FYI
A portable laptop charger is the ideal companion if you want to charge your laptop while traveling or working remotely, in an emergency, or anytime a wall outlet is out of reach.
And it’s not just for laptops: With its built-in AC outlet, a laptop charger can power a variety of other devices, from vibrators and video projectors to breast pumps and baby monitors.
We’re confident the Mophie Powerstation Pro AC is the best portable charger with an AC outlet that you can buy. It keeps up with MacBook Pros and other powerful laptops, it has a compact size and shape, and its battery life is as good as any we’ve tested.
Our pick
Mophie Powerstation Pro AC
This portable charger has an AC outlet, two fast-charging USB-C ports, and a USB-A port, and it can charge even the most power-hungry laptops while they’re in use. But you need to provide your own wall charger.
The Mophie Powerstation Pro AC has the best AC output (174 watts) and as much capacity (27,000 mAh) of any model we’ve tested.
It’s also the only one we’ve tested with two USB-C ports—one has 63 W input and 62 W output capabilities, and the other only outputs at 24 W—and its two-year warranty is the longest of those we tested.
On the downside, it’s the heaviest option we tested at 2.2 pounds, it only has one USB-A port, it doesn’t come with a wall charger, and it’s on the pricier side ($200 at this writing). But its higher output and dual USB-C ports make it well worth the splurge.
Rated capacity: 27,000 mAh (97.2 Wh)
Max output: 174 W
Weight: 2.
2 pounds
Dimensions: 7.5 by 4.5 by 1.0 inches

Budget pick
ChargeTech Premium 27K AC
This more affordable charger has a fast-charging USB-C port, a standard USB-A port, and an AC outlet that cranked out an impressive 157 W of power in our testing. Plus, it comes with a wall charger.
The ChargeTech Premium 27K AC performed well in our testing, with a maximum output of 157 watts and a rated capacity of 27,000 mAh.
It’s also the only model we tested with a USB-C port that’s powerful enough to fast-charge the 13″ MacBook Air (we measured 65 W input and 67 W output). Unlike our top pick, it can be recharged over DC as well as USB-C, it’s fairly light (1.5 pounds), and it’s the least expensive of those we tested ($185 at this writing).
However, it has just one USB-C port and one USB-A port, its one-year warranty is on the shorter side, and it feels a little chintzy overall.
Also, the DC charger it comes with is bulky and won’t fit in the included carrying pouch. But overall, it’s a great option if you’re on a tight budget.
Rated capacity: 27,000 mAh (97.2 Wh)
Max output: 157 W
Weight: 1.5 pounds
Dimensions: 7.3 by 5.0 by 1.0 inches
Also great
Omnicharge Omni 20+
This compact, lightweight charger supports wireless charging and has an easy-to-read screen. It’s not as powerful as our other picks and doesn’t come with a wall charger, but it recharges via most USB-C or DC chargers.
If you have a phone or other device that can charge wirelessly, the Omnicharge Omni 20+ is the only one of our picks with wireless charging capabilities. It’s also one of the few models we’ve seen with dual input options (you can recharge it over DC or USB-C), as well as a screen showing input/output wattage, charge level, and operating temperature.
The Omnicharge is the lightest (1.4 pounds) and most compact of our picks, and it looks sleeker than most models, with rounded corners that make it comfortable to handle.
If you want those extra features and maximum portability, this is your best option, but this charger also has the lowest output (98 watts) and capacity of any of our picks, and it’s the most expensive at this writing. And although it comes with USB-A and USB-C cables, the package has neither a case nor a wall charger. Like the ChargeTech, this model is backed by a one-year warranty.
Rated capacity: 20,400 mAh (73.4 Wh)
Max output: 98 W
Weight: 1.4 pounds
Dimensions: 5.0 by 4.8 by 1.1 inches

Why you should trust us
I’ve been a science journalist for more than seven years, covering a wide variety of topics from particle physics to satellite remote sensing.
Since joining Wirecutter in 2017, I’ve reported on solar battery chargers, USB-C cables and adapters, rechargeable AA and AAA batteries, and more. I spent 29 hours researching and 82 hours testing portable laptop chargers for this guide alone.
For a previous version of this guide, I consulted with Lee Johnson, an electrical engineer with more than 15 years of experience designing and testing electronics.
Who this is for
Portable laptop chargers aren’t just for laptops. Since they’re power banks with AC outlets, they can provide power to virtually any device that draws up to about 100 watts—such as a room fan, floor lamp, air mattress pump, or ice cream maker.
But since most people who buy these chargers are mainly looking to charge their laptops while working remotely, we wrote this guide with them in mind. (If you need only USB-C and USB-A ports, our favorite USB power banks are powerful enough to charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro, an HP Spectre x360, or other laptops that charge via USB-C.
)
Even someone who is rarely away from their desk might want a portable laptop charger in case of a blackout or other emergency. A portable laptop charger will provide more power in that scenario than a USB power bank.
If you want to charge lots of different devices, or a single power-hungry device, for more than a few hours—or if you have critical electronics that require a pure sine wave inverter, such as a CPAP machine—you should get a portable power station. Generally speaking, these have more capacity, power, and ports than most portable laptop chargers, and they’re more ruggedly built (but they also tend to be bulkier, heavier, and more expensive).
How we picked and tested

After scanning the websites of major retailers and consumer-electronics brands, we narrowed our search based on the following requirements:
- 65-watt or greater output: Most laptops (larger business and gaming laptops aside) need about 60 W to charge at full speed, so we set our minimum limit at 65 W just to be safe.
- 60 to 300 watt-hour capacity: TSA regulations generally only permit you to carry spare batteries up to 100 Wh on a plane—or, with airline permission, either one battery up to 300 Wh or two batteries up to 160 Wh each. Since some people like to work or watch movies on their laptop on long flights, we capped our capacity limit at 300 Wh to account for this restriction. We set our minimum at 60 Wh because that’s equivalent to running a 60 W device (such as a 13-inch MacBook Pro) for one hour.
- Light and compact design: We gave preference to smaller, lighter models since they’re easier to bring to a coffee shop or on a plane.
- At least one fast-charging port: USB-C Power Delivery (PD) ports are starting to replace older USB-C and USB-A ports, in part because they can transmit up to 100 W (compared with just 15 W over standard USB-C and 12 W over USB-A). This means, with the right cable, they can charge a laptop or other compatible device about as fast as an AC outlet would.
- At least one USB-A port: Even though USB-C is becoming more common, most people still have standard USB-A charging cables, so we insisted that our picks have at least one USB-A port.
- Reliable support: If you’re spending hundreds of dollars on something and depending on it in tight situations, you want to know that the manufacturer is reputable and reachable in case something goes wrong.
- A cost of no more than $300: Based on the range of prices we saw, this is what we think someone would reasonably want to spend on a work-related purchase.

To test each charger, we gauged performance in a few key areas, including the following:
- Maximum power output: To test the maximum power output of each model, we connected each one to a Kill A Watt power meter and an array of light-bulb sockets. We screwed in 20 W halogen bulbs one by one until the charger overloaded and shut down. Then we recorded the maximum wattage reading on the power meter.
- How many times each charger could recharge a laptop: We started with a fully depleted 2015 13-inch MacBook Air and a fully charged portable laptop charger. Once the charger had juiced the laptop enough for it to power on, we maxed out the screen brightness and played a loop of high-resolution railway footage on YouTube. We let it run until the portable charger died or the laptop reached a full charge. If the laptop reached 100% before the portable charger died, we fully drained the laptop again and repeated the test with the partially charged portable charger to find the combined total number of recharges.
- Ability to charge a 15-inch MacBook: To make sure all of the chargers could power a large, high-powered laptop, we connected them to a 15-inch MacBook Pro that normally uses an 87 W power adapter and checked the Mac System Report to make sure it wasn’t struggling to get enough power.
- Look and feel: We picked the chargers up, stuffed them into a crammed backpack, and carried them around to see how they would fit into our lives. We also assessed extra features, such as a screen or battery-status lights.

Our pick: Mophie Powerstation Pro AC
Budget pick: ChargeTech Premium 27K AC

Budget pick
ChargeTech Premium 27K AC
This more affordable charger has a fast-charging USB-C port, a standard USB-A port, and an AC outlet that cranked out an impressive 157 W of power in our testing. Plus, it comes with a wall charger.
If you want to save a few bucks without losing many of the features or capabilities of our top pick, get the ChargeTech Premium 27K AC.
It has plenty of power. Like our top pick, this model can charge even large, professional-grade laptops without breaking a sweat. In our testing, we measured a peak-power output of 157 W (not far behind that of our top pick) from its AC outlet.
It’s also the only model we tested with a USB-C PD port that’s powerful enough to fast-charge the latest MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models: We measured a maximum output of 67 W.
Like our top pick, the ChargeTech has a single USB-A port, which is handy for charging a phone, wireless headphones, or other small device—albeit more slowly than a USB-C port.
It has great battery life. Just like our top pick, the ChargeTech has a rated capacity of 27,000 mAh, and it performed just as well as that model in our capacity tests.
It has multiple recharging options. Unlike our top pick, the ChargeTech can be recharged over DC as well as USB-C. While we didn’t test its DC input capabilities, we measured up to 65 W flowing into the USB-C PD port (meaning it can recharge itself a bit faster than our top pick).
It’s small and lightweight. Weighing just 1.5 pounds (about as heavy as a bottle of beer) and about the same size and shape as our top pick, the ChargeTech is highly portable.
Its warranty is on the shorter side. ChargeTech backs this model with a one-year warranty, which is shorter than that of our top pick, but it should still give you plenty of time to use your unit and ensure it’s not a dud.
It comes with a charger, but it’s bulky. Unlike our other picks, the ChargeTech helpfully comes with its own charger. However, the proprietary DC charger has a fat plug that takes up a lot of space in a bag (and, annoyingly, the power bank and its charger don’t fit in the included soft pouch).
It’s inexpensive (and it shows). As one of the least expensive portable chargers we’ve tested ($185 at this writing), the ChargeTech feels a little chintzy overall. So if build quality is important to you, go with one of our other picks.
Also great: Omnicharge Omni 20+

Also great
Omnicharge Omni 20+
This compact, lightweight charger supports wireless charging and has an easy-to-read screen. It’s not as powerful as our other picks and doesn’t come with a wall charger, but it recharges via most USB-C or DC chargers.
The Omnicharge Omni 20+ is one of very few available options with wireless charging, as well as a screen showing helpful information like input/output power and operating temperature. It is pricey and has less capacity and output power than our other picks, but it’s your best bet if you want these features.
It can charge your phone wirelessly. This unit also has a Qi wireless-charging feature (though it’s not certified by the Wireless Power Consortium, which we’d prefer for confirmation of safety and optimal performance) that you can use to charge some phones and other devices.
It’s exceptionally compact and lightweight. The Omnicharge is about the size of a bagel or kaiser roll. It has a square shape with gently rounded corners that make it easier to hold or to stuff into a bag. And at 1.4 pounds, it’s the lightest of our picks.
It has well-spaced ports. The ports on this unit are widely spaced, leaving ample room for multiple plugs.
It has an AC outlet on one side, and USB-C PD and DC input/output ports on another. On a third side, you’ll find two USB-A output ports, an OLED display screen, and control buttons to toggle various ports on and off.
It has an upscale, professional look. Its outer shell is made of a soft-textured plastic that’s grippy and comfortable to hold, and it seems relatively scratch and scuff resistant. After you handle it for a while, its surface is likely to gain some fingerprints, however.
Its screen is bright and informative, if sometimes cluttered.
When you’re recharging the unit, it displays a large battery icon to show how much charge it has, which is clear and helpful.
But when you’re using it to charge another device, the screen offers so much data—wattage, voltage, temperature, percentage charged, and what ports are currently powered on—that the display can feel cluttered, making it harder to glean key info at a glance.
Capacity and output are on the low side, but sufficient for most needs. In our testing, the Omnicharge topped out at 98 W of power output—less than our other picks, but still plenty of power to charge most laptops while they’re in use.
It brought our MacBook Air from no charge to 80% charged, which again was less than our other picks managed, but not by much.
It comes with cables, but not a wall charger. The Omnicharge comes with both USB-A and USB-C cables, but you’ll have to supply your own wall charger. Since most laptops are powered by a USB-C or DC wall charger, you might already have one on hand that’s compatible with this unit.
If you don’t already have a suitable charger, Omnicharge sells a charger separately or in a bundle with the main unit, but we don’t recommend either one. The wall charger is difficult to put together, and you can typically get one of our favorite wall chargers for less.
Its ports aren’t protected. We wish this unit came with a rubber flap over its ports to protect its internal components against dust and minor spills, as several other models we’ve tested do.
Product support is solid. Its one-year warranty isn’t as long as that of our top pick, but we still think the coverage is long enough for you to fully test the charger and confirm that it doesn’t have a problem. Customer service is responsive, too.
It’s not cheap. At this writing, the Omnicharge is one of our more expensive picks. But as the brand’s name suggests, this model also offers the most charging options.
Other good portable laptop chargers
If you don’t mind buying a discontinued product: Get the Anker PowerHouse 100 or Mophie Powerstation AC.
Both are former top picks, but since they’re discontinued they may be difficult to find. They’re still being sold by some retailers, though, and either would be a great substitute if our current top pick becomes unavailable—or if you see a good deal.
The Anker PowerHouse 100 performed well in our testing, providing a maximum output of 141 W and a 27,000 mAh rated capacity—lasting long enough to bring a dead MacBook Air battery up to 90% charged, even during heavy use with the screen brightness turned up.
It has a variety of output ports, including a USB-C PD port, two USB-A ports, and an AC outlet. And unlike most portable chargers, it comes with a 45 W wall charger and a USB-C cable that you can use to recharge it at top speed, as well as a USB-A cable and a protective cloth carrying case.
It’s small, ruggedly built, and easily packable, weighing just 1.9 pounds. It’s intuitively designed, too—though we could do without the built-in flashlight and wrist strap.
Similarly, the Mophie Powerstation AC has a peak-power output of 123 W, a 22,000 mAh capacity rating, and a good selection of ports: a USB-C PD port, a USB-A port, and an AC outlet.
It doesn’t come with a charger, but it’s small and compact, weighing just 1.7 pounds. Plus, it’s covered in a soft twill fabric that we love.
What to look forward to
Goal Zero has introduced a new version of the Sherpa 100AC Power Bank, which improves on the original with an angled color LCD and faster wired and wireless charging. We plan to test it soon.
The competition
This is not a comprehensive list of all portable laptop chargers we’ve tested and dismissed. We have removed models that are discontinued or do not meet our current criteria.
The Goal Zero Sherpa 100AC Power Bank (original version) had a 160 W output in our testing, and it charged our MacBook Air up to 95% on a single charge.
It’s fairly compact, enjoyable to use, and equipped with an informative OLED screen, too. But at $300, it was also the spendiest model we tested, and it didn’t offer any extra features that justify this price jump. However, as of this writing, open box models are on final sale with a significant price cut that may make this charger a better option for the right buyer.

Who It’s For
If you spend a lot of time outdoors, this is among your best choices for keeping your devices running while off of the grid. In other words, it’s camping approved.
What Size Battery Do You Need?
These days “small” portable batteries have a capacity of around 5,000mAh, which means they easily fit into your pockets and still have enough power to fully top up your phone once.
Meanwhile, a 10,000mAh battery can give today’s flagships two full charges. A 20,000mAh battery can charge a flagship four times, or two phones two times. Some power banks have enough juice to power laptops.
Of course, a higher capacity often translates to a heavier, larger, and more expensive battery.
Most companies advertise how many times their products can recharge popular phones, but if you want to calculate that number for yourself, RAVPower has a useful guide(Opens in a new window) that can give you an estimate.
In the end, it’s best to assess your typical needs before buying. If your phone hits the red zone by mid-afternoon and you only need enough juice to get you to the end of the workday, a 5,000mAh battery should be plenty.
What’s the Difference Between Power Input and Output?
You’ll find three types of ports on today’s portable batteries:
Generally speaking, you charge the battery itself via micro USB or USB-C (input). Some batteries charge faster than others and USB-C charges much faster than micro USB.
Nearly all batteries include a standard USB-A port (output). This is for plugging in USB-A-to-micro-USB, USB-A-to-Lightning, or USB-A-to-USB-C cables for charging your iPhone or Android device.
Some batteries include built-in output cables and these generally have micro USB, USB-C, or Lightning connectors.
The most important thing to do is to match the battery’s output to your phone’s input. For example, if you have an iPhone, be sure the battery has its own Lightning connector or supports USB-A-to-Lightning or USB-C-to-Lightning cables.
Larger batteries with higher capacities might include a multitude of ports to support input and multiple outputs at the same time. You may see two USB-A and two USB-C ports, for example, though micro USB ports are becoming less common.
If you picked up an iPhone 13 or iPhone 14 and were surprised by the lack of an included wall charger, see our article on charging your iPhone.
What Is Fast Charging?
Another factor to consider is how quickly a power bank can charge your device. Battery output is measured in voltage and amperage. Amperage (or current) is the amount of electricity that flows from the battery to the connected device, while voltage is the amount of potential energy. Multiplying volts by amps gives you wattage, the measure of total power. To make devices charge faster, most manufacturers either vary the voltage or boost the amperage.
Today’s devices support a wide range of rapid-charging technology, such as Qualcomm QuickCharge, USB Power Delivery, or proprietary fast-charge systems.
Quick Charge works by increasing voltage rather than amperage. This standard typically allows you to charge supported phones to 50 percent capacity in 30 minutes, which is especially helpful when you need power in a pinch.
Power Delivery is a newer protocol in which two compatible devices negotiate on the fastest charging option available based on the charger, cable, and circuitry. It also allows for power to flow both ways.
The most common devices (Apple iPhones and Samsung Galaxies) support charging rates of 27W and 45W, respectively. It’s best to look for batteries that can support charging in that range.
Is Pass-Through Charging Safe and Useful?
Pass-through charging is another feature to consider; with it, you can charge devices and the portable power bank simultaneously. That’s convenient if both your phone and backup battery are running on empty. You shouldn’t encounter any safety issues if the manufacturer of the portable battery you buy advertises pass-through charging as a feature, but the power output might be slower in this mode.
How Does Wireless Charging Work?
Wireless charging has become popular because it allows you to power up compatible devices without a cable. Qi is the dominant standard for compatible Android phones (up to 18W) while Apple iPhones rely on MagSafe charging (up to 15W). iPhones will charge wirelessly on Qi chargers, but only at 7.5W.
Some battery makers have built Qi or MagSafe-compatible wireless charging into the surfaces of their portable batteries. Such batteries mean you can leave the cables at home.
Should You Buy a Battery Case Instead of a Power Bank?
If you find that you often forget to carry your backup battery when you need it most, you should consider a dedicated battery case instead. These combine the portability and protection of a case with additional battery capacity to keep your phone topped off at all times.
There are several drawbacks. First, they have limited additional capacity on board. Second, they are limited in terms of the number of phones they support (mostly just iPhones, Galaxies, and Pixels). Third, you can’t charge much else with them.

A set of 2 rechargeable USB batteries with a Type C charging cable suitable for use in various devices such as remotes, flashlights, computer mice, keyboards and others. Thanks to the cable included in the kit, the batteries can be charged from any device that has a standard USB 2.0 connector (and higher). The built-in indicator will indicate the charging process, as well as its end. The battery has built-in protection against a low charge level, which leads to a loss of the total capacity of the device, and from overcharging (power off at 100%). The use of duwi USB batteries helps to maintain the ecology of the planet, because you no longer have to dispose of harmful analogues (ordinary batteries). All duwi devices are cadmium and mercury free.
