The 20,100mAh Anker PowerCore+ has enough juice to charge a tablet several times, or keep a MacBook running for hours. In testing, it added 28 hours, 34 minutes to an iPad streaming full-screen video over Wi-Fi at maximum screen brightness. When plugged into a MacBook, it added 7 hours, 29 minutes in the same test. The Griffin Reserve lasted a little longer when powering the iPad (30 hours, 4 minutes), but with its two relatively low-power USB-A ports, it's unable to power USB-C devices like the MacBook. Our Editors' Choice, the 30,000mAh iMuto X6 Pro, kept the MacBook going for a much longer 11 hours, 43 minutes. But that is not the only that’s great about this power bank. It has enough battery capacity to charge up a dead iPhone 14 Plus to 43 percent in just an hour and 45 minutes. The portable battery bank also has passthrough technology. That means you can charge up your iPhone while charging the ArcHybrid Mag. Highlighted Features

It comes with two USB ports and a wireless charging pad to charge all your devices. Both USB ports can offer a speedy charge. They are each rated for 18W.
