Best Power Banks (2026): My Picks After Testing Over 100

Other Portable Chargers I Tested

There are so many portable chargers out there. Here are a few more I like that just missed out on a place above for one reason or another. We also have separate guides for the Best Laptop Power Banks, Best MagSafe Power Banks, and Best Portable Power Stations.

How slim can a MagSafe power bank get? This one is just 0.27 inches, the thinnest I’ve tested, and it sticks to the back of your iPhone (or Qi2 Android phone) magnetically. It only charges at 7.5 watts, but use the tiny, braided USB-C cable and that can boost up to 22.5 watts. The NFC app connection to show exact remaining power was flaky in my testing, but it’s not required to use. If you don’t mind something slightly thicker (0.5 inches), you can double the capacity and get Qi2 charging with the next model up ($70), but both are frequently discounted, so don’t pay full price.

This is an affordable 20,000 mAh capacity power bank with a cable that doubles as a carry loop. The USB-C cable and port can deliver a maximum of 67 watts (PD), and the USB-A can hit 22.5 watts, but those speeds drop if you charge multiple devices at once. It won’t fast charge everything, and you won’t get the full capacity stated, but it’s a pretty good value.

Interesting and innovative, this magnetic power bank doubles as a camera grip with a built-in Bluetooth shutter button. There’s also a display showing how much of the 9,300 mAh capacity remains, a retractable USB-C cable, and a tripod thread.

Don’t Bother With These Power Banks

These portable chargers I tested aren’t necessarily terrible, but you can do better.

UGreen MagFlow Pro for $100: I actually quite like this magnetic, wireless charging power bank (Qi2 25W) with its Matrix-style screen that animates to show charging status. But considering the 10,000 mAh capacity, the price is absolutely bonkers. The marketing talks up its cooling properties, but it got very warm when I used it. The attached USB-C cable (45W) is annoyingly obtrusive when it was stuck to the back of my iPhone too.

OnePlus Slim Magnetic Power Bank for $70: Sleek in silver-gray aluminum with a chamfered edge, this power bank looks lovely, but the 5,000-mAh capacity is just over half that after inefficiency takes a bite.

Iniu Portable Charger for $21: It’s very small for a 10,000-mAh capacity. You can charge at up to 45 watts from either of the USB-C ports or 18 watts from the USB-A, but recharging is slow, it fell short of the stated capacity, and the display sometimes failed to update correctly.

FansDreams MChaos for $46: I love the idea of a wearable power bank, and this one comes in lime green with a carabiner that makes it easy to attach to a bag, but recharging is slow, and you’ll be lucky to get one full charge for your phone. It’s also currently sold out.

iWalk Portable Charger for $27: The 4,800-mAh capacity won’t come close to fully refilling your device, but it’s tiny enough to keep in a bag at all times.
