Which should you buy? Here's the honest call, pulled from our full The Power Banks Worth Buying (and the 'Mega-mAh' One to Skip) comparison.

- Color display shows exact battery percentage and recharge time
- Refills itself to 50% in about 45 minutes and is genuinely pocket-sized
- 10,000mAh is roughly 1.5-2 phone charges, not a multi-day pack
- The secondary USB-A port tops out slower at 22.5W
UGREEN Nexode 145W 25000mAh 3-Port Power Bank
Buy itA do-everything travel brick that fast-charges a laptop and two phones and is regularly half price.
- 25,000mAh with 145W output can meaningfully charge a MacBook Air, not just phones
- Three ports (dual USB-C + USB-A) power a laptop and phones at once
- Stays under 100Wh, so it's airline carry-on friendly, with an LED capacity readout
- Heavy and bulky compared to a 10K pocket pack
- No built-in cable, and it's overkill if you only ever charge a phone
