It’s a small brick that plugs into an outlet and carries four charging ports, including a 60W USB-C PD port that can easily charge all iPhones and iPads at max speeds (and charge various laptops to boot).

We have a couple of preferred options: if you need a charger for your desk, try Nekteck’s 4-port 72W USB-C PD Charger. Plus, at $70, it’s more affordable than most of its peers, and it includes a USB-C to USB-C fast charging cable in the box. Again, the PowerPack 20000 stands out in the design department: its metallic finish feels premium, and at 14 ounces and 160×82×21mm, it’s more compact than most power banks with this level of power. It’s not USB-IF certified, but we’ve used it safely for about a year now, and there are no widespread reports of failure across the Web. The 20,000mAh (or 72Wh) capacity is enough to give roughly one and a half charges to an 11-inch iPad Pro. (Those laptops just have to charge at 15V/3A, as the PowerPack maxes out at 40W of power at a 20V charge.) There are two USB-A ports that output around 12W of power alongside that, though the whole pack can only output a maximum of 45W at any given time. It includes a 45W USB-C PD port that’s powerful enough to charge the latest iPad Pros-and various 12- and 13-inch laptops-at their fastest possible rate. If you need a battery pack for charging a newer iPad, meanwhile, get the ZMI PowerPack 20000.

Just remember that you need an MFi-certified USB-C to Lightning cable like the PowerLine+ II above to actually take advantage of its fast charging speeds with an iPhone. Having this kind of fast-charging power in a design that’s this small and well-built makes the PowerCore 10000 PD Redux ideal for travel. That means it can easily fit in a pants pocket or handbag. And most notably, it’s supremely portable, weighing less than seven ounces and measuring just 106×52.3×25.5mm. There’s a USB-C to USB-C charging cable in the box. Still, its 10,000mAh (or 36Wh) capacity is enough to get an iPhone 11 roughly two charges.
