Decent power pack

[flibberdipper]

So in some ways, I'm considering getting one of these since I find myself having to top off here and there on a heavy use day for my phones. No real requirements, but I would like for it to be  $50 or less and be able to bring both a Galaxy SIII and Galaxy Avant up from say 15% to 50% without needed filled up itself. I will use it when traveling, and I will probably keep it in my pocket, so it can't be a brick the size of Montana.

Anker or the Patriot fuel+ are both good options for your needs that come in different sizes, you'll probably want something that is >6000mAh:

That thing looks kinda fat... But it's not out of the question.

To add to this, the AmazonBasics 10000mAh pack appears to be about the size of a Galaxy S5 (thicker though). http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Portable-Power-Bank-000/dp/B00LRK8JDC/

Anker, they make solid batteries.

Kmashi. Super cheap knock of brand looking ones, but have been though hell and abused way more then any device, let alone a battery should be, for well over a year and still works to what appears to be 100% capacity. And they are all sub 25$. Highly recommend. There's no reason to pay more unless you need pass though charging.

I personally have an Anker 20,800mAh battery. I usualy have to charge it to full every week or every other week. The battery lasts for a super long time, and charges my phone fairly quickly.

 

It's available for $60 via Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M2ZNGHU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&m=A294P4X9EWVXLJ&tag=ianker-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=B00M2ZNGHU

 

Here's a quick size comparison:

LOVE Anker, especially when coming from a cheap power bank. Seriously, do not cheap out and buy a no name brand. I made that mistake and never will again.
