11 Travel-Friendly Portable Chargers
In 2017, our phones are no longer just phones. We use them to fire off emails, snap all our photographs, get directions to wherever we’re going, check our bank accounts, and more. And when it comes to travel, we need peace of mind that whether our mode of transport has outlets, or not, we’ll be able to recharge. Here, 11 travel-friendly portable chargers—from well-respected, less than $20 options, to top-of-the-line, worth-investing-in models—that will ensure you’re never frantically placing a call on one percent battery again.
RAVPower 16750mAh External Battery Charger
This slim $30 option packs a punch with dual ports for double the charging and enough juice to revive an iPhone 7 five times over. Don't believe it given the price? The Amazon best-seller has 9,942 five-star reviews.
EMTEC Power Pouch
Compatible with iPhone, Android, and Samsung Galaxy, this nifty power pouch is great for day-to-day use. Hook your phone up to the hidden reserve battery for two full charges or 27 hours of talk time.
Anker PowerCore 20100
This pocket-sized charger can recharge an iPhone 7 almost seven times, a Galaxy S6 five times, or an iPad mini 4 twice. It also comes with an 18-month warranty, but given its 7,630 five-star reviews—we don't think you'll be needing it.
