Which is the right power bank for you?

Not one size fits all. So, if you're still unsure which power bank to get, consider the following scenarios or use cases to help you make a decision.

How did we choose these power banks?

These are all products that I've tested and have been using for several months. I always have a power bank or two with me when I'm traveling, and this means that they get prolonged testing.

Here are some of the criteria that I look for:

  • That the capacity is as stated
  • That the power bank outputs the power that is stated in the specification sheet
  • That the product is durable and withstands prolonged use

What size power bank do I need?

Tough question. If you want an emergency power bank to act as a backup, then a small 5000mAh power bank will do the job. If you want a lot of power, and perhaps the ability to charge up a laptop, then the bigger the better (well, going as big as you want to carry!).

What's the largest power bank I can take on an aircraft?

Power banks up to 100Wh (100,000mAh) can be carried without approval, and for power banks that fall between 100Wh and 160Wh you will need permission from the airline.

Are power banks waterproof?

While there are power banks that claim to be water resistant, I've never been comfortable with the idea of getting a pack filled with lithium batteries wet. I always keep them dry, and keep them in a waterproof bag if I'm out and about in bad weather.

What do you think of power banks that have a built-in solar panel?

I have yet to come across a good one. I'm also not comfortable baking rechargeable batteries in the sun for extended periods.

Are there alternative power banks worth considering?

Yes there are. Check out the alternatives below:
