It’s always wise to have an external power source with you as you travel. You never know when you’ll find yourself out and about and in need of a charge, with nary an outlet in sight. That’s why the Moshi IonBank 5K is such a useful product.

 

The IonBank 5K is a mobile charger able to charge your phone multiple times thanks to a lithium-polymer cell that doesn’t suffer from “memory effect.” The battery is rated at 5000mAh so you should be able to get at least three charges out of it at a time before it needs recharging itself, making it perfect for daytrips or weekend adventures.

 

The charger comes with an integrated lightning cable to connect to your iPhone and a USB cable that plugs into the wall when it’s time to give it some more juice. It also contains a second USB port so you can charge an extra device at the same time.

 

 

The IonBank uses Moshi’s DPS (dynamic power sharing) technology able to detect the ideal charge rate for each device; you don’t have to worry about it delivering too much power and overheating your phone. It also plugs into your car charger when you’re on the go!

 

The charger is available on Amazon and currently retails for $88.95.
