Can a power bank charge a phone?

What is the best power bank?

I’ve found the best power banks usually come from Anker, but newer brands like Cuktech and Iniu are also starting to make a name for themselves. Anker’s A1383 20,000mAh power bank is my top pick for its hefty battery capacity, fast-charging and built-in cable, but the Iniu P41-E2 10,000mAh power bank is a nice budget portable charger.

How long does it take to charge a power bank?

That’s technically impressive, yes, but realistically, most people aren’t going to carry two high-wattage chargers just to charge up a power bank. If you just use a single fast charger, you’ll still get a full recharge in around 90 minutes. However, my fellow tech nerds will love it.

How do I find the best power bank for my Device?

How big is a cuktech power bank?

It’s a little blocky and just under 600g, so never one for a jeans pocket, but it’s durable and comes with its own pouch. I think for its size, it feels more like a 25,000mAh power bank, but it’s actually only 20,000mAh. I wouldn’t mind if Cuktech managed to fit a 25K battery into this in the future, but it does the job.

Can you take a power bank on a plane?

You can take a power bank in your hand luggage, but it has to be under 100Wh (watt hours). Most 10,000mAh and 20,000mAh power banks are well within the limit and perfectly fine to travel with. Just remember that you’re not allowed to pack them in your checked luggage. Every power bank I’ve chosen for this review is safe to fly with.
