Anker is one of my favorite power bank brands — and its PowerCore 10K is a bargain

The best power banks are perfect for keeping your devices going when you're away from a power socket, and thanks to this deal, you can bag one without breaking the bank. That's why I want to shout out that you can pick up the Anker PowerCore 10K at Amazon for $19.99 (was $25.99).

I've owned several power banks and found that the 10,000mAh capacity is the sweet spot for both portability and performance. Depending on your device, it could recharge your device several times — and even keep your laptop powered if you're in a jam.

Today's best cheap power bank deal

It was already ridiculously cheap. Now I'm not sure how to describe the price. This lightweight, sleek 10,000mAh power bank is portable enough to throw in a bag or pocket, yet sufficiently powerful to keep many different devices charged. Get it now for under $20.

Full disclosure, we haven't actually reviewed the PowerCore 10K, but based on our other Anker product reviews, we can confidently recommend the brand. They're also right at the top of our recommended list of the best power banks.

In terms of capacity, it holds the same amount of charge as the Anker PowerCore Redux 10,000, which was capable of charging a Google Pixel 7a at least three times. Anker claims the PowerCore 10K is capable of charging an iPhone 15 twice, a Galaxy S23 up to 1.93 times and an iPad mini 6 up to 1.23 times.

For connectivity, the PowerCore 10K features one micro USB port exclusively for charging the power bank itself, a USB-C port that supports both input and output, and one USB-A port with only output. That means you can charge two devices at once if you like.

If you'd prefer a power bank that we've reviewed, then we recommend the Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K Slim), Anker 737 Power Bank (PowerCore 24K), or Anker 20,000mAh 87W Power Bank. Each has its pros and cons, with our reviews giving a full overview of their performance.
