23 Best Electric Banks (2025), tested and reviewed

Other portable chargers we tested

There are a lot of portable chargers out there. There are a few we like, and just missed the above for some reason.

OnePlus Slim Magnetic Power Bank, priced at $70: Sleek in silver grey aluminum with chamfered edges, this power library looks cute and very slim, measuring 3.77 x 2.71 x 0.34 inches, not to mention just 120 grams of lightweight. But the capacity of 5,000-MAH is just over half. Wireless charging can accommodate 10 watts of Android 10 watts, and iPhone 7.5 watts (even wired charging is limited to 10 watts). You can grab better performance with less speed.

Denvix PowerX Power Bank priced at $180: This powerful 25,000 mAh power library can be sold at up to 200 watts via two USB-C ports (one USB-A and a Qi Wireless charging pad) to charge four devices simultaneously, perhaps a laptop, several phones and some earbuds. The monitor shows the remaining power, watts in and out, temperature, and some other statistics. This is a reliable option if you want something that can charge your laptop, but the finish is too smooth and can get very warm when charging multiple devices.

Sharge Flow Mini costs $13: With similar design and the same 5,000-MAH capacity above Anker’s Nano Power Bank, you might be tempted to do so. It comes with interchangeable USB-C to USB-C or Lightning Connectors (I’m worried it’ll be easy to lose) and has a built-in USB-C cable that can be used as a belt, although it’s hard to pull out. There is a power button with four LEDs to show the remaining power and it will be replenished for an hour and a half, but either way, the charging rate is emitted at 12 watts.

Cuktech 10 Electric Bank, priced at $40: With impressive build quality, including premium furry materials underneath and convenient displays showing power output and input, this Cuktech (pronounced Chook-Tek) power library has earned a place on it almost. Despite its modest capacity, it is built for speed, capable of outputting 100 watts and supports PD 3.0 and PPS. It can also be charged in less than an hour (up to 90 W). The trade-off of high speed is inefficiency. You won’t get the 10,000-MAH capacity advertised, but it’s true for most power banks. I also tested higher capacity Cuktech 15 Ultra ($90)with twice the power, can charge two or three devices simultaneously at 165 watts, and supports many fast charging protocols including PPS, QC, PD3.1, FCP, SCP and MIPPS.

Base 2 costs $80: With its very thin design, this 12,000-MAH-capable power library slides easily into the backpack and can charge most phones a few times, or top up the laptop with features up to 65 watts. Its display shows a percentage of battery life as a remaining time, and the input or output of both USB-C ports. We have tried many products from the base product line up and down. Although they are generally reliable, we do think there are better options.

$50 for Rugd Power Brick: This vibration-resistant and waterproof (IP67 certified) charger is 16 highlights in SOS mode and has a capacity of 10,050-mAh (one USB-C for 18 W, while USB-A supports QC). It’s also bright orange, weighs only 280g and comes with a carabiner for easy fixation, all of which makes it an excellent camping companion.

Fansdreams MCHAOS priced at $46: I like the idea of ​​the wearable power library, which is lime green with carabiners, making it easy to hold onto the bag. It also has a built-in, retractable 28-inch USB-C cable that charges up to 20 watts of your phone. The charging power bank is a little slower at 18 watt-hours. Colored LEDs give you a juice feel from green to orange to red, but the 5,000-MAH capacity means you are lucky to be able to fully charge your phone, and even the discounted price feels a little high. I also tested the 10,000-MAH model ($50) which has a better design. Pull out the 2.3-foot retractable USB-C cable and the remaining percentage is visible through the box’s shiny plastic. There is a USB-C port on the bottom to charge, either way, up to 22.5 watts.

Infinacore Pandora Portable Power Global Wireless Charger for $50: this Once was We chose the best wall-mounted power bank, which is still a charger that plugs directly into the wall. It has the advantage of an optional EU and UK plug adapter for an additional $10, making it a convenient travel companion. It offers 8,000 mAh via one USB-C port, two USB-A ports (18 W in total) and Qi wireless charging (5 W).

The Iniu Power Bank Bai-B64 costs $72: Offering relatively low prices, INIU is a rising power banking brand. The portable charger has a capacity of 27,000-MAH, can accommodate up to 140 W, and collects three devices at a time through two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. We also tested a very similar BI-B63 ($54), which is slightly lower at 25,000 mAh, but seems to be a better value. Unfortunately, both are slightly higher than the capabilities specified during the test. We also like the color options available in the slimmer version of the company.

Anker Prime Power Bank, priced at $110: Total scores of total combinations of 200 W and 20,000-MAH, which is a reliable option to charge any device. You can even use it to charge two laptops at a time via two USB-C ports. There is also a USB-A port and a digital screen. You can also buy a power base ($110) for this, which allows you to stick the power library on it and charge it via a POGO PIN. This foundation makes it easy to keep the power library top-up, and allows easy use of two USB-C ports and one USB-A port (combined maximum output of 100 W). I tried the UK version (£75) and it worked well, but Wired Review editor Julian Chokkattu had a problem with the US base failing to charge the power bank for the electricity bank.

Anker Nano Power Bank 10,000 costs $40: Another reliable option for this Power Bank (also from £30 from Amazon UK), features a built-in USB-C cable that serves as an easy-to-carry loop, plus a USB-C and a USB-A port. It has a capacity of 10,000-MAH, and for most phones, it only costs two full payments. It reaches 30 watts in each way and can be fully charged in about two hours.

Mpowered Luci Pro Lux costs $50: This solar-powered inflatable lantern features 10 LEDs and emits a lovely warm glow, perfect for camping or walking at night. It is IP67 grade and is flatly packaged for easy carrying. While it’s not the main power bank, the 2,000-MAH battery in the Luci Pro can charge your phone in an emergency. An almost complete Luci Pro boosted my Pixel 6 Pro by 25%. Charging with a solar panel takes at least 14 hours, or you can plug in the socket and charge it in three.

Mophie Powerstation, Powerstation XL and Powerstation Pro AC, priced at $28 or more: Mophie’s 2023 update to its Powerstation series has 10,000, 20,000 and 27,000-MAH capabilities. They are bulky, non-descript devices with USB-C and USB-A ports, but the latter has an AC port that is perfect for traveling. Wired Review editor Julian Chokkattu used the XL on his journey to Japan and effortlessly kept his Switch Lite and Pixel 7 Pro proper. There are LEDs indicating the remaining battery life, but otherwise nothing special.

Iwalk portable charger for $27: Wired Review editor Julian Chokkattu used the Lightning version of this power library while covering Apple’s activities, which reliably filled his iPhone. The 4,800-MAH capacity doesn’t completely refill your device, but it’s small and can always be kept in a bag. There is an LED showing the remaining power ratio.
