Top 10 Best Accessory Power External Battery Chargers
for October 2023

The INIU Portable Charger is one of the best portable chargers we've ever tested. It has enough power to fully charge an iPhone 7 (the fastest we've ever tested) 6 times over, and enough power to charge most other phones at least 3 times over. The charger has fast charging capabilities, and the charger and USB-C cable it comes with are both USB-IF certified, so they'll charge your Apple devices at top speed as well. It also has more capacity than the power banks in our former top pick, and it's smaller and lighter, making it a good choice for travelers. The charger also comes with a flashlight, which is a nice little feature, and it's both USB C and USB A compatible, so it's compatible with a wide variety of devices. INIU's excellent customer support is also a big plus. The charger is more expensive than the Anker 10,000mAh PowerCore, but it's significantly smaller and lighter, and it's a little bit faster, too. The Anker PowerCore is also a little bit faster, but it's significantly bigger and heavier, and doesn't have as much capacity. The INIU Portable Charger is our current pick for the best portable charger.

The Qi portable charger has plenty to recommend it: It's fast, compact, and, unlike many other solar chargers, it also has a USB port so you can use it with a laptop or tablet when it's sunny out.

The charger also has an LED light on top that shows you how much power it has. The solar panel is sealed, so you won't have to worry about water getting in when you accidentally spill it. It's also fairly lightweight, at 6 ounces, and has a nice rubberized coating, so it's comfortable to hold. The charger supports both Apple and Android phones, so you can use it with any phone you have. The charger is handy for traveling, hiking, or camping, but it's also a great backup power pack for your phone.
