Deciding to get one is simple. Choosing which one to get, however, isn’t.
Some might only be able to partially recharge your smartphone or tablet (or juice it more slowly than your wall charger), while others are able to quickly recharge multiple devices but might be more than you need.
How Popular Mechanics Chose The Best
To select these portable battery packs, we relied on our own previous research on the subject and experience using similar devices.
Then we consulted reviews from a range of trusted publications, including PC World, Wirecutter, and Android Central.
We also took into account customer ratings from online retailers like Amazon and Best Buy, using them to calculate our Consumer Score.
This represents the percentage of reviewers on those sites that rated the battery packs at least four out of five stars.
