Due to technological advances, you don’t have to feel stranded anymore in times of need. A power bank is a portable charger for mobile devices that are perfect when your battery needs a boost. We’ve found the most-recommend solutions everyone can use on the go.

When purchasing a power bank, consider how long the device lasts. Those that charge your device quicker take longer to charge. Consider how often you would use the power bank, and where. For example, if you want a portable one which is lighter, opt for a lower watt. 

Here’s a look at the best power banks on the market according to star ratings and expert knowledge. Never again will you fear a lack of charge!

This RAVPower has a three-prong AC outfit with a power supply on and off indicator for any device up to 70W. To simply turn the power on, hold the power button for eight seconds, and repeat to turn it off. This power bank charges up to three devices at one point with its different ports.

The power bank itself rechargers faster than ever. In just over five hours, it’ll be fully charged with the 8 LED indicators displaying the power level. The built-in air vents have a quiet fan to keep it cool whilst its being used in its maximum capacity.

This power bank fully recharges in 13 hours with included iSmart charger to save at least 50 percent of your time. The external battery can be taken on an airplane too, so it’s perfect for travellers. Once fully charged, the power bank will last on average nine days. The improved safety technology will achieve a safer and higher current conversion thanks to the iSmart 2.0 and Panasonic Smart technology.

This ultra-reliable power bank works on an A+ Lithium-Ion USB battery. With intuitive battery level indicators, you can keep track of your battery life with 25 percent increments. Each light will turn on once it reaches certain levels.

This power bank charges using solar energy and can also recharge via a power outlet. We recommend that you use the solar charging feature as an emergency back-up solution, rather than the main power source. This is because low/uneven levels of sunlight can affect the charging capabilities. Using a DC adaptor is speedier and great for those on the go.

The power bank is built for outdoors with a rugged construction against shock, water and dust. The LED emergency light works in strong, probe and SOS modes. This is an ideal power bank for people who love being outdoors, or those who work from their device.
