If you're traveling for an extended period of time, a portable charger is probably one of the first things you throw in your bag, especially since most modern smartphones no longer come with charging pads.
Right now, the Anker 713 Nano II is on sale for just $19 at Amazon, a massive 51% off its regular price. This small, high-capacity portable charger will become your new travel essential, especially if your phone didn't make our list of the best smartphone batteries.
Many members of the Tom's Guide team rate Anker chargers because of the brand's durability and reliability, which is why you'll find the company elsewhere in our guide to the best portable chargers . And the 713 is no different. It packs a lot of power into a single adapter to charge other devices at maximum speeds.
This isn’t the most powerful charger in Anker’s lineup, so it tops out at 45 watts instead of offering a 65-watt charging option. But that’s still enough to fast-charge devices like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and Pixel 9 Pro XL. And what it lacks in power, it makes up for in portability. The small size and weight (it measures just 1.49 x 1.38 x 1.62 inches and weighs 2.44 ounces) will appeal to those with limited bag space.
This is a limited-time deal on Amazon, so there's no telling how long the discount will last. And I'd say everyone should ideally have two high-powered fast chargers on hand, one at home and one in their everyday carry bag. For less than $20, you can cut down on the time you spend tethered to a cord waiting for your phone, laptop, or tablet to charge, while still having plenty of room in your bag.
