You never know when you’re going to have access to a charging port while traveling, and it’s for that very reason that bringing a portable charger with you is essential for a safe and well-planned trip. There’s nothing more frustrating than when your phone is taking its sweet time eking past 20 percent charge or when your headphone or laptop battery dies in-flight, so a high-speed device is ideal for impatient travelers everywhere.

Plus, with three separate charging ports you can now connect multiple devices at once. It features two USB ports and USB-C input and output, providing power for your iPhone, iPad, and other USB-C devices. When you receive your charger in the mail it also comes with a USB-C cable and travel pouch to make packing simple.

An added bonus? If you’re trying to read on a dark flight, this charging block offers a built-in flashlight to provide increased visibility when needed. 

To buy: amazon.com, $30 (originally $35)Having a charging bank is great for day-to-day life, but many shoppers agree that this is an essential for hitting the road as well. One five-star customer wrote, “I purchased this power bank about a year ago and all I can say [is] it has exceeded my expectations. Very fast charging [and] excellent for travel.” Another shopper raved, “I own a lot of fast chargers, and this one is one of the best,” adding, “Lots of power, easy to hold and pack, and great when I’m on the move.”

And the brand didn’t exaggerate when it said this charger contains up to a week of battery life. In fact, one shopper confirmed, “With heavy normal use, it has kept my iPhone going for over one week.” Another customer added, “This bank lasts the whole week and I don’t have to take two banks on a week–long vacation.” They continued, “Great value, great warranty, great product, and responsive customer service.”

At the time of publishing, the price started at $23.
