Best Buy Has the Anker 20,000mAh Power Bank for Nearly 50% Off, but You Won't Find the Deal on Amazon
Listen here, folks. This 20,000mAh Anker power bank is down over 40% for a limited time. That brings the price to just $28 (down from $50). It's equipped with a two-way USB-C port along with a USB-A port. This means you can charge up two devices at once. Plug in your laptop while your phone is recharging as well. And it's is compact so it can store easily in a backpack or messenger bag. The main USB-C cable can actually click back into the power bank so you'll never find yourself without a cable. See at Best Buy 20,000mAh is the total energy this power bank holds. To put that in more grounded terms, It can charge an iPhone 15 four times from zero percent to a hundred before running out. Similarly, it's got just shy of four charges of a Galaxy S24 in it. It's fast too. You can charge an iPhone 16 Pro Max to 50% with the Anker portable charger in just 30 minutes. The portable charger features an interactive digital display so you can see just how much juice it has left while charging your phone, laptop, or earbuds. This can help prevent lots of disappointment. There's been plenty of times I've left home with my power bank, thinking it was fully charged only to plug my phone into it later and see it was dead. Now you'll know how charged it is just at a glance. The Main Use Case for a Power Bank Don't be like me. Recently I went on a trip to Spain. I was coming from New York and the flight was about seven hours or so, plus an hour connecting flight to our final destination. I used to have a good power bank, but I lent it to a friend and never got it back. I considered picking up a new one before the trip, but figured, 'Ahh, I probably don't need it. All planes these day have outlets and charging ports at your seat.' Well, when I got there, the only port was a USB A. I went to pull out a charging cable and low and behold, it was USB C-to-C. All of my devices I had with me were USB C or my iPhone which again, the only cable I had was USB C-to-Lightning. Stranded in my aisle seat with a Nintendo Switch I forgot to charge and a laptop loaded with movies and shows with only about a half hour of use left. This flight sucked. Don't do what I did. Grab this travel-friendly Anker power bank on sale for $28 and save $22. That's a discount of almost 50%. See at Best Buy
