The Power Delivery standard has paved the way for a new wave of the best USB-C battery packs that are both powerful and portable. While there are some massive power banks aimed more at charging laptops or powering devices through long camping trips, I much prefer the lighter and cheaper chargers that can quickly charge a phone while sitting down for lunch or in my pocket during long days out and about. Whether you prefer your power banks big or small, these are the best ones around!
Colorful chargers
Anker PowerCore Slim 10,000mAh PD
Staff pick
Anker’s top-quality, durable and dependable phone-sized power bank now comes in five colors and I, for one, am thrilled. The Terracotta Rose might not be for everyone, but the Deep-Sea Indigo and Dark Olive are universal and understated.
From $26 at Amazon
From $30 at Walmart
Not too big, not too small
AUKEY 15,000mAh USB-C Power Bank
Need to charge multiple phones over the course of your busy day or need a power bank that could last you through an entire weekend of backpacking? AUKEY’s 15,000mAh capacity is still pocket-sized, but it’ll recharge a phone 3-4 times.
High capacity hero
RAVPower PD Pioneer Series 30,000mAh with 90W Output
The beauty of Power Delivery means that even a compact power bank can be powerful enough to charge laptops, like this 90W bank. This capacity here is above the FAA’s limit, so it can’t go on a plane, but it can charge your phone 7-10 times before it runs out.
Super small and sturdy
Zendure SuperMini (10,000mAh)
The SuperMini is the size of a credit card and rugged as all get-out, but it can also charge your phone at 18W whether you use USB-C or USB-A. There are four fun colors to choose from and Zendure builds its batteries to take a beating.
Mini-purse power
Xcentz USB-C Power Bank 5000 PD
Your power bank doesn’t do you any good if you left it at home, but this bank is about the size of a fun-size Halloween candy, so you can carry it every day! Its 5,000mAh capacity still means it can recharge your phone fully.
Charge everything you own
Anker PowerCore III Elite 25,600mAh 60W Portable Charger Bundle
This beefy portable charger can charge most laptops at a decent speed — or at top speed — and it comes with a 65W Power Delivery wall charger to top it back up in three hours.
$160 at Amazon
$160 at Walmart
Best for Galaxy
Samsung 25W Wireless Portable Battery (10,000mAh)
While most recent Galaxy phones don’t actually get 18W charging with most portable charges despite supporting PD, this one will charge Samsung phones at 25W using “Super Fast Charge.”
Charge as you watch
AUKEY Basix Pro Wireless Charging Power Bank (20,000mAh)
This stout power bank can let you binge all day and all night without your phone going dead thanks to the built-in kickstand. This will recharge a phone 4-5 times wired or wirelessly before it needs to recharge itself.
Small and swift
RAVPower 10,000mAh Power Bank
This candy bar-sized power bank is powerful enough to charge most phones from dead to full twice, and it’s now been upgraded to support 20W charging so that your iPhone-using spouse can top of quickly and give the battery back to you.
Small and sturdy makes for the best USB-C portable charger
Again, I far prefer smaller portable batteries that actually live up to the name “portable,” which is why the phone-sized Anker PowerCore Slim 10,000mAh PD and the credit-card-sized Zendure SuperMini are two of my favorites. They’re easy to fit in a pocket or purse, and they’ll give your phone another 10-20 hours of life easily. The Anker is more affordable and its shape makes it easier to accommodate, but some prefer the smaller, thicker size of the Zendure. I certainly prefer the bolder colors on the SuperMini, that metallic red and metallic blue just pop.
Turning to more beefy models, while Anker’s bundle is of the highest quality, it’s also of the highest price, so unless you already lack a USB-C wall charger, you’re probably better off buying the RAVPower 90W PD Pioneer Power Bank, which is less than half the price but charges phones and laptops even faster! Aukey’s 20,000mAh Power Bank is also a nice balance of ports and pricing, and it can serve as a kickstand if you’re glued to an all-night live stream.
