I have taken Anker Prime Power Bank (26K, 300W) With me everywhere, from the state fair, camping and on many flights. One thing is for sure: it has become one of my favorite portable batteries because it is so reliable, lightweight, and powerful.
Camping is one of my favorite weekend activities, and I love bringing a portable power bank with me, especially when tent camping. Disconnecting is refreshing and necessary, but I can’t afford to have a crappy phone with three kids and so many responsibilities.

Portable batteries ensure I can always keep my phone on and charge other devices as needed, like a small fan during summer trips or a pump to inflate a mattress.
But smaller power banks are best, especially ones that easily fit into my hiking backpack without weighing them down. That’s why I love power banks like the Anker Prime, which checks all these boxes, letting me carry a portable charger for my phone, flashlight, and camera.
This Anker Prime powerbank may look small, but it’s powerful enough to charge your laptop with a total output of up to 300W. It has three ports on the top, so you can charge two laptops using the USB-C port, which supports up to 140W each, and an iPhone simultaneously using the 20W USB-A port.
The rechargeable battery inside is 26,250mAh, which is enough to fully charge five iPhone 17 Pro Max or three 16-inch MacBook Pros with M4 Pro chips on a single charge.
This Anker Prime power bank also supports fast charging for your devices via USB-C port, so you can recharge them instantly with this feature.
At just 1.3 pounds, the Anker Prime Power Bank is as light as three iPhones put together, so it won’t add much weight to a backpack or purse. This is very convenient if you carry a laptop bag to work or on the plane – just remember to always keep these power banks in your carry-on, not in your checked luggage.

However, the battery also has an attractive display that indicates its current status, whether it’s recharging, connected to an app, or simply showing the remaining battery life. It also has a side button that lets you easily wake it up as needed.
