RUGGED POWER BANK 20.000

Product Information

A separate proprietary feature, VoltageBoost, also helps smoothen erratic voltage output due to cable resistance. Expect it to recognize your device and offer uninterrupted charging speeds this way. The best power bank for travel is the one that provides the most power while weighing the least and being the smallest. Anker make over a dozen different models, all of which are among the top of their class. Pros: Huge battery capacity, multiple outlets, high-speed charging, easy to use and very well-priced.

Bear in mind, however, that if you try to charge this rugged powerbank with a standard cellphone charger (5W), it’s going to take you a LONG TIME (potentially a full day or more). If you plan on getting this, a special 45W charger is something you should also invest in. Downsides

Goalzero Venture 70

This 15,000 mAh, 12W charger from myCharge is a good alternative to the Techsmarter waterproof power bank above if you don’t need such a large capacity or the 45W power transfer.

Whether you prefer wired or wireless charging, the Anker PowerCore III 10K Wireless has you covered. It’s a versatile power bank featuring one USB-A and one USB-C port, the latter of which can deliver up to 18W fast charging to a connected mobile device. Alternatively, a Qi-charging pad can wirelessly charge your phone, your wireless earbuds, or your tablet. But you will only get 10W wireless charging with Samsung phones, 7.5W with iPhones, and 5W with other smartphones. The Goal Zero Venture 70 is a seriously rugged, waterproof power bank with an IP67 rating. It has a fairly generous 17,700mAh capacity – enough to charge a smartphone five times (though the manufacturer quotes up to six charges). The two high-speed 2.4A USB outputs can charge two devices simultaneously. Keep a close eye on how much juice you have so that you can maintain your power bank at the optimal charge. This is a great device to have for either travel or emergency use at home if you live in a hurricane belt or somewhere prone to other kinds of natural disasters.A watt is a measurement of rate of energy transfer. So, when shopping for portable solar chargers keep in mind that the more wattage the more power the panel can provide. I’d recommend at least a 24-watt solar charger. Are solar chargers practical? The best power banks we have tried have all come from Anker, but that doesn't mean Anker is the only brand you should consider. All of the power banks on this list passed our testing, traveling with us on the road and powering our devices at home. Anker is the best, but these batteries from Baseus and Otterbox performed well. If you only need a small waterproof power bank to use in emergencies to charge your phone, then this is perfect. It stays charged for weeks at a time if you don’t use it, and it doesn’t matter if it gets covered in dust, mud, or soaked in the rain. Despite the solar charging feature, the low capacity of the panel and the similarly low wattage of its output mean that you shouldn’t really expect amazing things from it.

Get hours of power in a tough and rugged unit. Having two 120V AC plugs built right in is a huge convenience here, along with four USB ports, so you’ll never have to go searching for a wall outlet ever again. There’s also a 12V output and 15V spot for solar panel hookup, with easily readable lights that tell you the battery status. Number of charges and charge time (How many times does it charge a phone? How long does it take to charge?) That means I could twist my phone sideways into landscape mode and use the Baseus power bank as a portable stand for Apple's new StandBy mode, which is one of my favorite features on iOS 17, and certainly the one I use the most often. All of our tests were conducted using the same wall adapter and, when possible, USB-C or Micro-USB cable. This was done to eliminate any discrepancies with wall adapters and cable throughput. What to look for in a portable power bank The best ultralight power bank will depend on what kind of electronics you plan on charging with it and how often, but lightweight is definitely something I pay close attention to.

How did we choose these power banks?

There are a few things to take into consideration when choosing the best waterproof power bank for you, and it is not always clear what they mean. Below is a breakdown of some of the features to look out for and what they mean in terms of performance. Bigger doesn’t always mean better, but if you have specific requirements, then this power bank guide should help you figure out the specs. Capacity Anker power banks are not waterproof and nor do they claim to be. The casing is made from waterproof materials but does not have a waterproof construction. Water can get in through the joints and the charger input, so it won’t fare well if submerged. If you spill water on it or it gets a little bit wet in the rain though, you should be ok. What to do if Your Power Bank Gets Wet You need a lot of power: Thankfully, the battery on the Tylt Bottle 2 isn't so big it adds too much weight, but that also means it isn't powerful enough for multiple charges. We wish there wasn't such an easy answer to this question, because competition is better for everybody, but Anker is making the best power banks right now by far. It offers the best power-to-weight ratio, the fastest charging, and the most useful features.

Lumens measure how much light you get from a bulb (with more lumens being more light and fewer lumens less light). It pertains to a couple of the waterproof power banks on the list that come with built-in flashlights. The Techsmarter device is 6,000 less mAh, but charges faster (both the battery itself and the speed at which it charges other devices) and is a similar weight. The duration for which we retain your personal information will differ depending on the type of information and the reason why it was submitted. However, in some cases personal information may be retained on a long term basis: for example, basic personal information about you will normally be retained for so long as you maintain an account with us, and personal information that we need to retain for legal purposes will normally be retained for at least six years in accordance with usual commercial practice and regulatory requirements.Pros: It has a useful LED light and enough juice to give your smartphone a full charge. When coupled with the separate solar panel and link, its capabilities are drastically increased for off-grid trips. The 10W panel has a bigger output than any other solar charger we tested. Pros: Striking a good balance between capacity, weight and size, this is a versatile all-rounder at a competitive price. For us, it’s the best value option in this test. The triple outlet ports are very useful, while USB-C input/output supports the latest devices and permits rapid mains charging.
