Best Portable Battery Packs for Travelers

These days we use our smartphones for taking photos, navigating and much more. As a result people regularly need to recharge over the course of the day, which isn’t always possible on the road. Invest in one of these battery packs and give your phone an extra boost.

The Anker PowerCore 10000 is one of the smallest 10,000 mAh battery packs on the market. That is equivalent to 3.5 iPhone 6 charges, and all in a tiny package. If you don’t need that much charge, try the even smaller PowerCore 5000, about as long as your index finger.

While these batteries need to be charged from the mains, the Solar Charging Hiluckey 25,000 takes its power from the sun. Unfold the panels and leave it to charge wherever you are, so it’s always ready to give your phone an injection of power.

RAVPower is another popular battery company, rivalling Anker at the top of the market. The company’s external battery pack has two USB ports so you can charge two devices at once, and a 16,750 mAh capacity means you will get multiple charges out of it.

Depending on your needs you can get single charge, highly portable devices that will easily fit in your pocket, or hefty 10-charge packs best suited to long camping trips. Take a look around to see which one best fits your needs.
