ZeroLemon's SolarJuice batteries offer the promise of recharging away from an outlet. Leave the pack out in the sun and watch light turn into energy that powers your phone. In reality, you have to leave it out for a day or so to get any juice that way, and you will probably still end up sticking it in the wall.No matter. It remains a great pack. And now it's one you can get for a mere fraction of its usual price. Instead of paying $34.99, the coupon code JCZMCHXN will let you checkout for $9.99 instead.

Anker is a solid brand in batteries, and 20000mAh is quite a bit of power. Put the two together and you have a compelling product. Drop the price down to $26.99, and you have a good deal.On Amazon, you can currently find a good deal. The Anker PowerCore 20100 battery pack has a 20000mAh capacity and two USB ports. The box includes a single microUSB cable and a travel pouch.Now here's what you don't get. QuickCharge. USB Type C. If either of those are deal breakers, look elsewhere. This pack is not going to charge your Nexus 6P in 30 minutes. Instead, you're looking at charging some other microUSB device in two or three hours, and the battery itself may take over ten hours to recharge.But if you're like me, most of the gadgets in your home still have microUSB ports. And besides, USB 3.0 to Type C cables aren't exactly hard to find. This is a solid Prime Exclusive deal, and it ends in just under nine hours.Source: Amazon

Do you want power? More power? Faster power? If the answer is yes, then you've come to the right deal alert post. This RAVPower external battery has everything I'd want in a portable charger nowadays and it's discounted today on Amazon to an all-time low price of $47.99.So why am I gushing about this battery pack? Well, it's not because of its 20100mAh capacity or dual USB output ports or 4 LED indicator lights. Those are pretty standard for any external battery. There are three other great selling points to this RAVPower:

Portable chargers are nice. They don't quite make up for phones with crappy battery life, but they come close. Plus they bring the peace of mind that comes from knowing you won't be tethered to a wall if your phone decides it won't make it through the evening.You can grab one at full price, but the reason you're reading this is so that you don't have to. So let's cut straight to the chase. Kmashi is offering a 20,000mAh external battery on Amazon for .98. With the coupon code 3Z9KLROS, you can knock that price down to $19.99.Why pick this pack over another one? Well, aside from the obvious availability of a coupon code, there's the added benefit of having Quick Charge 2.0 compatibility. That's something that was missing the last time we highlighted a Kmashi battery with this capacity at this price. You have two USB ports to work with and a flashlight that can come in handy in the dark.

You could say external battery packs are the AA batteries of our times. They breathe life into your phone during an emergency, and some even come with a flashlight built-in. Such is the case with the RAVPower 16,750mAh portable charger that is currently Amazon's deal of the day.This charger is going for .99, which Amazon lists as a discount of 79%. According to CamelCamelCamel, the battery usually sits at somewhere over $30. Regardless, you're saving money on a sizable battery pack that should be able to charge your device several times. With two USB ports, you can power multiples at once.There are downsides to this product. It's not Quick Charge compatible, nor does it have USB C ports, but it does have 4.5A output altogether. It also has a snazzy LED light on top that shows you how much of a charge remains. That is not at all rare to see on a battery, but this one's blue and looks cool. For the next fourteen hours, you can buy the discounted battery in your choice of black or white. After that, the deal ends.[src]Amazon

External battery packs come in all shapes and sizes, but there's something about a solar panel that makes me want one more. I conjure up images of a battery that never dies and never needs to be charged, that can get me through a power outage after a summer hurricane with an overabundance of energy.In reality, ZeroLemon's Solar Juice power banks might reach a full charge after several days of optimal sunlight. Fortunately, they're good external batteries in other ways. They're water, dust, and shock resistant. They come with two USB ports. They also offer a flashlight. Then there is the generous capacity.ZeroLemon makes many sizes, but today you can get the company's 20,000mAh battery for $19.98 on Amazon. You just have to enter the coupon code Z36GZOGN at checkout to drop the price down from $47.88.

With winter approaching and the possibility of getting snowed in, there's a certain comfort that comes from knowing your phone can stay active throughout a week-long power outage. Being able to place calls and derp around online (assuming the towers are still active) is like a super power.But you aren't born with that innate gift. First you have to buy an external battery pack to replenish your phone's reserves when that icon in the corner goes empty, and preferably a big one.Right now the ZeroLemon ToughJuice pack with a whopping 30000mAh capacity is available from NewEgg for only .99. To put that in perspective, Amazon is selling the battery for .99, and it's calling that a discount from $129.99. StackSocial wants .99 for the same battery, less than Amazon but still twice as much as NewEgg.The ToughJuice power bank doesn't come with quick charging, but it does have four USB ports. You get 2.4A for demanding gadgets and 1A for others. The entire product is wrapped in a durable exterior made of a soft shell and hard plastic, so it should be able to hold up to a fair amount of abuse.The offer will end on January 9th. That gives you some time to think, so long as the site doesn't run out of stock.Source: NewEgg

For some people, an external battery pack provides comfort during a power outage. For others, it's a necessity, a way to avoid being alone once the sun sets.Either way, don't spend your money on a charger that can only re-power your phone once before blowing its load. Instead, wait for a deal online and get something that can go five times as long. Right now you can get the KMASHI 15000mAh battery back on Amazon for $15.99. That's not lower than what we've seen before, but with the coupon code M6UP4WVR, it can be. Those characters bring the price down to just $12.50.Screenshot 2015-12-07 at 10.37.40 AMThis power bank comes with two USB ports (5V / 2A and 5V / 1A) so you can plug in multiple devices at once. It doesn't have an LCD screen like some of the other options, but four LED lights on the side will give you a rough estimate of how much longer the experience will last. As for colors, you get black and red. Whatever your preferences, your phone is bound to be turned on.Source: Amazon

Are you in the market for an external battery pack? No? About to be tempted anyway? I thought so.The Icefox F1 portable charger packs a capacity of 12,000mAh. That's enough to charge your smartphone three or four times, and it can pump at least a couple charges into your tablet while you're at it. With two USB ports, you can charge both at the same time, and Smart IC support means the pack will try to pump juice into both while avoiding overcharging and overvoltage. A little LED screen shows how much power you have left to work with.

This KMASHI 20000mAh external battery is bright blue. That alone should be enough to distinguish it from the couple dozen other external battery packs you've picked up over the years. When the local power grid fails for an entire month, you will be the one guy in town whose smartphone is actually better charged now than it was before everything went dark.Wait, what was I talking about? Right, there's an external battery pack available on Amazon for . It's from KMASHI, and with the coupon code LIKWGR6D, you can bring that price down to $20.

External battery packs are nice to have lying around. They're one type of product where even if you already have one, it's good to have another. Who's going to complain about having too much backup power available?So here's a cheap way to take your current number of battery packs and increase it by one. The HooToo Prism power bank is available on Amazon for $24, but with the use of coupon code E74NXWUD, you can strike that down in half. $12 for 12000mAh? Not bad at all.

You never know when a backup battery might come in handy. You could be sitting there, recording your son giving the high school drama performance of his life when, all of a sudden, that low battery warning pops up. Filming HD video drained it faster than you thought, didn't it? Fortunately you bought that iClever Intocircuit 15,000mAh battery on Amazon. Or you will have bought it after reading this post, and your son's play is actually a week from now.This pack provides 5V/3.1A output through two USB ports, there's a tiny LCD screen that tells you how much of a charge remains, and an LED flashlight comes included because why not? You can currently get it for $28.99, as long as you enter the coupon code INTOCIR1 at checkout.

Today Amazon is offering significant discounts on PNY products ranging from portable battery packs to microSD/SD cards, and flash drives. Savings range from 23% to 67% off.Starting with the microSD cards, the best deal is the 64GB one going for .23, 58% off its regular price. If that's more space than you need, there's a 32GB card reduced down to .49 and a 16GB one reduced to .75.

An external battery pack can provide some peace of mind, but what happens if the power's out long enough to drain it down? Or what if everyone requires more juice on the next camping trip than you plan for? What charges the chargers?

The power's out. This road trip will never end. Camping, again? Fine.Whatever the reason, sometimes you just need extra power when there's no outlet in sight. In those instances, you're going to want the biggest, fattest external battery pack you can find. And if you have to share it, or you have multiple devices, then you're going to want something with more than one USB port.If you head over to StackSocial and happen to live in the US, you can currently get a Limefuel LP200X battery pack with a whopping 20,000mAh of juice. That's enough to recharge your average smartphone at least four or five times, with the number varying depending on just how much junk your handset has in its trunk. The site's only asking for $34.99, significantly cheaper than the usual price of .

Do you have a smartphone? Do you completely rely on it an entire day for navigation, music, gaming, communication, and more? Then you definitely understand the woes of battery life on these modern all-singing all-dancing gadgets. I personally have a charger at home, a dock at work, a car charger, a small portable charger in my purse, but I also like having MOAR POWER just in case I ever need it.That power comes in the form of a big portable battery, the kind that Anker, New Trent, and Limefuel make. I was a Kickstarter backer on the latter's Limeade Blast L130X, a 13000mAh unit with two USB outputs, a handy carrying case, and a 2-in-1 MicroUSB and 30-pin cable. Over the past year, I've used it during all-day activities like hiking, but also as a replacement to the wall charger while sitting on my summer house's porch. It's been incredibly handy to have.So when the folks at Limefuel asked if I could review their Rugged model, I jumped at the opportunity. This one promised the same features that I already loved in my L130X with a slightly larger 15000mAh battery, but more importantly, it is water, dirt, and shock proof.

There's only so much you can say about portable batteries. Power goes in, power goes out, phone charges up. Here at Android Police, we generally just recommend that people buy the biggest battery with the smallest price tag, which usually ends up being one of the various Anker models sold on Amazon. But manufacturer UNU is trying to shake things up with the new Ultrapak Tour series, which they claim charge in a fraction of the time of standard external lithium-polymer battery packs. As in, fast enough that you can get a "full phone charge" worth of power in 15 minutes.

There is no such thing as too much battery capacity. When it comes to smartphones and gadgets, the more additional power you can pack for a long day or a short trip the better. That's why we're telling you about this 36% discount on a Limefuel Lite 15,000 mAh Lithium-ion external battery pack. It's down from its regular  price on Amazon to .99 on StackSocial with free shipping.

Think back to how annoying it was the last time you sat down on a couch without access to a power outlet. What about that chair situated in the awkward corner of the living room? College kids stuck on the top bunk - you know the feeling I'm talking about. We have these increasingly powerful Android devices without batteries large enough to hold a decent charge, and far too often having access to a power outlet is more important than aesthetics or comfort. Well here's yet another Kickstarter project that promises to scratch this itch, and no, it doesn't involve anything as quirky as strapping a battery to your ankle. Meet Power Pillow, a product that promises to recharge more than just your body the next time you take a nap.

Last time I checked, most phones couldn't make it through a long weekend without a little time tethered to an outlet. If you find your gadget batteries regularly hitting the red, or just simply dying, it might be time to invest in a battery pack. Newegg might have the perfect solution for anybody in need of some extra juice when they're out and about, the RAVPower 10,000mAh Power Bank. It's on sale today for just $24.99 with free shipping.
