The New York Times - All juiced up

Anyone who has ever scrambled out the door with their phone battery in the red or tried to finish work with the countdown of a dying laptop knows: It’s dreadful to see your device’s power dwindling away. A high-capacity power bank can help when you’re low on battery and outlets are out of reach.

We’ve spent years testing charging accessories to find the most powerful, lightweight, and speedy options for each of your gadgets: 

• For phones, tablets, and other small devices: A wallet-sized power bank is great to keep on hand. Our picks offer one or more full charges for most smartphones, and they’re small enough to fit in your bag.
• For laptops: A portable laptop charger will provide more power than a USB power bank. And with its built-in AC outlet, a laptop charger can power a variety of other devices, from video projectors to breast pumps. (If you have a newer MacBook or Chromebook, we also have USB-C-specific picks.)
