If you're someone who uses a wide variety of devices in your daily life, it's important to keep your batteries charged up (ideally, without a dozen different cords and devices). The last thing you want is to go on a trip and have your phone, Nintendo Switch, or tablet die on the first day. That's where power banks and chargers come in handy. These little devices are always useful to have on-hand, and if you've been looking for a reliable brand to invest in, we're big fans of Anker here at Mashable.

Anker makes our list of the best portable chargers and power banks in 2025. It's also a brand that frequently sees discounts throughout the year, especially during major sale events like Amazon Prime Day — but Anker's price points are still worth a look even without a deal.

We gathered eight of our favorite Anker charging accessories to make your charger choice easier. These picks are sourced from a variety of individuals across Mashable's team, including our tech reporters, so you can find the best pick for any situation.

Why we like it

If you're on the hunt for a plug-in charger to keep on-hand for your devices, look no further than the Anker GaN Prime charger. Boasting a maximum output of 67W, this wall charger features two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, so you can charge up three devices at once, whether that be your phone, tablet, or laptop. And thanks to its compact design, you can throw it in pretty much any size bag or backpack to keep with you while you're on the go.

Anker 735 Charger Nano II

$25.99 at Amazon
$39.99 Save $14.00
 

Why we like it

The Anker 735 Charger Nano II received big praise from Mashable's Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth, who said that this wall charger is "indispensable." Similar to the Prime, it comes with two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, but features 65W output instead. Again, its compact size is a helpful feature that makes traveling with it simple and easy.

Anker Nano Power Bank

Why we like it

If you want something more immediate than a charger you need to plug into a wall outlet, a power bank is another helpful item to have on hand. The 10,000mAh, 30W Anker Nano comes with a built-in USB-C cable alongside one USB-C and one USB-A port that can charge items like your phone, laptop, or tablet.

It also features bidirectional charging, which means the power bank can charge your devices while receiving power at the same time. According to the store page, it offers 30W fast charging both ways. On top of that, It even features a display that can help you keep track of how much your device has charged.

Anker Zolo Power Bank

Why we like it

This power bank features a built-in USB-C cable, one USB-C, and one USB-A port, and comes in at a slightly lower price than the Nano, if you're not looking to drop a ton of cash. The 10,000mAh, 30W Anker Zolo is a colorful and compact device that also offers bidirectional charging of up to 30W output and 20W input. It also features a digital display to help you keep an eye on your device's charging status.

Anker PowerCore 10K Power Bank

$19.99 at Amazon
$25.99 Save $6
 

Why we like it

This power bank offers an even slimmer design than the previously mentioned picks, but still boasts plenty of power. The Anker PowerCore 10K power bank features one USB-A and one USB-C port. It also supports two-way USB-C charging, so you can recharge just as easily as you charge up. It's also a tough little power bank that's been certified by a 3.2-foot drop test, according to the Anker store page.

Anker 737 Power Bank

$94.99 at Amazon
$109.99 Save $15
 

Why we like it

If you're looking for a big power boost, the Anker 737 power bank is here to help. This 24,000mAh, 140W charger can recharge an iPhone 16 Pro four times, or provide a single full charge and change for a 2024 13-inch iPad Pro, according to Anker, making it a powerful little device to have on-hand. It features two USB-C and one USB-A port so you can charge up multiple devices at once and even meets boarding standards, so you can take it on all of your travel adventures this year.

At the moment, you can even score a discount on the Anker 737 by clipping the $15 coupon on the store page.

Anker PowerCore 5,000mAh Portable Charger

Why we like it

We consider the Anker PowerCore 5,000mAh portable charger to be the best pocket-size portable charger in our roundup of the best portable chargers and power banks in 2025. So, if you're looking for something even smaller than the previously mentioned power banks, this is worth a look. It comes with one USB-A output port and a micro USB port to keep you charged up if you need a quick power boost in the day.

Anker MagGo Power Bank

$71.99 at Amazon
$89.99 Save $18
 

Why we like it

This is another power bank that ranks on our list of the best portable chargers and power banks in 2025. We consider the 10,000mAh, 15W Anker MagGo to be the best for MagSafe charging. It's Qi2 certified, providing your iPhone with a quick and efficient charge without the need for cables. It even features a smart display so you can keep an eye on your device's progress.
