The best power banks for travelling

A good power bank can be a life-saver when you're on the road

- CLIFF JOSEPH

A portable power bank can often come in handy if you need to top up your iPhone’s battery when you’re travelling. But it’s not just iPhones that we have to worry about these days. You’re just as likely to have a set of AirPods or other headphones with you, an Apple Watch, and maybe even an iPad. Some of the more basic power banks may only have a single connector for charging one device at a time, but many of the latest models now give you the ability to charge several different devices at once. A good power bank will also have a combination of USB-A and USB-C ports, and even a Qi wireless charging pad too.

Anker's product names and numbers are a bit confusing, so you need to pay close attention when ordering their products online. It's worth the effort, though, as power banks like the Anker 533 aka the PowerCore III or PowerCore 10K - are really good value for money.
