Amazon's Prime Day is finally here, and the two-day sales event is a great time to save on everything tech related and beyond. A popular category that I always keep an eye on during Prime Day are chargers and power banks. These accessories seem to be a shoo-in for deep sales every year, and that holds true again for 2023.
I can never seem to have enough power banks around the house for when I'm traveling, cycling, camping, hiking, or visiting a coffee shop to work on an article, and I don't think I've ever paid full price. Good power banks and chargers don't usually don't come cheap, but Prime Day is a perfect time to find new low prices on the best portable chargers and power banks out there right now.
A quick search at Amazon for "power banks" brings up thousands of results, and searching for "charger" expands that number nearly tenfold. Scanning the results, it quickly becomes clear that not every option is going to be a winner. There are countless off-brand chargers that make a lot of promises, and indeed there are some gems among the masses. But there are also a lot of options that do only the bare minimum but attract buyers with low pricing.
We're keeping a close eye on the best Prime Day deals on power banks and chargers and collecting them here in a curated list to ensure that you're only getting the best products at the best prices.

FAQ
Q: What charging capacity do you need?
Most power banks that you come across will have a capacity rated in milliampere hours (mAh). A 10,000mAh capacity is very common, and it will be enough to charge many phones two times. The charging capacity also generally reflects the size of the power bank itself. You'll be able to carry anything less than 20,000mAh comfortably, but beyond that, things can start to get bulky. On that note, if you're buying a charger for a laptop, you'll want to start at 20,000mAh and go up from there. Just be sure you don't go beyond about 26,500mAh, which comes out close to the maximum 100Wh capacity allowed on commercial flights.
Q: Do you need fast charging?
Most modern phones come with some sort of fast charging capabilities, and you should always try to find a power bank or charger that can accommodate. For example, iPhones support Power Delivery at about 20W, while some Android phones go with proprietary tech that pushes the speed beyond 20W. Check what standard your device uses and find a charger that can keep up. You'll be much happier in the long run even if you spend a few more dollars.
Q: What power output should I look out for?
A lot of modern laptops require somewhere between 45W and 65W of charging power, but that number can creep up if you're dealing with a system that includes a discrete GPU. Whether you're buying a power bank or charger for a phone or a laptop, you should always try to match or exceed the ability of the charger that came with your device. Buying a 45W charger for a laptop that requires 60W to run won't work very well. If you're buying a replacement or secondary wall charger, Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology is a bonus. The chargers are generally more compact and more efficient, but they do usually cost more.
Q: Do I need specific ports?
All power banks and chargers come with some sort of ports to connect to your devices, and you want to be sure that you're getting the right ones for your products. I have some power banks that require dongles, and I'd be lying if I said I hadn't misplaced them when needed most. The most common ports are USB-A and USB-C, which cover most modern tech devices. For maximum convenience, grab a power bank that can charge the same way it delivers power to reduce the amount of cables you carry around. And if you're shopping for a new wall charger, something without fixed cables is always a better buy. You can replace the cable easily if it receives damage
