Product Information

Tylt also wisely left enough of a gap between the battery and the bottle that you can coil a small USB-C cord (included) into that space. That way, even if you're not charging wirelessly, you're not adding a lot of extra bulk to your bag. It's a smart setup. Generally speaking, you charge the battery itself via micro USB or USB-C (input). Some batteries charge faster than others and USB-C charges much faster than micro USB. Our favorite power bank has a 10,000mAh battery, and the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has a 5,000mAh battery, so the math should be simple, right? It charges twice. Except that's not how it works. Power banks are not 100% efficient, and even though you start with plenty of power, a lot of it is lost in the charging process. They tend to be just as solid in quality, but much cheaper than their branded counterparts. Anker PowerCore Power banks can get expensive if you want something with a large capacity and the ability to charge several different devices. However, they have gone down in value over the years thanks to the development in lithium batteries.

This is the ultimate power station for the long-session holiday angler. It will charge a smartphone from 0% to 100% a staggering 52 times or more. It will also power a laptop for 30 hours, a mini-fridge for 10 hours, and charge a high-end camera over 25 times. The Anker Nano is only 5,000mAh, but that doesn't mean it can fully charge a 5,000mAh phone battery like you'll find in the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Power banks are about 60-70% efficient, depending on the phone's technology, so this power bank is good for charging an iPhone 15 to nearly full, but that big Ultra will only get about 65% charge.Wireless charging has become popular because it allows you to power up compatible devices without a cable. Qi is the dominant standard for compatible Android phones (up to 18W) while Apple iPhones rely on MagSafe charging (up to 15W). iPhones will charge wirelessly on Qi chargers, but only at 7.5W. It will charge a typical modern smartphone from 0% to 100% between 22 and 26 times. This is more than enough for a week-long session with a tablet, phone, camera, and laptop… For the more serious campaign angler, a power bank of 70,000 to 100,000mAh may be a smarter option. This kind of size will keep you going for one to two weeks depending on what you’re charging with it. Nearly all batteries include a standard USB-A port (output). This is for plugging in USB-A-to-micro-USB, USB-A-to-Lightning, or USB-A-to-USB-C cables for charging your iPhone or Android device.

The next question is how you want to charge your device. You can find a power bank that charges your phone (or even your Apple Watch) wirelessly. These will usually charge slower, but they can be very convenient if you want to leave wires at home. If you’re a long session angler or someone that needs a power bank for a variety of electronic items, then this is a fantastic choice. It’s still pretty lightweight and extremely robust, so it’s not a huge burden to bring along (gone are the days of the rigged-up car battery power bank). The number and type of devices you need to charge as well as the length of your sessions will affect how big a power bank you need. Capable of charging your laptop, phone or tablet several times, this is an essential addition to your armoury if you’re doing long sessions. It will charge your smartphone about 11 times, a tablet about 7 times and a laptop 2-3 times. Buy NowNow on to the next RidgeMonkey product on the list. The 77850mAh C-Smart Vault is a more powerful version of the Vault above. This one is for the angler that perhaps takes longer sessions or brings more power-hungry electronics to the bank. If you have a newer Android phone, or the latest iPhone 15 models, you'll want a power bank with faster charging speeds to get your battery full faster. Charging speed is measured in wattage, and the iPhone 15 can charge just a bit faster than 15W, while the Galaxy S23 Ultra can charge up to 45W. Power banks with a capacity exceeding 160Wh are strictly prohibited by various airlines internationally. For example, power banks with a capacity of 20000mAh or less than 100 watt-hours can be carried in cabin luggage. 7. Which is better, a 10000mAh or 20000mAh power bank?

Now, these stats are actually quite comparable to the Fox Halo 96k power bank. Honestly, if you just need something for charging simple appliances such as phones, tablets, laptops, and batteries I’d opt for the Fox Halo power bank. However, the Anker Power Station comes into its own because of its range of outlets.You need fast power: This is a very slow charger, whether wired or wireless, so it's better for casual charging while you sip your water and read a book.
