A reliable power bank should be at the top of every traveler’s packing list. You never know when you’ll find yourself in need of data in a new place, and you certainly don’t want to wind up with a near-dead phone in that situation. A portable charger — seriously, what an invention — can help you avoid a nightmare scenario or, at the very least, ensure you’re never without a camera when a travel moment calls for documentation.
Thousands of Amazon shoppers trust the slim Iniu Portable Charger to keep their electronics powered and prepared for whatever the travel day might entail. It’s “the thinnest” 10000mAh pocket charger out there, the “one and only” half-inch-thick power bank to provide so many milliamps per hour. (Nevermind the tech jargon: that’s about 1.5 full iPhone charges.)
And you don’t even have to wait for October Prime Day this October 10 and 11 to cop a major deal on this powerful little gadget. It’s currently 44 percent off (plus an additional 10 percent off thanks to a special coupon) at Amazon, down from $36 to just $18. According to several reviewers, the Iniu power bank is “worth the price and then some.”
The ultra-light charging block has two USB-A ports and one USB-C port that can be used for either input or output. The device is compatible with just about any gadget that can be charged by USB-A or USB-C, including smartphones, tablets, headphones, smartwatches, and eReaders — you know, the travel essentials. It’s even possible to charge three devices at once.
The charger is 5.2 inches by 2.7 inches and half an inch thick. Apple’s newest iPhone 15, for reference, is roughly the same size at 5.81 inches by 2.82 inches and 0.31 inches thick. The charger weighs 6.9 ounces, less than an ounce more than the iPhone 15. It comes with a cord to charge it with, and it features a paw print symbol (cute, if random) whose toes light up as the device charges. When all four toes are glowing, you’re good to go.
According to Iniu, a fully charged block can power a newer smartphone about 1.5 times, an iPad once, and an older iPhone more than three times. It also charges faster with 3A technology, which fuels a phone to 78 percent in just one hour.
Out of more than 76,000 people who have rated the Iniu portable charger on Amazon, more than 58,000 have given it five stars.
“This has saved me in power outages, but also in other circumstances,” one reviewer wrote. “I was stuck in the Istanbul Airport with a massive amount of people and not a plug to be found. I was able to charge my USB-powered sonic electric toothbrush with this when I forgot to charge the toothbrush at home.” Another reviewer called it a “lifesaver in your pocket” — good for charging at the airport and emergency power during a blackout, apparently.
Find out for yourself how Iniu’s “slimmest” 10000mAh power bank can save you on unpredictable travel days while it’s 44 percent off. Or shop some of the top alternatives at Amazon, ahead.
At the time of publishing, the price started at $18.
