My Favorite Chargers of 2019

Most of the chargers and power banks I checked out in 2019 were good. Some were better for general use. While others were made to handle a particular niche better than the average charger. But a few stood out for me personally.

Power Banks

Anker PowerCore 10000 PD | Review

The best new power bank from Anker in a while. It meets the needs of most of us with a USB PD supporting phone, Nintendo Switch, or other small device. When you add in the cost of a USB-C cable it is priced to compete. And I like its compact design.

AUKEY PB-Y25 Sprint Wireless | Review

One of the smallest power banks with USB-C PD, Quick Charge, and Qi wireless charging. It has lower capacity to keep its slim design. But lots of charging flexibility for a lot of devices. I’ve found myself using it as a travel wireless charging pad.

J-Go Tech XCOREsion 15-45 | Review

The smallest 45W USB-C PD power bank on the market. Its 15,000mAh won’t keep a laptop running all day. But it isn’t much bigger than many lower output power banks. So it makes for a good phone charger that can handle a laptop in an emergency.

Wall Chargers

Anker PowerPort Atom PD 1 | Review

One of the most anticipated USB-C chargers of the year. Enough power output for a small laptop, but fits in the palm of your hand. Any USB-IF certified, too. The only debate about its greatness came from those who prefer folding prongs on their charger.

Anker PowerPort PD Nano | Review

One of Anker’s least hyped chargers turned out to be a great addition to their offerings. One of the smallest 18W USB-C PD chargers. About the size of an iPhone charger, but offering 3 times the output. And USB-IF certification. But only available at Best Buy.

AUKEY PA-D5 Focus Duo 63W | Review

My new go to travel charger. It pushed me to stop using a USB-C & USB-A multiport charger. The top port will fast charge my iPhone 8. The bottom port works well for all my travel devices, from a second iPhone to my MacBook Pro. With the right assortment of cables it handles every my wife and I need away from home.

USB-C Cable

AUKEY Impulse Braided Cable C-C | Review

I really like this cable. It is the first non-black or white in my collection. It has good length when traveling with a laptop. And the durability of a braided cable without all the inflexibility. The only downside is AUKEY doesn’t submit their products for USB-IF certification. Even so it is now part of my travel kit when I go with a larger USB-C device.
