Huge 26800mAh Aukey USB C Power Bank is only $56 ($24 off) on Amazon with coupon
Charge all the things
If you've been looking for a power bank that can charge almost all of your tech, you might want to look at the 26800mAh Aukey USB C Power Bank. It's capable of charging almost any USB C devices, including laptops, at up to 65W, and you can get it for only $56 on Amazon right now — if you use the coupon code PYN3RRGG during checkout, that is.Our own Corbin Davenport gives it an almost perfect score of 9/10 in his review and writes: "The Aukey Power Bank does exactly what it claims: it can charge all your USB-PD devices at roughly the same rate as a full-powered wall connector." Sure, it's a rather bulky thing, measuring 6.5 x 3.4 x 1.2 inches and weighing 1.54 pounds, but as long as there are no breakthroughs in battery technology, that's as small as 26800mAh can get. Corbin criticizes that only one of the two available USB C ports charges at a full 65W, while the other is capped at 18W, so you'll need to pay attention which of the two you use to charge something like your laptop or tablet. There's also a USB A port if you have one of these cables lying around.
Maybe we're all not traveling much right now, but you can never have too many portable batteries. No matter if you're prepping for a post-coronavirus vacation, or simply want to charge your devices away from a wall outlet, one of Aukey's 20,000mAh batteries is now just $28 on Amazon.This battery has a capacity of 20,000mAh, which is enough to fully charge most smartphones and tablets several times over. However, it still has a relatively-slim design, at just 14mm thick (0.55 inches) and 435g (15.3oz). The main catch is that the maximum charging speed is only 15W — good enough for phones, but you'll be waiting a long time for larger devices like tablets or the Nintendo Switch to hit 100%.
While there might not be a lot of traveling going on right now, portable batteries can still come in handy during power cuts and other situations. One of Anker's 20,000mAh units is now just $30 at Newegg, while the same battery currently goes for at Amazon.The PowerCore Lite 20000mAh has two USB Type-A ports for charging devices, and you can top up the battery itself using either microUSB or USB Type-C (the Type-C port is input-only). There's also a trickle-charge mode, for lower-power electronics like wireless earbuds.
Buying a portable battery can be a tricky process, especially in the modern age of USB Power Delivery. With USB-PD being the finicky standard that it is, not all devices work with all chargers — a battery that is perfectly compatible with your phone might not charge your Chromebook at all.Thankfully, for those of you looking wanting a battery that can quickly charge just about any device, Aukey's new Power Bank 26800mAh does the job nicely. We also had a peek at the company's smaller 10,000mAh model, which has a slower maximum charging speed but does add a Qi charging pad.
Graphene technology is, without a doubt, the best mobile battery innovation to emerge in the 21st century. Not only do graphene batteries hold up to 20% more energy than a lithium-ion alternative of the same size, they also generate far less heat while charging. Consumer products packing this next-generation tech are still quite rare, but you can be one of three lucky winners to own a Chargeasap Flash portable power bank crafted with graphene cells. Here's what you need to know.
Whether you're puttering around town, traveling for a work conference, or hanging out at a public event, the last thing you ever want to see is your phone battery dipping below that 20% mark. For these cases when you don't have a wall charger handy, you need a reliable portable battery that packs enough power to recharge your mobile devices not just once, but multiple times, if necessary. To help you find the best of the best, we've put together a list of our five favorite USB-C Power Delivery charging banks that can top off all your gadgets on the go.
Spring is just a little more than one month away, which means you're soon going to be getting outside, enjoying the weather, and spending countless hours away from the nearest wall charger. To keep your phone juiced up during your excursions, you'll need a worthy mobile power bank that's as easy to carry as it is powerful. Right now, you can snatch up an Anker PowerCore 10000 PD Redux for a paltry .79 (.20) at Amazon.The Anker PowerCore 10000 PD Redux is a half-pound power bank that's compact enough to easily tuck inside a bag or purse. It features a 10,000 mAh battery, three different charging modes (18W PD USB-C port, powered-enabled USB-A port, and trickle-charge for low-power devices), and it can even charge two devices at the same time. With a USB-C PD wall charger (not included), the Anker PowerCore 10000 PD Redux can be topped off in as little as 3.5 hours so that it's always ready for your next adventure.
Despite the leaps and bounds our favorite mobile devices have scaled over the last decade, battery innovation has been a painstakingly slow process. As a result, many phone manufacturers have resorted to stuffing larger batteries into their devices just to offset the constraints of power density. However, thanks to ongoing work on graphene technology, the limitations of yesterday's batteries will soon be a distant grievance. Today, Chargeasap is introducing the Flash, its first portable power bank that's built using next-generation graphene cells.
Large areas of California – from the Sacramento Valley, to northern Sierra, and along the North Coast – have recently gone dark as local energy providers killed the power grid to ward off potential wildfires. Unfortunately, these extreme measures have left tens of thousands of residents without electricity, air conditioning, or a way to power mobile devices for weeks at a time, and more blackouts may be on the way. In an attempt to help residents combat lengthy outages, Jackery is offering its Explorer 240 Portable Power Station+ 60w SolarSaga solar panel for $60 off with a promo code.
