If WIRED buying guides are like the Oscars, Anker is like the Meryl Streep of charging, sweeping the top awards of nearly every charging-related guide—Best Portable Chargers and Power Banks, Best Android Chargers, Best Wireless Chargers, Best 3-in-1 Chargers, Best MagSafe Chargers—even Best USB Car Chargers.
As the owner of several Anker chargers, I understand firsthand why they're so popular: Reliable and exceedingly well-designed, they fit seamlessly into your life and routine. Now also happens to be a great time to stock up on chargers, both due to impending storms forecasted for many regions and just more time spent indoors, which usually—if we're being honest—means more battery-draining doomscrolling.
Anker's sitewide Halloween sale runs through November 1. To access 20 percent off the brand's excellent charging gear, just enter the code HALLOWEEN20. Our WIRED-tested recommendations are below.
We love the foldable prongs of this pocket-sized wall charger, which is our top pick for Android smartphones that use the Power Delivery (PD) charging standard, a fast-charging protocol for USB-C. This updated version of the exact model we tested features a built-in display to tell you the charging status at a glance.
This power bank packs a 25,000-mAh capacity, which can deliver up to 165 watts to two devices. 3-foot USB cable and the second braided 1-foot cable that doubles as a carry loop. It has a digital display, as well as pass-through charging. Because it's below the power-capacity limit for flights, it's a great option to bring with you for air travel.
