Product Information

Dimensions: 9.91 x 6.4 x 1.65 cm | Weight: 173g | Capacity: 5,000mAh | Ports: USB-C (input and output) and wireless charging If you spend a lot of time outdoors, this is among your best choices for keeping your devices running while off of the grid. In other words, it’s camping approved. We'd recommend avoiding anything below 5,000mAh, though, as they'll barely recharge today's smartphones. Look for between 5,000 and 10,000mAh.

We wish there wasn't such an easy answer to this question, because competition is better for everybody, but Anker is making the best power banks right now by far. It offers the best power-to-weight ratio, the fastest charging, and the most useful features. If you want maximum power output, opt for chargers with USB-C PD (power delivery) models, which should charge nearly every device smaller than a laptop, such as a tablet or Nintendo Switch. Some batteries include built-in output cables and these generally have micro USB, USB-C, or Lightning connectors.The bigger the screen, the more power a phone uses - hence why the Pro Max models have the biggest batteries. You need fast power: This is a very slow charger, whether wired or wireless, so it's better for casual charging while you sip your water and read a book. When you're after a power bank for a camping trip or weekend getaway, or to power your Switch or laptop, you'll want something with a higher capacity.

Brand Reliability: When it comes to portable power banks, it's essential to choose a trustworthy brand. Brands like Anker have a solid reputation for producing safe and high-quality products, ensuring your devices are charged efficiently and without any risks. Certain technologies can help to improve standards here, which will appeal if fast charging is important. Power delivery, or 'PD', is one of several fast charge technologies, designed to speed up the time it takes for your power bank to charge your devices. It does this by increasing the wattage used to charge to the maximum amount your device can safely handle. This only works with compatible USB-C cables, which have specialised chips that prevent overheating. Pass-through: If you want to charge your power bank and use it to charge another device simultaneously, it will need pass-through support. The Nimble, GoalZero, Biolite, Mophie, Zendure, and Shargeek portable chargers listed support pass-through charging. Anker discontinued support for pass-through because it found that differences between the output of the wall charger and the input of the device charging can cause the power bank to cycle on and off rapidly and shorten its lifespan. The Monoprice do not support pass-through charging either. We would advise caution when using pass-through, as it can also cause portable chargers to heat up. You may be asked for detailed information on the power bank. This is usually printed on the device, but can rub off with frequent use. If it’s close to the limit and you can’t prove it’s under 100Wh, be prepared for it to be confiscated. First, let’s talk about the power bank charging speed. The 30W Dart power bank takes 90-100 minutes to charge from 0 to full, which is quite impressive and unseen till date on a power bank. To achieve this changing speed, you will have to use the provided cable or any Type-C cable that is capable of charging at 30W speed.

The best power banks of 2023

Large models give you more juice, but are less portable. There aren’t really any alternatives that can match its charging speed. The max we get from every other power bank is 18W speed and these include power banks from Xiaomi, Realme power bank 2, and power banks from brands like Boat, Ambrane, Urbn, and more — all of which are priced under Rs 1,000. If wireless charging is a priority, you have a few options from Samsung and Xiaomi.

At the price of Rs 1,999, the Realme Dart Charge power bank will not win any prizes for its capacity. However, its charging speeds are currently unparalleled, even without considering the price. If you use a supported device, it’s a no-brainer. Some power banks come with a built-in output cable, which can’t be removed. This is usually an extra output, so it shouldn’t affect you if you plan to use other types of cable too.
