ChargeYou've likely heard of Anker, and this is one of the company's best portable chargers
It comes with a huge 20,100mAh battery inside, meaning this will be able to charge up your phone or tablet multiple times before it needs a
recharge.It also comes with high-speed charging for your devices if they use PowerIQ or VoltageBoost
It won't be able to use Qualcomm's QuickCharge technology, but it'll still boost your device when you're on the go.AUKEY Power Bank
20,000mAhLarge battery capacityTwo USB portsBlocky designNo quick chargingIf the Anker isn't right for you, our next choice is the Aukey
20,000mAh battery pack
It features two ports so you can charge both your phone and your tablet at the same time and also has a light to show you how much battery
charge is leftover.The blocky design may not be for everyone, but this portable charger should be able to charge your phone and other
gadgets a few times over with such a high capacity cell inside.iMuto 30,000mAh power bankThree ports and 30,000mAhLarge capacityThree USB
portsChunky designVery heavyIf you're looking for an even larger capacity charger than the option above you may want to go for the iMuto
Ultra High Capacity portable charger
It offers a 30,000mAh capacity that will be able to charge your average smartphone over six times and still have some charger left.It can
also charge some MacBooks and laptops too, but you may want to make sure it will be compatible with your computing option before you buy it
Considering the price though, you'll struggle to find a 30,000mAh charger for this little.RAVPower 22,000mAh power bankThree ports, but
slimmer than the iMutoThree portsSurprisingly portableWeightyAnother high capacity portable charger here for you and this time it's from
RAVPower with a 22,000mAh option
The design is similar to the Anker and Aukey made options above, and while it doesn't include as much capacity as the iMuto one it does have
a much slimmer design.You have three ports here so you can charge multiple gadgets at the same time and it'll have enough capacity to be
able to charge both a mobile and an iPad or tablet from 0% too.Best slim power banksXiaomi 10,000mAh Power Bank ProA slim, well-crafted
portable chargerPortable, metal-clad designWorks for micro USB and USB-C devicesXiaomi has a hand in some unexpected sectors of technology,
including audio and portable chargers
But don't sleep on either, as it's onto something worth checking out. During our testing, its 10,000mAh Power Bank provided good results,
both in terms of its portability and charging potential
While not the fastest charger out there, it was able to charge our Google Pixel 2 in a little over two hours
Thankfully, it's discreet enough that you can bring it with you just about everywhere to plug in when necessary.It's not rare for a power
bank to come with a charging cable, but we appreciate that this one has been built with care to suit both micro USB and USB-C users with the
same cable, as seen in the above gallery.Veho Pebble P1 ProFast charging with a great designTwo USB portsCharge via microUSB and USB-CNot a
design for everyoneWith 10,400mAh inside, two USB outputs and fast charging technology the Pebble P1 Pro may be one of the best all-round
power banks you can buy right now
This doesn't have anything to do with the defunct watch brand, but instead it's called the Pebble for its curved edges design.This should be
able to recharge most phones at least two and a half times from a single charge, plus this power bank can be charged up by either microUSB
or USB-C so you won't need to have a specific cable with you to pump it up again when it's out of juice.Poweradd Pilot 2GS 10,000mAhHigh

your back pocket when you're out and about

ready to go.At only 209g and 1.5cm thick, you'll be able to take this around with you and not feel weighed down while still having 10,000mAh

this list, it doesn't come with a cable attached so you'll need to take your own out and about with you.RAVPower 6,700mAh portable

have on the list, but this option from RAVPower should suit you for recharging your mobile phone while on the go.It has a capacity of
6,700mAh, which should recharge your average smartphone at least once and maybe even twice
There are three color options here with the choices of either pink, bright blue or silver. The LEDs on the side of the device also show you
how much charge is left and there's fast-charging tech built-in too.Best power banks with lots of portsMAXOAK 50,000mAhSix portsHuge

juice to do that, so if you're usually surrounded by a lot of tech this is possibly one of the best chargers to buy.Qi-infinity Upgraded

small charger and is capable of charging up your laptop or tablet as well as your phone simultaneously.You can charge up to three devices at
