There’s just a single input and single output, with four blue LEDs on top to show how much power remains. So it’s nothing fancy, but the PowerCore Speed is functional and intuitive in use. The Speed 10000 QC is an upgraded version of the PowerCore 10000, and you’ll notice it has a blue plastic prong inside its full-size USB output to indicate the improved performance. It supports Quick Charge 3.0, Voltage Boost and PowerIQ, and these three performance technologies combined in essence ensure that any connected device is charged in the shortest amount of time possible. If you don’t have a Quick Charge-enabled phone you’ll still get 12W from this output, and the input is also fast to refill the bank at 10W. Unfortunately there’s no support for passthrough charging, which would have been the icing on the cake.
Also with this version is a bundled mesh carry case, which is handy for keeping together the power bank and necessary cables. Overall a fantastic buy.

Anker PowerCore II 10,000 Slim A variation on the PowerCore Speed at the top of this chart with a longer, slimmer, rectangular body and PowerIQ 2.0 technology that allows it to offer 18W fast charging from a single chipset, the PowerCore II 10000 Slim is actually a couple of pounds cheaper at £25.99/$35.99 at Amazon at the time of writing.

Like that model it has an efficiency rating around 65 percent, so it’s good for charging most Android phones twice and iPhones three times. There’s also a 20,000mAh version, which costs £41.99/$56.99, but bizarrely looks completely different to the Slim. It is not only twice the capacity but has twice the number of LEDs that denote how much power remains, and features an extra full-size USB output. Only one of these two outputs is an 18W PowerIQ 2.0 port, however, with the second a 12W PowerIQ 1.0 output. This is still ‘fast’ when compared to the 5W chargers bundled with iPhones and some other smartphones.
One thing we really like about this upgraded model is that the improved performance is also available on the input, which means you can recharge the Slim in just 4 hours. So it’s ‘technically’ better than the PowerCore Speed, but we prefer the design of the Speed, and sometimes that can be the most important criteria of all. The extra height of this bank makes it feel bigger than the squat model, even though it’s also slimmer. Learn more in our full Anker PowerCore II 10000 Slim review.
6. ZMI PowerPack 10K We really like this ZMI PowerPack, and it should probably sit a little higher up our chart, but it’s brand- and not easily available in the UK just yet. In the US you can pick one up from Amazon for $20.99, but in the UK you’ll need to import one from China via BangGood at £19.11. (It was actually supplied by GearBest, but it’s not in stock there at the moment.) The PowerPack has a unique textured design that makes it very grippy, either on a desk or in the hand, yet below its matrix of thousands of tiny dots is a high-gloss surface, which creates an aesthetically pleasing overall look. It feels incredibly compact for a 10,000mAh bank, weighing just 117g and only 12.7mm thick.

We also like how fast this thing is, supporting Quick Charge on both input and output, helping us to overlook the lack of passthrough charging, and the fact it has both Micro-USB and USB-C inputs. Let’s hope the ZMI PowerPack becomes more easily available in the UK asap. 7. Iceworks 7000 The Iceworks 7000 is a very similar setup to the Flux Charger below, with a lower price (£19.95 at Amazon) and easier availability, but just the one built-in cable. The version we’re testing is a USB-C model, with that being very much the standard for Android phones today, but it does rule out iPhone users and those running older Android phones with a Micro-USB connection. The Iceworks is a fast charger for your phone or tablet, with both input and output rated at 15W.
