Whether I’m heading into the city for the day or embarking on a long-haul flight, I always bring something to keep my many devices powered.

Even if I know there will probably be an outlet nearby, a battery pack has become a trusted part of my everyday carry, not least because I rarely travel without my iPhone, AirPods, laptop, and Nintendo Switch 2. It means I’m not dependent on whether a power port is working – something that’s especially hit-or-miss on planes – and it makes quick top-ups on the go effortless.

With 10,000mAh onboard, it can easily recharge my iPhone 17 Pro Max, handle smaller accessories like AirPods Pro, and split power between devices when needed, including giving my MacBook Pro or Nintendo Switch 2 a boost.

I’ve used this Anker portable charger on commuter trains, at 30,000 feet on a United Airlines flight, and during full days at Disney World, where my phone is constantly in use for photos, navigation, and the Disney app. It’s kept up without issue.

It’s also held up well to daily use and the occasional drop. While the lighter finish shows some scuffs, charging performance hasn’t been affected. I’ll keep bringing it with me on the road — and it’s clearly resonating with shoppers, too, having been purchased more than 3,000 times in the past month. With the current discount bringing it down to $22.99, it’s easy to see why.
