I'm looking for a small power bank for a mobile - for taking out and about so not too heavy please.

Can anyone please recommend one? Amazon has hundreds but not a clue what I'm looking for.

TIA

What connector does your phone have? Get one that connects to it.
That's not too heavy that will give you extra power.

Have a look for one of these that is compatible with your phone. Small, lightweight and since it plugs straight into the phone no cables to faff with.

They’re all pretty much of a muchness, really. Get a light one.

How many times will you need to use it before you can recharge the Bank?
What you need depends on your use for it.

For example I can use mine to charge my phone 4-5 times. Because I take it hiking where there is no electricity. You can buy smaller cheaper ones to just charge once

I rate Anker as a brand. Easy to use and reliable.

Ditto re Anker

I’ve got mine from Amazon, just googled mini power bank

WhyAmINotCleaning · 10/01/2024 19:27

I use Anker too.

Anything 20,000 AMH will charge your phone nicely. Anything less might be a bit rubbish. Anker is a good brand.

I love this one.

It is the best one I have had so far. It has the leads already on it to recharge or use, it shows the % of what the battery left on it is, it charges phones very fast and also holds enough power to recharge several phones. For that reason it is a little bigger than the tiny, charges just one phone power packs, but I'd rather carry a slightly bigger one that holds more charge.

Ditto Anker!

Definitely Anker.
