This pocket-sized power bank drops to $30 with a built-in charging cable | usagoldmines.com

You never want to be caught out away from home with your phone dangling at 10% battery or less. With modern power banks, there’s no need to put yourself through that kind of stress. And right now, the Baseus Picogo AC22 power bank is on sale for just $30, down from its original $40, offering one of the most compact models at a great price.

Seriously, the size of this thing will impress you. Barely larger than a wireless earbuds case, the Baseus Picogo AC22 measures 2.8 x 2.4 x 1.0 inches and weighs only 6 ounces. Slip it into a pocket and forget about it, or use the built-in USB-C cable as a carrying strap on your wrist or fingers. With its 10,000mAh capacity, it can charge your phone up to 2 full times, providing peace of mind for at least an entire day.

Let’s circle back to that built-in USB-C cable. You don’t have to pack a separate charging cord when you have this power bank, and that built-in cable provides fast charging at up to 45W. That can take a dead phone from 0% to 50% in about half an hour, which is plenty fast for day-to-day use. But if you do have a separate cord, you can simultaneously charge a second device via the extra USB-C port.

A few reasons to pass this one up for other power banks. First, if you need to charge a laptop, you’ll want a much bigger one (with a much bigger price tag) with at least 100W. Second, if you need power for multiple days between recharges (like on a road trip or camping weekend), maybe size up to a 20,000mAh model. And third, if you want to charge your phone wirelessly via MagSafe, check out this alternative model instead.
