Our pick
This charger has two powerful, fast-charging USB-C PD ports, two USB-A ports, and enough capacity to charge most laptops at least once or smaller devices several times over.
The Anker 747 PowerCore 26K has two USB-C Power Delivery (PD) ports that deliver up to 87 W apiece, or 63 W combined, and two USB-A ports that can charge at up to 15 W (the total maximum output of all four ports is 78 W). With a rated capacity of 25,600 mAh, or roughly 92 Wh, it can fully charge most laptops at least once or charge smaller devices several times over.
It’s ruggedly built yet sleek-looking, small, and lightweight, weighing just 1.3 pounds. It couldn’t be simpler to use, either: A single button turns it on and off, and a ring of small lights signals when it’s charging and roughly how much battery life remains.
Anker backs this power bank with an 18-month warranty and includes a high-quality 65 W charger and USB-C cable in the box.
Its biggest downside is that it doesn’t allow pass-through charging—so you can’t charge other devices while the power bank itself is charging—but if you can live with that unfortunate omission, it’s a great choice.
Also great
With a USB-C PD port, a DC port, two USB-A ports, and a wireless charging pad, this power bank has the most charging options of our picks. It also has enough capacity to charge most laptops at least once.
If you want a portable laptop charger with a round DC port or a wireless charging pad, opt for the Omnicharge Omni Mobile 25600.
Its rated capacity of 25,600 mAh is equal to that of our top pick, giving it enough juice to bring most laptop batteries from empty to full at least once.
And although its output capabilities fall a bit short of what you get from our top pick, this charger’s 60 W USB-C PD port, two 18 W USB-A ports, 72 W DC port, and 10 W wireless charging pad, allow you to charge the widest variety of devices when you’re on the go.
A hair lighter than our top pick, this charger weighs just 1.2 pounds, has a professional look, is easy to use, and is equipped with pass-through charging capabilities. It comes with two charging cables (one C-to-C cable and one A-to-C cable), but unlike with our top pick you’ll have to supply your own wall charger.
Its one-year warranty is shorter than that of our top pick but should still give you plenty of time to make sure you don’t have a dud.
Budget pick
This power bank has one USB-C PD port, two USB-A ports, and a sleek fabric exterior. It has less capacity and power than our other picks, but it’s also the most compact and cheapest model we recommend.
If money is tight, but you still want to charge a laptop on the go, get the Einova Eggtronic 63W Power Bank.
It has a single USB-C PD port capable of charging a laptop at up to 45 W—that’s ample power to fast-charge a tablet or ultrabook, though it’ll charge larger laptops more slowly. One of its two USB-A ports can pass up to 15 W of power to a phone or other handheld device, while the other got up to just 12 W in our testing.
Its capacity rating is somewhat lackluster at 20,000 mAh, but that’s still enough to fully charge most laptops at least once, and it’s one of the slimmest and lightest models we tested, weighing just a pound. We also liked its fabric exterior, which gives it a stylish look and added protection from scuffs and scratches.
Although it doesn’t include a wall charger, the Einova power bank comes with a USB-C cable and a handy adapter to turn a USB-C port into a USB-A port. It has a small screen showing the remaining battery life, and it’s backed by a one-year warranty.
