Anker Zolo power bank with built-in USB-C cable drops to $36

I have so many power banks at home, but among all of them, there is only one that I always take with me when I travel: the Anker Zolo. It’s my favorite power bank and it can be yours too, at a great price. Right now, Best Buy is selling it for just $36 (originally $46).

There’s a specific reason I bought this power bank: I wanted a reliable battery backup for going to concerts. I needed enough juice for my own phone and for my friends and family members, and I needed one small enough to fit in my wives’ small pockets. But most importantly, I needed the built-in charging cable (because why bother carrying a separate cable). Thus, the Anker Zolo.

Measuring 4.72 x 2.89 x 1.23 inches, it fits in my pockets. With a capacity of 20,000 mAh, it can recharge three or four phones before emptying out. The built-in cable reaches 45 watts of charging, which is fast enough to fully charge a phone in less than an hour. And it has additional USB-C and USB-A ports, accommodating up to three devices at once (assuming you have extra cables on hand and don’t mind power being shared between devices).

I’ve taken this thing with me to several concerts over the past year. I’m taking him to see Metallica tomorrow and Iron Maiden at the end of the month. It hasn’t let me down yet.

There are smaller power banks, and this one doesn’t offer wireless charging. It’s also not fast enough to use with a laptop. But for everyday peace of mind, it’s perfect. Get it now for $10 off at Best Buy while this deal is still on.
