10. Jackery Bar

The Jackery Bar makes a great addition to any travel kit, as it comes in a size that's small enough to fit easily into a pocket and even features a built-in LED light for finding your way in the dark. It's not the most powerful option out there, but it is very convenient.

Comes in a few different colors
Stylish aluminum casing
Ports are too close together

Brand	Jackery
Model	Jackery Bar Premium

9. RavPower 22000

Anyone looking for a compromise between size and milliamp hours should consider the RavPower 22000. Its ergonomically-curved chassis makes it appear much smaller than it actually is, especially in the palm of your hand, though it still manages to hold plenty of juice.

Reasonably priced
A little heavy for its size
Not as durable as other models

Brand	RAVPower
Model	CA-RP-PB010-B
Weight	14.4 ounces
Rating	3.9 / 5.0

8. Samsung Fast Charge

Ideal for users of the company's phones, but good for anyone with a quick-charging device, the Samsung Fast Charge is supposed to be able to bring your battery up to 50 percent in 30 minutes. That can feel like a godsend when you're on-the-go or in an emergency situation.

Multi-led indicator light
Allows for pass-through charging
No lightning port

Brand	Samsung
Model	EB-PN920USEGUS
Weight	2.4 ounces
Rating	4.8 / 5.0

7. Aukey Quick Charge 3.0

WIth a sizeable 30000mAh capacity, the Aukey Quick Charge 3.0 is capable of reviving your phone several times over, or even a tablet a few times, before going dead itself. Its wealth of cable ports, including mini-USB and Lightning, make it a pretty versatile option, too.

Offers adaptive charging
Protects against overheating
Not the most portable size

Brand	AUKEY
Model	PB-T11-US
Weight	1.6 pounds
Rating	3.6 / 5.0

6. Goal Zero Flip 20

The unique thing about the Goal Zero Flip 20 is that it has an articulated USB flip tip for wall charging, which cuts down on the amount of cable you need to carry around. That can be a little awkward in some situations, but it's a feature not many other models offer.

Compatible with nomad 7 solar panel
Compact and rugged construction
Only has standard usb port

Brand	Goal Zero
Model	21907
Weight	7 ounces
Rating	4.0 / 5.0

5. Mophie Space Grey

The Mophie Space Grey has just about everything you'd want in a mid-size power bank, including two ports, a pass-through charging mode, and a low-profile design that looks great sitting on a table at your local coffee shop. Unfortunately, it comes at a pretty steep cost.

Includes two cables
Preserves its charge well
Has one usb-c port

Brand	mophie
Model	3555_PWRSTION_USBC-SMTP
Weight	12.8 ounces
Rating	4.6 / 5.0

4. Anker PowerCore 5000

Coming in a package that's not much bigger than a lipstick, the Anker PowerCore 5000 is hands-down one of the most portable options available. Don't let it's puny size fool you, though: at 5,000 mAh, this model packs an impressive punch.

Compensates for cable resistance
Also great for cameras
Provides only one or two charges

Brand	Anker
Model	AK-A1109011
Weight	7 ounces
Rating	5.0 / 5.0

Perfect for Android users, the Tronsmart Presto comes packed with tons of advanced features, including a high 20,000 mAh capacity, the ability to accommodate three devices at once, and both Quick Charge 3.0 and USB-C ports. At this price, it's also a great value.

Weight	1.3 pounds

2. Jackery Bolt
