You can never go wrong with a handy power bank or charger, especially when your phone's battery is near empty after downloading an episode of the Rings of Power. I’ve had something similar happen on multiple occasions, so I can’t stress enough how helpful it is for me to have a portable charger or power bank in my backpack. Right now is an excellent time to consider one, thanks in part to Amazon's latest sale.

I know what you’re thinking: Why buy them now when Prime Big Deal Days is on the horizon? Well, that’s because you never know when the best deals happen. It could be today, it could be tomorrow, many months down the road, or perhaps the best deal has already happened.

But the reason why I recommend shopping for them now as opposed to actual Prime Day is because of Amazon’s return policy. If a price happens to be less come Prime Day, you can at least use this to your advantage to get the savings — and oppositely, get the savings now if it doesn’t get any cheaper come October Prime Day.

I’ve been testing many of the best portable chargers, power banks, batteries, and more to know what to look for. For example, how their charging speeds differ and what kinds of ports they offer. There are even multi-chargers that can charge some of the best wireless earbuds around, like the new AirPods 4, as well as ones that come with integrated Apple Watch chargers. You’ll find savings upwards of 90% off with the deals I list down below. (For more ways to save, check out today's best Amazon promo codes).
