When backpacking for several days, it may be difficult to locate the plugs. As a result, this solar charger may be an excellent choice. It has four foldable high-efficiency solar panels that can produce up to 1A of the input current in direct sunlight. Not only that, but it also allows you to charge your phone with a micro USB cable. Oh, and it has dual USB ports, so you can charge two devices at the same time with 2.1A high-speed charging.

Really great charger for emergencies and on the go. 17203 mAh out of the 25000 mAh claim and when it was completely dead I charged it for 5 hours using only the solar panels and it was enough for a 50% boost on my phone which is great for emergencies such as long term power outage.

As the name implies, this is a mini power bank that comes in a thin design in card size, making it ideal for carrying with you wherever you go. You don’t need to bring charging cables with you because they are already built into the power bank. It has an intelligent control circuit that protects your devices from overcharging, overcurrent, overvoltage, short-circuiting, and other hazards.

This little battery is pretty handy. I needed a small battery to provide power to a few devices which worked very well. Occasionally I use it to charge my phone, which also does a great job. Keep in mind that it doesn't have a lot of juice, but it's just enough to get you where you need to go. I'm impressed on how slim this battery is!

This power bank, like the previous one, has built-in cables inside, making it easier to recharge your phone without the need for additional cables. Furthermore, because it is designed to be a pocket-sized power bank, you can carry it with you wherever you go. It has pass-through charging, which allows you to charge your devices while the battery pack is charging.

I’ve had this unit for roughly a month. When I first received it I fully charged it and since then I’ve charged my half full IPhone 8 four times. Each time it fully charged the IPhone. The charger is compact and the connecting wires are durable. The LED lights on it give an accurate reading of the remaining charge. What’s nice about it, too, is that you don’t have to have a separate cord to connect to your device. I have no complaints.

This lipstick-shaped power bank is worth choosing as it fits perfectly in any purse, palm, pack, or pocket. The LED power button works to display the charging status, allowing you to know the status of your phone’s battery. Besides that, it includes a unique set of advanced safety features that protect both you and your devices.

This has gotten me out of several jams where I had failed to charge my phone. Yes, there is a multitude of other battery backups. However, Anker was far ahead of its time. The competition had to innovate and incorporate new features like high capacity, fullness of charge indicators, and flashlights in order to compete. If you are looking for a simple battery with over-charge protection and enough capacity to recharge your phone this is it. The included travel pouch does fine to keep the battery with the USB.

With dual USB output, this power bank allows you to charge two devices at the same time, saving your time. It is designed to be a sturdy power bank with waterproof (IP66 rating), dustproof, anti-shock, and skid resistance construction, making it ideal for backpacking. Not only that, but it also has four integrated LED power status indicators and auto power-off to prevent energy waste when not in use.

I've had this for quite some time now. The unit works as advertised. It's one of a few battery power packs I have and it's worked when I needed it. I really like the flashlight feature and I've used it on a couple of occasions where I needed light. It's bright color makes it easy to find in my bag and It's tough exterior Make it great to take outdoors and not worry about it getting damaged.

Let’s continue to this ultra-compact power bank with dual USB ports. It has two DC 5V/ 2a inputs, allowing you to charge your phone twice as fast as others. In terms of portability, it has a comfortable grip with rounded corners to provide aesthetic and ergonomic pleasures. Don’t be concerned about safety; it has multiple protectors to keep your device and you completely safe.

An excellent portable charger indeed. I use it on my Nintendo Switch and my Samsung Galxy Note 8 and I am very satisfied. I have also tested it on a Nintendo 3DS and works like a charm. I do not find it bulky at all and the carrying pouch and added cables are definitely a plus.

It’s an Anker power bank that will come in handy as a lifesaver; charge your phone fully green. You can use it to recharge your phone multiple times because it has a larger capacity than the previous one. Sure, thanks to the dual-device output design, you can share the phone’s charging with a friend. It’s portable; simply slip it into your pocket and go with peace of mind.

This charger is small enough to take with you in your jacket pocket, or keep in your car's console, on the bedside table or wherever you might a quick charge for your phone, tablet or other USB devices. And the best part is that it will charge any device you attach to it in about a 1/3 of the time it takes from a charger plugged into your wall outlet! Gotta have it. Use it in an emergency, on a hiking trip, camping, in your car, around the house! Super portable , recharges super fast, lasts super long and looks pretty cool too! Buy one!

Another Anker power bank built with powerIQ 2.0 to provide the fastest charge possible. With its sleek and compact design, you can easily slip it into your purse, pocket, or even bag, and then fly with it wherever you go. Your battery will turn fully green again after only 4 hours of charging.

Charges everything super fast and it charges itself super fast. I can't tell you how many times I forgot to charge up an external battery pack only to have to wait for 4 hours for it to be charged. This thing charges in about an hour and a half (maybe longer but I'm not timing it with a stopwatch). Charges up my samsung galaxy s9 plus twice and has some left over for my other things. Great buy for a great price!

Who wouldn’t want a device that can perform multiple functions? We think we all want it! A hand warmer, like this one, can also be used as a power bank. Well, this device is ideal for use in cold weather because it can be held in your hand to provide maximum warmth with triple settings. Then, with the slot USB power bank construction, you can keep your phone charged. Don’t worry, it’s weatherproof, with a cork-wrapped aluminum shell that helps retain heat up to 140 degrees F.

the hand warmers work perfectly! and the additional functionality as a backup power bank is a nice touch
