Easily accessible power outlets aren't always available, especially when you're on the go. If you often find yourself out and about and needing to top off the charge on your phone or earbuds, you should consider investing in a power bank. These handy devices make a fine investment, and you don't have to drop a lot of cash to get one. Right now Amazon has slashed the price of the Anker Zolo power bank to just $18. That's a 31% savings and a match for the lowest we've seen.
This 10,000-mAh 30-watt portable charger with built-in USB-C cable is just the friend you need to keep you company. Since the cord is already there, you won't have to worry about forgetting it as you pack your backpack to get outdoors. Being USB-C enabled, it's great for juicing up smartphones, tablets, earbuds and other devices that might need a quick boost. You can even charge three gadgets at the same time thanks to the cord and built-in USB-A and USB-C ports.

Even if you aren't traveling off-grid, a portable power bank can really be helpful for day-to-day life. Sadly, not all places have accessible wall outlets for charging devices. You don't want to go to a coffee shop and find yourself limited on time because you don't have an alternative power source. A power bank can also come in handy if you live in an area with frequent power outages or if you just want to be prepared for an emergency.
