(POLL) Small Form Factor EDC Power Bank for Work

What's the best power bank if you need to charge multiple usb-c electronic devices for work, on the go, in front of clients even… however you often don't have a bag/toolbox on you?

I guess what I'm looking for is good capacity and output but at a form factor that can be carried in pockets. Cheap would be nice too but can't have everything.

I currently use the cheap option which is this: https://amzn.asia/d/iFlSasr

    Maybe consider fast charging solutions for car/office instead?

  • I use a PPS charger in the car. I get a decent amount of charge even with shorter trips.

    I have a old 5000mah Xiaomi with a thin form factor for emergencies but don't think I've used it for a few years.

    number 1 rule … don't let device(/s) get flat in first place !!!

    then no need for such things like you linked to.
    even with heavy use … almost all devices should be able to last for 8 hours.

    so, charge when back at office … heck - i know of some people who charge their personal (@home) devices at work, because they want free electricity.

    [EDIT] : also carry a wall-plug/cable with you at all times.
    it's crazy, how so so many cafe's these days have a 240V socket near tables (ESP Melbourne) … so almost never without an option.

    Even at a Melbourne hospital afew weeks ago … saw a (dodgy) setup of extension leads to be able to charge an EV car … all FREE electricity of course.

  • Get a good small nano charger (Anker 30w/33w, or ganprime 65w)
    if you can find the older 45w QMI 15000mah bricks they are great, but seem to not exist any more.

    This package is great. 10kmah, 30w in/out, and a 30w nano charger. twin usb-c as well
