Looking for power banks

[Gershy13]

After just seeing Linus' power bank video... i decided i need to get myself some, as im going away in august...

So far ive seen that RavPower, Anker, Aukey have the best reliability... 

Im looking for a small but powerful and portable one, and a bigger charge station sort of thing

The small one should be about 6,000 (minimum) and should be easy enough to fit in a pocket.. (would like it to be about the size of a smartphone or even smaller) It should also have quick charge.. (2 ports, only one needs to be quick charge...)

I would like the bigger one to be about 20,000 or something, and size isnt really a concern... (best size to power ratio) It should also have quickcharge, also would like it to have 2 ports...

Also, i wouldnt want it to be more than around £20 each...

 

Any suggestions?

 

 

Thanks

Anker makes pretty good ones, something like this would work well for your situation while still have the capability for Qualcomm quick charge:

I did a review on this one, its really really good!!!! highly recommended

 

For my portable one, I use a tecknet s1 mini wihch is a 3200mah + 150 lumen flashlight (though might not be what you want but its tiny and was like £8.99)

The rav power one looks good as a big one... but is too expensive for me...

And the smaller one is a bit too small...

 

However I think I will be satisfied  with 2 ports on the big one, and 2 on the small...

Should be decent.

similar spec for £24

cheap small one 5000 mah

the small ones rarely have 2 ports since they need to be a small size and they dont have enough power to charge 2 devices at once 

 

These are good too

those look nice, but are they reputable? 

also when i mean small and portable, i dont neccesiarly mean that small... about the size of a phone is ok... and 2 ports...

 

also none of these have quick charge...

 

basically i want one big one (gonna be in a bag most likely) with around 15000+ and 2-3 ports and quick charge (on 1 port is fine) 

and a smaller one (but not ultra tiny like lipstick) with around 8,000 and 2 ports (quick charge would be nice on one port)

I plan to get this for the Summer, but I am not sure.

Anker does have a large one with two ports but some of the others suggested may be a bit more desirable and not so large, however I don't believe I've seen a portable bank with dual Qualcomm quick charge ports yet only one and a regular high amperage port:

I don't mind if it has 1 quick charge port and another 2 amp port... that's fine for me... if it has that and is portable, I'll be happy... 

 

Thanks

Edit: just saw the link you posted.... that looks like what I need, just smaller ( maybe 10,000) and more portable...

So far ive found these ones...

 

https://www.anker.com/products/A1264011 (really exactly what i need if it had one more 2ish amp port)

https://www.anker.com/products/A1272011 (if it was smaller, this would be perfect!)

http://www.aukey.com/product/pb-t3-updated-power-bank (looks really good, but again, still to big to be pocketable)

http://www.aukey.com/product/pb_t4_power_banks-power_banks (again looks really good, except for the fact that the 2nd USB port is 1 amp... but still too big to fit in my pocket) 

 

If anyone can find one that suits me, please let me know!
