Everyone knows that after a while, your phone’s battery starts dying. I’ve had my current phone for about a year now and I’m already seeing it’s battery power deplete before my very eyes. It’s just deterioration after repeated use, charging it every day and night. It happens.
Rather than buy another phone for like $500, I was looking for a way to keep my phone topped off when I’m on the go. Something that would be great to have with me in the console of my car, or take with me on an airplane when I want to watch movies on my Kindle Fire on a long flight but not risk running my battery down to zero. I found that in the Anker portable charger.
I also thought it’d be a good gift idea for my girlfriend that she could carry in her purse. She’ll always text me at work that she forgot her charging cord and I’d get a message “I’m down to 5%” and need to send her a message on Facebook or something if I needed to reach her. So I picked a couple of these up and I can’t be happier, as detailed in my full review below.

Anker Portable Charger Review
I looked at the options on Amazon and read through the comments and it seemed pretty unanimous that this is the top brand to buy when it comes to these kinds of technology products, so I gave them a go.
There are a ton of different models available that have a wide range in size and battery power, and I went with the Powercore 15600 for myself and the Astro E3 for my girlfriend. The 15600 is an absolute beast in size and will definitely not fit in my pocket, but I didn’t intend it for that use as I will be using it in the car or in my luggage while traveling. The Astro is smaller, about the size of a smartphone but just a little bit thicker and would fit in my pocket.
