Some days, you just use your phone more than regularly, and you end up watching with dread as the battery level keeps dropping. You’re still hours away from reaching home and being able to charge it. Anker’s magnetic power bank can solve that problem rather easily, as the 5,000mAh capacity is enough to charge your device fully at least once. If you want a bit more speed, you can use a USB-C cable. Make sure to check out some other power banks we reviewed.
