Power banks can sometimes feel like they're a dime a dozen, but going cheap on them can be a really bad play – not least because you really want a portable battery in your pocket to have proper safety ratings (and be approved for use on planes, for example). That's why I tend to recommend people spend a little more and go for the known quantity that is Anker.
It's had its own product recalls down the years, but that sort of replacement offer underlines the fact that it's a real business, rather than an unknown Amazon brand that'll disappear with your money. Now, two of its highest-capacity and most powerful power banks are on sale as part of the wider, impossible-to-miss Black Friday sales.
These power banks are both quite chunky, and that's worth knowing before you commit to buying one – they're not intended to slip into your pocket for everyday use. Rather, they're amazing for travel or work events, where you might need to charge not just your phone but also a laptop or Switch 2, possibly all at once.
Having the power to get your devices topped up in that sort of situation can be a bit like a cheat code. I've definitely been in scenarios where my swanky power bank makes me feel like I'm living in the future compared to people near me using janky old 5,000mAh equivalents with trickling charging speed.
So, if you fancy feeling smug in exactly that way, grab one of these deals while they're live. That probably means before the end of November, since that's when Black Friday weekend concludes.
