POWERADD EnergyCell II ➡ https://amzn.to/3gyeqGL
RAVPOWER 26800 PD ➡ https://amzn.to/32opDkT

OUR TOP RECOMMENDATION is the POWERADD EnergyCell II (https://amzn.to/3gyeqGL). It offers great value at just $40-50 for a huge 26800mAh capacity. It had a respectable actual tested capacity at 84.6% of advertised capacity. It has a USB-C port with power delivery (30watts!), along with two standard USB-A ports. It also has a microusb port if you don't have a USB-C charger and you don't mind waiting all day for it to slowly recharge through microusb. It comes with a generous 24 month warranty. You'll need to pick up a separate USB-C power delivery charger if you don't already have one. Get the POWERADD EnergyCell II power bank here ➡ https://amzn.to/3gyeqGL
