I’ve got a couple of weeks before my next trip out of town and I already have the?best portable charger?packed. The?Anker Nano Power Bank, which features a built-in USB-C cable, is a must for me when I’m on the go — and it’s currently back at its all-time low price of $31 right now for Amazon’s October Prime Day in Sprout Green and Shell White.
Whether I’m getting ready for an upcoming trip or just going out for an evening, I always pack Anker’s Nano Power Bank with USB-C. Several colors are now marked down to $31.
Why is this portable charger my personal favorite? After testing gadgets and electronics for nearly a decade, this power bank made me practically say “duh, finally!” when I started using it. Not only does its built-in?USB-C?cable make it perfect for my phone (as well as all modern Android phones and the entire?iPhone 15?lineup) but the cable loops in so neatly that it’s easy to drape the cord around your fingers while still holding your phone.
It’s not just conveniently designed either. This Nano Power Bank sports a 10,000mAh battery capacity so it can refuel my?iPhone 15 Pro Max?more than twice, as the reputable?GSMArena?lists that phone as packing a 4,441mAh battery. (Apple doesn’t publicize that detail.) Plus, I could also charge someone else’s gear if I need to, as the Nano Power Bank also features a rectangular USB-A port. Lastly, you’ll always know how much of a charge it packs, as a small display shows its current status as a percentage amount when you click its little button.
I might not be the only person staying at my Airbnb with one of these powerhouses either. I’ve already recommended this charging brick to a friend who is on the verge of upgrading to an iPhone 15.
Why this is such a good deal on the Anker Nano Power Bank
This is easily one of my favorite?deals on electronics?as of late — and it’s a great find at?Amazon?ahead of holiday travel. Plus, it makes a perfect stocking stuffer. We last saw this new all-time low price before summer, and even though it’s just $1 less than the previous, it’s still a great discount on a product I personally love and use often.
Why you should trust CNN Underscored
Trying out different tech is what I do for a living, so when one becomes integral to my own daily life, you know it’s good. I’ve extensively tested this power bank — as have a few other members of the Underscored staff — and we all agree its a great buy that holds up. You won’t have any regrets about adding it to your arsenal of gadgets, too.
