Recommended Portable Battery Banks With Cables

My personal favorite is the Sunpolin which gives you the option of using MagSafe wireless charging or the built-in cables, has 5 V, 9 V, and 12 V PD charging capabilities, very decent overall capacity at 32.12 Wh, and the fastest recharge rate at 19.2 W. The MagSafe is also surprisingly sturdy, and the built-in stand can hold your phone in portrait or landscape mode while wirelessly charging. To me, the only downsides of the Sunpolin are that it only has USB-C and Lightning cables, it has no USB-A port, and even though it supports 12 V PD, I couldn’t get it to charge my MacBook.

The VRURC square is just as compact and energy dense as the Sunpolin, but also includes USB-Micro and USB-A cords as well as a traditional USB-A port but lacks wireless charging. So, if you have some older devices that need USB-Micro or proprietary charging cables that need USB-A then the VRURC square is right for you.

The WeeFancy is another all-around great pick with a nice slim form factor giving it the highest power density both by volume and weight and it has USB-A and C ports, built-in Lightning and USB-C cables, and I was especially impressed by the power delivery implementation that not only had good charging speeds for my Google Pixel and iPhone 13 Pro, but could also charge my MacBook using 12 V Power Delivery. So, if you’re looking for the most power in the smallest package, the WeeFancy is right for you.

The Anker Zolo was pretty underwhelming in the sense that it had below average capacity, below average power density, and only a single built-in USB-C cable that just loops around and doesn’t really store away, but it was the only bank that supports 20 V PD. So, if that’s what you need it’s kind of your only option, and the good news is that it’s also pretty inexpensive.

If you want a battery bank with an AC plug the Charmast is the best and not only supports pass through charging at the highest rate, but also has a slightly higher capacity than the other AC plug banks. However, even though the built-in plug is convenient, all the other features of the Charmast are worse than my other recommendations.
