The 4 Best Laptop Power Banks We’ve Tested (2026)
It’s too big for everyday carrying and you can’t fly with it, but if you’re going off-grid for a few days, it’s the largest capacity portable charger you can realistically and easily carry around. It also features a cute pop-up lantern with three brightness settings and a versatile array of ports. I have a separate guide to the best portable power stations with recommendations for anyone who needs even more power.
Other Great Laptop Power Banks
Here are some other proven laptop power banks that might be worth considering.

Shargeek 170 Power Bank for $169: Perfect for lovers of translucent technology, this external battery has a capacity of 24,000 mAh capable of charging most laptops once. It looks cool, with a smart display showing battery life in percentage, time remaining, and input or output in watts, and it supports Power Delivery 3.1, Quick Charge 4.0, and PPS, among other standards. Although the total maximum power is 170 watts, you’re limited to 140 watts from a single USB-C port.
Anker Laptop Power Bank for $120: While this power bank is a great all-rounder and tops my guide to the best power banks, the 100-watt limit means it can’t charge your laptop as quickly as my other picks. If you don’t care about speed, this is still a solid option, but sticking with Anker, some people will prefer the Prime above, with a maximum output of 300 watts, or the 737 below, since it can send or receive 140 watts from a single USB-C port.

Anker 737 Power Bank for $110: This is a versatile and reliable power bank with a capacity of 24,000 mAh that supports Power Delivery 3.1 and can send or receive up to 140 watts for charging laptops. You can recharge it from scratch in an hour. It’s relatively compact, but it weighs almost 1.4 pounds. The sleek digital display shows remaining battery percentage and stats, including temperature, total power, cycles and more. It charged everything I tested it with quickly, and you can charge three devices at once without issue.
Ugreen 145W Power Bank for $70: Surprisingly compact for a 25,000 mAh battery, this one weighs 1.1 pounds and has two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. Our old pick for tablets, the Ugreen, actually offers 145 watts, one USB-C port at 100 W and the other at 45 W. There’s a small LED readout on the side of the battery with the current battery charge status. I would have also liked to see charging information on this screen, but it’s a small issue with what is an otherwise great option if you need to keep your tablet or iPad charged wherever you are.
