While the best phones in Australia might offer long-lasting battery life and decent charging speeds, you can’t always rely on access to a power point and charger when you need to top up.
A portable battery that stores a couple of full phone charges is, therefore, a pretty useful thing to have on the go. And now’s a great time to snatch one up for less, as some of our favourite budget options (per our list of the best power banks in Australia) are currently on sale – starting from just AU$25.49.
A power bank could be super handy to have for an Easter long weekend away, and if you order from Amazon with a Prime membership (available with a 30-day free trial), you can get the benefits of same day or next-day delivery – depending on stock and where you live.
Leading the discounts is the Iniu B6, a capable and cheap power bank with a 10,000mAh capacity and a total output wattage of 20W. The charger normally retails for AU$46.99, making it a fairly cost-effective pocket power cell, able to deliver between one and two full phone charges.
While the Iniu B6 isn’t a bad-looking device, we note in our list of the best power banks that it may scratch easily. With only a maximum 20W output, don’t expect your phone charges to be too fast either.
Not happy with only a 10,000mAh capacity? Our favourite budget 20,000mAh power bank is also currently available with quite a big discount.
While these are reliable power banks for phones, tablets and other handhelds, you might need something beefier if you’re looking to charge a laptop, as output wattage is likely too low for such a large, high-capacity device. Instead, consider our favourite 65W portable charger, the Iniu B62, as it’s better suited for more demanding devices. And conveniently, it’s also discounted at the moment.
If you’re after a premium portable battery with even greater capacity (24,000mAh) and a massive output (up to 140W), we recommend the Anker 737 (PowerCore 24K) – which is down to just AU$148 on Amazon (was AU$185) when you use the code 0UI2J45B at the checkout.
