The 4 Best Laptop Power Banks We’ve Tested (2026)

This charger is too large to carry around day to day, and you can’t fly with it, but if you’re going to be away from the grid for a few days, it’s the highest capacity portable charger you can realistically carry easily. It also has a nice pop-up lantern with three brightness settings and a variety of outlets. I have a separate guide to the best portable power stations with recommendations for anyone who needs more power.

Here are a few tried and tested power banks for laptops that might be worth considering.

Sharkeek 170 Power Bank, $169: Perfect for sheer tech lovers, this power bank has a 24,000 mAh capacity capable of charging most laptops at once. It looks great, with a smart display that displays battery life as a percentage, time remaining, and input or output in watts, and supports Power Delivery 3.1, Quick Charge 4.0, and PPS, among other standards. While the total maximum output is 170W, you’re limited to 140W from a single USB-C port.

Anker laptop power bank, $120: Although this power bank is an excellent, versatile device and tops my best power banks guide, the 100-watt limit means it can’t charge your laptop at your chosen speed. If you don’t care about speed, it’s still a solid option, but sticking with Anker, some people will prefer the Prime above, with a maximum output of 300W, or the 737 below, because it can send or receive 140W from a single USB-C port.

Anker 737 power bank, priced at $110: This is a versatile and reliable 24000mAh power bank that supports Power Delivery 3.1 and can transmit or receive up to 140W to charge laptops. You can charge it from scratch within an hour. It’s relatively small in size, but it weighs about 1.4 pounds. The sleek digital display displays remaining battery percentage and stats, including temperature, total output, cycles, and more. It quickly charged everything I tested with it, and you can charge three devices at once without a problem.

Ugreen 145W Power Bank, $70: A surprisingly compact 25,000 mAh battery, it weighs 1.1 pounds and has two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. Our previous tablet pick, the Ugreen, actually offers 145 watts, one 100-watt USB-C port, and one 45-watt. There is a small LED readout on the side of the battery that shows the current charge status of the battery. I would have liked to see some charging information on that screen as well, but that presents a bit of an issue in what is a great option if you need to keep your tablet or iPad charged wherever you are.
