How Portable Power Banks Changed The Way I Travel<\/h2>\n

As a tech-nerd, I bring my electronics with me no matter where I go.<\/p>\n

My iPhone, laptop, Nintendo Switch, and GoPro get used every day and when you’re out in the middle of the woods with no electricity, it becomes a challenge to keep them alive.<\/p>\n

Related Product: If compatible, us a solar panel like the Portable Powkey 60W Panel (click to view on Amazon)<\/a> to charge your portable power bank.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I remember before I bought a portable power bank how I would spend time in front of outlets at Starbucks, restaurants, even some retail stores.<\/p>\n

I always had the charger with me in case I would run into an outlet. But let me tell you, I am glad that’s a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

When I bought my 10,000mAh portable power supply, it was very expensive compared to what’s available today.<\/p>\n

Today you can buy a portable power bank that will charge your phone for a whole week for the price I paid just a few years ago.<\/p>\n

Since USB has evolved, and USB-C can charge laptops and even gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch, one big battery could be all you need for all your devices.<\/p>\n

In this review, I would like to share the best portable power bank chargers on the market for travel and camping.<\/p>\n

I decided to pick products from several price points to give you an option no matter what kind of budget you have.<\/p>\n

If you don’t know what mAh means and how to calculate how many times you can charge your device, scroll down to the Frequently Asked Questions where I will go through this.<\/p>\n

One more thing, while there are power banks with built-in solar panels, they’re way too small to be efficient and convenient.<\/p>\n

Leaving batteries directly in sunlight is also not recommended.<\/p>\n

If you want to charge your power bank with solar, I recommend buying a solar panel that you connect to the battery bank.<\/p>\n

Best Portable Battery Banks Reviews<\/h2>\n

1. INIU 10000mAh 22.5W Power Bank<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"INIU<\/a><\/p>\n

Check Price at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

INIU is a relatively new brand that quickly has become popular in the portable power bank market.<\/p>\n

It makes batteries in different sizes, and the first one I am adding to the list is its 10,000mAh model.<\/p>\n

It’s a very small and portable battery, which is large enough to charge most phones at least twice.<\/p>\n

Even though it’s small, its feature-packed. It has a battery indicator shown as a percentage, several outputs, and quick charging.<\/p>\n

The USB C PD port is both an input and an output, and can output up to 22.5 watts.<\/p>\n

The max input wattage is 20W. That’s extremely fast for a portable battery this size.<\/p>\n

To charge your devices at close to 20W, it needs to support fast charging.<\/p>\n

See Also:\u00a0Best Lightweight Hiking & Backpacking Chairs Reviewed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The latest iPhone 12 series, and the older iPhone 11 Series support 18-20W.<\/p>\n

The Samsung, LG, and Google phones and devices that support QC charging can be charged at up to 18W.<\/p>\n

Using the USB A ports, you’ll be able to charge phones, tablets, headphones, smartwatches, and similar devices at up to 18W.<\/p>\n

One neat feature with the INIU 10,000mAh is the small built-in phone holder that lets you stand the phone up on its side while it’s charging.<\/p>\n

It’s a small flap that folds out to support the phone in landscape mode.<\/p>\n

With a compatible PD wall charger, the battery can recharge in as quick as three hours. INIU makes and sells a compatible that will do the job.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite features is the battery percentage shown on the front of the battery.<\/p>\n

Instead of having 3-5 LED lights that indicate how charged the battery is, you’ll get an exact percentage.<\/p>\n

The percentage makes it easy to track and know how much of the battery your device require, and when it’s time to recharge.<\/p>\n

Included with the INIU 10000mAh 22.5W Power Bank<\/a> is a USB A to USB C cable to charge the battery, and a storage pouch to protect it during travel.<\/p>\n
