles everything — 24,000mAh capacity, 140W max output that can charge a MacBook Pro at full speed, three ports (two USB-C, one USB-A), and a built-in display showing capacity percentage and real-time wattage. It’s large and heavy, but if you want a single power bank that handles phones, tablets, and laptops, nothing in this price range competes.
What we like: 140W output charges laptops. 24,000mAh capacity. Built-in display. Charges three devices simultaneously.
What to know: Heavy (over 1.5 lbs). Expensive. Overkill for phone-only use.
2. Anker 622 Magnetic Battery — Best Slim and Light
For iPhone users, the MagSafe-compatible Anker 622 snaps magnetically to the back of the phone and charges wirelessly while you use it. At 5,000mAh it provides roughly one full iPhone charge. The slim form factor means phone and charger together are still pocketable. It’s not for heavy users, but for topping up on the go without cables it’s elegantly simple.
What we like: MagSafe compatible. Wireless charging. Pocketable. No cables needed.
What to know: iPhone only (MagSafe). 5,000mAh is limited. Wireless charging is slower than wired.
3. Baseus 65W Power Bank — Best for Travel
The Baseus 65W combines 20,000mAh capacity with 65W output — enough to charge most laptops — in a package lighter than the Anker 737. Three ports, fast charging for phones and tablets, and airline-compliant capacity (under 100Wh) make it the ideal travel power bank. The price is competitive for the capability.
What we like: 65W laptop charging. 20,000mAh. Airline compliant. Three ports. Lighter than competitors.
What to know: 65W (not 140W) limits fastest laptop charging. Brand less established than Anker.
4. Anker PowerCore 10000 — Best Budget Power Bank
The Anker PowerCore 10000 is the power bank recommendation for anyone who just needs reliable phone charging without spending much. 10,000mAh charges most phones 2-3 times, the compact size fits in a jacket pocket, and Anker’s build quality and reliability are well proven. It’s not fast-charge capable, but for the price it’s the safe choice.
What we like: Compact and pocketable. Reliable Anker quality. 10,000mAh for 2-3 phone charges. Affordable.
What to know: No fast charging. USB-A only (no USB-C output on base model). Charges slowly itself.
