Best power banks to buy right now
10,000mAh charges a phone about twice and fits a pocket; 20,000mAh covers a weekend away. To charge a laptop, look for USB-C Power Delivery of 65W or more. Anything up to 27,000mAh is allowed in airline hand luggage, but never in the hold.
Best for most people
1. Anker Zolo 20,000mAh 30W
Built-in USB-C · 20W · 30W · 20,000mAh
Enough for about four iPhone 15 charges, with a built-in USB-C cable so you never forget one. 30W output fast-charges phones and recharges the bank itself at 20W. It is not powerful enough to charge most laptops at full speed.
Best for laptops
2. Anker 20,000mAh 87W
Built-in USB-C · 2 USB-C, 1 USB-A · 87W total, 65W single port · 20,000mAh
Up to 65W from a single port is enough to charge a MacBook Air or similar laptop, and it can share 87W across three devices. The built-in cable is rated for over 10,000 bends. It is heavier than a phone-only bank.
Best pocket-sized
3. INIU 10,000mAh 45W
Detachable braided USB-C · 45W · 10,000mAh
A small 10,000mAh bank that still pushes 45W, enough to fast-charge a phone or an iPad. The cable detaches, so a broken cord does not mean a dead power bank. It gives nearly two phone charges, so heavy users may want 20,000mAh.
Best for Android phones
4. UGREEN Nexode 20,000mAh 45W
Built-in USB-C, USB-C, USB-A · 45W in and out · 20,000mAh
45W in both directions supports Samsung Super Fast Charging and refills the bank quickly. It charges three devices at once, and the built-in cable doubles as a lanyard. 45W is too little for larger laptops.
Best for power-hungry laptops
5. UGREEN Nexode 200W 25,000mAh
200W · TFT display · 25,000mAh · PD 3.1
PD 3.1 and 200W output can charge a 16 inch MacBook Pro, and the screen shows remaining charge, voltage and current. It suits people who work from a laptop on the move. It is bigger and heavier than you need for phones alone.
Best for travel
6. Anker 25,000mAh 165W
2 built-in USB-C (one retractable) · 165W total, 100W per port · 25,000mAh
Two built-in USB-C cables, one retractable, plus three 100W ports mean no extra cables in your bag. It can charge four devices at once, including a laptop. It is a large bank, so it lives in a backpack rather than a pocket.
Best budget
7. Anker 10,000mAh 30W
Built-in USB-C · 30W · 10,000mAh
A compact 10,000mAh bank with a built-in USB-C cable and 30W output, good for about two iPhone 15 charges. It is a simple everyday carry from a well-known brand. There is only one cable, so it charges one device at a time without a second lead.
Nothing matches those filters. Try fewer filters, or search for a brand like "MSI" or "Crucial".
How we rank
Ordered by how well each sells in its Amazon UK category, what the listing confirms (specs, battery, compatibility, sizes), and price. We have not handled these products: the write-ups rest on what each listing states. Prices and stock are checked daily.
Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Each Amazon UK price shows the date and time it was checked. We earn a small commission if you buy through our links, at no cost to you. It never changes the order. More about how we work.
