This Power Bank (and Wall Charger) Is Just $60 Right Now | Lifehacker

If you're like me and dread watching your battery die while you're out, the Anker GaNPrime 2-in-1 Hybrid Charger might be worth checking out—especially since it's now discounted to $58.99 (from $99.99). It’s essentially a 65W wall charger and a 10,000mAh power bank rolled into one device, for those of us who are tired of carrying multiple chargers.

It comes in black or gold color options and reportedly powers everything from phones to laptops (whether you’re team Android or Apple), charging up to three devices at once thanks to its two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. Its use of GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology promises faster charging, and its built-in ActiveShield 2.0 for smart temperature monitoring provides added protection against overheating and short circuits. However, at just over 11 ounces, it could be a bit bulky for pocket carry, and it’s not compatible with wireless charging, which might be a dealbreaker for some.

If you need even more juice, the Anker Prime Power Bank, with a massive 27,650mAh capacity, might be a better fit, though it comes at a higher price point ($129.99, down from $179.99).
