Those looking for a good portable charger deal may be in luck with this next entry, especially if you’re looking to keep it to around $20. Amazon has recently chopped 23% off the price of the Anker PowerCore 10K, which offers a 10,000mAh battery pack, and charging via USB-C, USB-A and Qi wireless.
It’s our top pick for the best portable charger or battery pack on the market, thanks in part to its lightweight, durable design and the inclusion of wireless charging. The USB-C port offers 18W charging, which isn’t the fastest available, though it also boasts a durable design that’s drop-tested for up to 3.2 feet. The USB-C port also supports two-way charging, while the device is compatible with a wide range of brands and devices, from Samsung and Google to Apple, and still more.
✅Recommended if: you want a portable charger or power bank that features wireless and wired charging for Android phones and other devices; you want a super lightweight, slim portable charger that’s easy to carry in your pocket, a laptop sleeve, or another bag; you need something durable and scratch-resistant that’s been effectively drop-tested.
❌Skip this deal if: you’d prefer a portable charger that includes an interface displaying its power level; you don’t care about wireless charging and would rather go with an even smaller power bank or something with a different overall shape; you need something with more power and/or a wide range of connectivity options, or something that can charge three or more devices at once.
The Anker PowerCore 10K is one of our favorite portable chargers for a number of resaons, from the wireless and fast USB-C charging to its durable, ultra-slim design. It weighs just 8.6 ounces and features a design that’s perfect for laying most phones on top to let them charge wirelessly. Purchase also comes with an 18-month warranty.
Anker says the device is super sturdy, having been drop-tested for up to 3.2 feet. The company also points to its scratch resistance, as assisted by the textured housing. As part of the current deal, Amazon is also offering two of the units for a slightly larger discount, if you have a need for two. This particular deal is also available in either black or white.
To be sure, the PowerCore 10K normally sells for $26, which we considered a little on the expensive side at the time of release. With 23% off it comes down to just $20, which may make it feel like a little bit more of a justifiable purchase for those who are apprehensive.
