A pocket-sized bank whose built-in, bend-tested cable is the real selling point over a bare battery brick, provided you only need phone-level charging.

Overview
Anker packs a 10,000mAh cell and a built-in 30W USB-C cable into a body small enough for a pocket, built for phone-first travel charging rather than laptops, which need more wattage than this delivers.
The built-in cable is the detail worth noting since it removes the most common reason a power bank goes unused, which is not having a cable on hand. Anker rates the cable itself to survive over 10,000 bends, addressing the point where built-in cables usually fail first. Output tops out at 30W, enough for a fast phone charge but short of what a laptop needs.
- 10,000mAh capacity in a 4.3 x 2.6 x 1 inch body
- Built-in USB-C cable rated for 10,000+ bends
- 30W output, 20W input for bi-directional charging
- About 2 full iPhone 15 charges per bank
Who it's for
Phone-first travelers who want a compact bank with its own cable rather than packing a separate charging cord, and who charge phones or earbuds rather than laptops.
Pros and cons
- Built-in cable, nothing extra to pack
- 30W is fast for a bank this size
- Bi-directional charging recharges the bank itself at 20W
- Built-in cable can't be swapped if it fails
- Not enough wattage for laptop charging
Performance notes
30W output is rated to take an iPhone 16 Pro Max to 50 percent in about 27 minutes, roughly double the speed of a standard 5V/3A charger, and the same port supports 20W input for recharging the bank itself. Anker's capacity estimates put it at about two full iPhone 15 charges or ten AirPods Pro 2 charges per full bank, though the built-in USB-C cable means older Lightning devices need their own cable plugged into the spare port.

Frequently asked questions
Does it come with a charging cable?
Yes, a 5.4 inch USB-C cable is built into the bank itself, plus a separate USB-C port for other devices.
Can it charge a MacBook?
It can output up to 30W over USB-C, which will trickle-charge a MacBook but won't fast charge one the way a dedicated laptop charger does.
How many phone charges does it hold?
Anker estimates about two full charges for an iPhone 15 or an iPhone 14 Pro from the 10,000mAh cell.
