It features a USB-C port in the top underneath the dust cover to charge the internal 7800 mAh battery via the included USB-C to USB-A cable. When connected to a USB power source the green LED charging indicators on the front will flash in turn as it charges up, and all three lights will be solid green once fully charged after approximately 5 hours when using a 5 V, 2 A input. Expect a runtime of about 15 minutes on high (150 lumens) and almost six hours on low (five lumens) and when it comes to charging time, simply unscrew the top half and it springs open to reveal a micro-USB port for the provided cable. The MH23 comes with five different beam strengths, from one lumen – just bright enough to see by without attracting attention – to a mind-bending 1,800 lumens. It also features an emergency strobe and SOS, plus a very cool locator beacon built into the torch button that gently flashes intermittently so it can be found in the darkness of a tent. Speaking of that wall plug, it's the most useful feature ever on a power bank. Some power banks come with a built in USB-C cord, but this Anker comes with a two-prong power outlet plug. That makes it a wall charger as well as a power bank, and the utility can't be understated. You can buy the Tylt Bottle with just a power bank attached, but our review sample from AT&T had the full wireless charging treatment. It's easy to set up a phone to charge while studying, working out, or working away from home: all places we take a water bottle and need a full phone battery.

A compact and lightweight power bank with an integrated solar panel that can fully recharge its 3,000mAh internal battery in 12-18 hours of sunlight. The WakaWaka Power+ has a single 2.1A USB output and a micro-USB input (so you can charge it from the mains too). In addition, the Power+ has a 70-lumen LED torch with four brightness settings and SOS mode. The 3,000mAh capacity gives you about 200 hours of light or one full smartphone charge, and charging speed is fairly swift. The power bank has a swivelling base that enables you to place it at almost any angle. This is ideal for positioning it as a camp lantern or adjusting the solar panel to ensure it is in direct sunlight. Pros: Huge battery capacity, multiple outlets, high-speed charging, easy to use and very well-priced.It is perfect for charging a range of devices such as torches, mobile phones, tablets, portable game consoles and thanks to the 45 W power output can even charge laptops. It also features a low current charging mode which is useful for charging wearables such as wireless head phones and smart watches. External devices are easily and conveniently charged via either one of two 18 W standard USB-A ports or the USB-C PD (power delivery) port that both has an output of up to 3 A (45 W max). If you're prone to forgetting your cable, some power banks can recharge your phone wirelessly. You'll just need to place the smartphone on the charger and press a button to start – you may have to reposition it to get perfect alignment, although there are magnetic models (more on those below) for the latest iPhones that'll always snap into the correct position.

Tylt also wisely left enough of a gap between the battery and the bottle that you can coil a small USB-C cord (included) into that space. That way, even if you're not charging wirelessly, you're not adding a lot of extra bulk to your bag. It's a smart setup.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 a weekend getaway, you'll soon find that your phone battery can drain far more than you expect when you're out and about. Cons: Single outlet port and limited battery capacity means this little guy reaches his limits when it comes to charging bigger devices. We expect this competition will heat up next year as more power bank makers catch up and make faster charging batteries. Until then, Anker is the dominant brand, and if you want the best it's an easy choice. How many times can my power bank charge my phone? Cons: While the 2.4A USB output is speedy, the slower 1.0A port is sluggish compared to the multiple high-speed charging options of other power banks here. Please Note: When it reaches 45 W it will automatically regulate it's output according to it's working status to maintain the optimal performance and prolong the lifespan of the battery. Specifications

If you've got one of Apple's iPhone 12, 13 or 14 models, there's a new breed of portable charger on the market.

WakaWaka Power+ With Solar Panel And Link

The Nitecore NB20000 is a lightweight and compact power bank relative to it's huge 20000 mAh capacity, and is useful for long weekends away from home, or the commuter who relies on a good power source capable of charging a laptop. We'd recommend avoiding anything below 5,000mAh, though, as they'll barely recharge today's smartphones. Look for between 5,000 and 10,000mAh. You don't need all those extras: The Anker Prime power bank is pricey, and if you don't care about monitoring charge Wattage or days of battery life, find another option.
