As much as we've talked about portable chargers, we've yet to come across one that I would call affordable (excluding the various deals we've found, of course). Satechi just changed all that, though; it released a 10k mAh power pack for $50. Fifty dollars! Considering I've reviewed portable chargers with half that capacity for nearly double the cost, I woudl say this one is a good deal right out of the gate.
Not only that, but it's a dual USB charger, so it can juice up two devices at one time. It has a 5V/1A port for devices like smartphones, and a higher-rated 5V/2A port for more power hungry devices. While tablet compatibility is yet to be seen, this unit will definitely provide all the juice you could possibly need to keep your smartphone powered up for a few days.
You can grab it directly from Satechi or on Amazon.
