These powerbanks will make sure you’ve got the charge you need in your phone while you’re on the move.
When you’re travelling, it’s vitally important for your phone to have enough charge in it. So many essential things are on your phone; your train ticket, your boarding pass, your event ticket . . . not to mention that it’s how you contact loved ones, request taxis and navigate your way to your destination.
In short, if your phone loses charge you’re highly likely to end up in a bit of a tricky situation one way or the other. But, phone batteries sometimes don’t last as long as you need them to, especially if you have to use it a lot or use essential apps that drain the battery quicker, or you have an older phone.
All this means that a portable power bank has become an essential gadget to carry around with you, particularly when you know your phone is going to be used a lot or you’re away from home for a long time.
Here’s our top picks of the best powerbanks and portable chargers you can buy right now.
Groov-e 5,000mAh Portable Magnetic Wireless Charger
This 5000mAh portable magnetic charger is a compact, snap-on power bank designed to wirelessly charge smartphones, especially iPhones with MagSafe-style compatibility, while you’re on the move.
It attaches magnetically to the back of your phone, allowing cable-free charging without needing to hold a separate battery pack. Most models in this category support wireless charging (typically up to 7.5–15W) plus USB-C fast charging for wired use.
With a 5,000mAh capacity, it’s best suited for topping up your phone and will fully re-charge your phone once or twice. It’s available in lilac or black.
The powerbank itself charges up in just a few hours via a USB-C to USB-C cable. The cable itself can also be used to charge your phone when connected to the powerbank, which you may find useful if you are rummaging around in your bag a lot and want to make sure that your phone doesn’t accidentally get disconnected from the charger.
We love this one because there’s a choice in colour - and our favourite is the pretty lilac colour. That makes it more of a fashion accessory than a tech must-have.
Daewoo 5000mAh Portable MagSafe Wireless Power Bank
The Daewoo 5000mAh MagSafe power bank is a compact, budget-friendly magnetic charger designed for easy, cable-free charging on the go.
It also features MagSafe-style magnetic attachment, allowing it to snap onto compatible smartphones, especially iPhones, for wireless charging without cables. It also includes a USB-C port for wired fast charging, giving you flexibility depending on your needs. Again, this cable can be used for connecting to your phone for charge if you think this is best, and also for charging the power bank itself.
With a 5,000mAh battery, it can be used for one or two full charges or multiple top-ups, making it ideal for daily use, commuting, or travel. We love this one because of the soft touch material, it looks and feels more expensive than it is and it also appears as though it will be scratch resistant - an important feature for a product that’s meant to be used heavily, thrown in bags and constantly moved around.
Also available is the Daewoo 10000mAh Portable MagSafe Wireless Power Bank, which is gives even more charges.
ButterFly dual charger
The Twelve South ButterFly SE is a compact, foldable 2-in-1 wireless charger designed for Apple users. The USP of this one is it lets you charge an iPhone and Apple Watch or AirPods at the same time.
Its standout feature is portability, it folds down to about the size of an AirPods case, making it ideal for travel or everyday carry.
When opened, it becomes a dual charging pad and a hands-free stand, so you can use your phone in StandBy mode or your watch in Nightstand mode while charging.
It also comes with USB-C power adapter with US, UK, EU and AU plug adaptors so that means it’s ready for all your travel destinations.
The only thing with this one is that it does have to be plugged into the mains for it to work, it can’t be taken out and about. But, because it can charge two devices in one that means it’s ideal for travel. We all know that plug sockets can be limited in hotels, and when it comes to foreign travel the dual capability will mean you don’t have to buy yet another travel adapter for another device.
If you’d like some new luggage for your travels, take a look at this popular 2-in-1 Ryanair cabin bag which is now back on sale on Amazon for less than £9 or the best-selling bag option which has 65% off right now, and the foldable cabin bag that gives lots of space but packs away tiny.
And, if you want some new tech to make the flight go quicker once you’ve boarded he plane, take a look at the wireless earbuds that Stacey Solomon uses and also the noise cancelling headphones Mrs Hinch uses. Both of these are now also in the sale on Amazon with up to 44% off.
