When you are travelling, keeping your phone charged is essential. From train tickets and boarding passes to navigating and contacting loved ones, a dead battery can quickly ruin your plans. Portable power banks have become a must-have gadget for any traveller. Here are our top picks for the best power banks and portable chargers available now.
Groov-e 5,000mAh Portable Magnetic Wireless Charger
This compact 5,000mAh magnetic charger snaps onto the back of your phone for cable-free wireless charging. It supports up to 7.5–15W wireless charging and also has a USB-C port for wired fast charging. With a 5,000mAh capacity, it can fully recharge your phone once or twice. Available in lilac or black, it charges itself via USB-C in a few hours. The included cable can also be used to charge your phone directly. We love the stylish lilac colour option, making it a fashion accessory as well as a tech essential.
Daewoo 5000mAh Portable MagSafe Wireless Power Bank
This budget-friendly magnetic charger from Daewoo offers a soft-touch material that feels premium and resists scratches. It features MagSafe-style magnetic attachment for wireless charging and a USB-C port for wired fast charging. The 5,000mAh battery provides one to two full charges, ideal for daily use or travel. For more power, the Daewoo 10000mAh version is also available.
ButterFly Dual Charger (Twelve South ButterFly SE)
The Twelve South ButterFly SE is a compact, foldable 2-in-1 wireless charger that can charge an iPhone and Apple Watch or AirPods simultaneously. It folds down to the size of an AirPods case, making it extremely portable. When opened, it becomes a dual charging pad and a hands-free stand. It includes a USB-C power adapter with US, UK, EU, and AU plug adaptors, perfect for international travel. Note that it must be plugged into a mains outlet to work, but its dual-device capability saves you from needing extra travel adapters in hotels.
