I always say that it is mandatory to have a power bank in your bag when you are out and about; You never know when you will be caught in an unexpected situation when your phone’s battery is approaching zero. A small power bank like the Baseus Picogo AC22 is more than enough for that, and right now it’s on sale for $30 on Amazon (down from its original $40).
It is tiny in size but don’t be fooled. Its 10,000 mAh capacity is enough to recharge your phone about two times, which should be enough for a day trip around the city or an overnight stay in a hotel. and so? is Small, physically speaking, it measures just 2.8 x 2.4 x 1.0 inches and weighs just 6 ounces. You can put it in a pocket, purse or backpack and not feel weighed down.
It also doesn’t sacrifice performance for size. The Picogo AC22 comes with a built-in USB-C cable that offers 45W fast charging, which can restore up to 50% battery in half an hour on most phones. That cable also doubles as a carrying strap when you’re not using it. And if you need to charge a second device, you can use the additional USB-C port (with a separate cable, not included) and charge two things at the same time.
Is it good enough for a laptop? Only ultralight, low-power models (definitely not gaming laptops or workstations) and only if you charge while the laptop is not in use. Honestly, if you need a power bank for your laptop, you’d better have a bigger, faster one like this Anker 165W Laptop Power Bank. But as a phone-only backup charger, the Baseus Picogo AC22 is affordable and convenient.
