Your phone is one of your most important tools when you’re traveling on your own. Keeping it charged up is crucial, and a portable charging tool will ensure it’s topped up. Here are five to consider and what to look for.
When Your Pocket is Your Luggage
Size of battery is your first consideration. Bigger is definitely better in situations where you may go a while between outlets, although if you’ll only be hopping hotels, a smaller one may suit you better.
Little Devices Pack a Punch
Weight and size will be another factor. Keep in mind you’ll be carrying this in your pocket, in your bag, and just about everywhere else, so get a battery that won’t drag you down.
When Work Takes Priority
Get a battery bank that can handle all your devices. If you’ll be needing your laptop, regardless of what comes, be sure there’s an AC plug, and ports for all your devices.
For the Organized Travelers
If you’ll be waiting and aren’t sure you’ll get an outlet, a bank that charges at a normal speed is fine. Look at a fast-charging battery, though, if you know you’ll be needing your phone unencumbered.
Never Worry about Tangled Cords
If you’re looking to save space and aggravation, look for a charger with a built-in cable. It’s especially handy if it comes with spare USB ports, so you can share a battery between devices with different structures.
