The Best Portable Chargers on Amazon, According to Hyperenthusiastic Reviewers

Here at the Strategist, we like to think of ourselves as crazy (in the good way) about the stuff we buy, but as much as we’d like to, we can’t try everything. Which is why we have People’s Choice in which we find the best-reviewed products and single out the most convincing ones.

And while we’ve written about lots of chargers before — including one writer’s favorite light-up charger, the best wireless chargers, and the best charging stand — here we’ve rounded up the best portable chargers and power banks, as praised by the most enthusiastic reviewers on Amazon.
With over 18,000 five-star reviews, this charger is often described as compact and light, making it a favorite for travel. One frequent traveler writes, “In celebration of my seniority of 70 years, I am making my next two-month trip with just a small Marmot backpack and an Eagle Creek Load Hauler Expandable duffel. Packing weight and compactness is my primary motivation for anything I take on the next trip. One extra pound is too much for this trip, so I chose the Anker PowerCore+ Mini 3350 mAh lipstick charger, which weighs around three ounces.” Many also call this charger “reliable” and a “necessity,” like one who writes, “I absolutely trust this charger. With a surplus of portable chargers on the market, it’s difficult to identify and separate the good from the junk. I’ve tried over eight different ones and can’t say enough about this extremely reliable, user friendly, and ergonomically distinct product that can fit in your pocket.” Many who use it constantly can attest to its strength, like one who writes, “During the height of Pokémon Go, my 5-year-old and I spent hours in Central Park hunting for imaginary beasts, and I found my cell phone battery was not up to the task. I purchased this charger two months ago to help with my power needs and it delivered. I get a full charge and a half from this.”
