My phone always dies on long days, but I’m not a fan of carrying heavy power banks or tangled cables in my bag. The Anker Nano portable charger it’s the only option I’ve found that I’ll actually use, and I’m happy (with a bit of jealousy) to report that it’s currently on sale for just $12. The charger is normally $26, but with 31 percent off and a $6 coupon for white and black models at a record low price.

I personally vouch for Anker’s Nano portable charger, thanks to its lightweight, small build and, as I mentioned above, the built-in lightning plug. You can juice it up via the USB-C port, which typically takes one and a half charges for an iPhone 12 Pro (Anker also model for androidwhich is our favorite portable option for partial charging). Plus, there are four clear dots on the front of the device to show how much charge is left.
There are a few downsides to Anker’s Nano portable charger, but none are too prohibitive. You have to be careful when using it as lightning inside the bag charger can sometimes deviate from the upright position required to work. It’s also not good if you want to top up more than one battery at a time or use it for days at a time, as I seem to die without getting two charges out of it. Overall, the comfort of it is amazing when I know I’ll be out all day or so travel.
