Recently, I've been testing rechargeable hand warmers, and to be honest, most of them are junk. Some were dead on arrival, others failed after a few hours, some had absurdly short runtimes, and others got dangerously hot. I've found a few good ones, but they're rare. What I've been searching for is a hand warmer that combines fast USB-C charging, water resistance, power bank functionality, and the ability to handle extreme cold.

This ultra-slim battery pack fixes the common problem of phones dying in the middle of the day when you're not near an outlet: It does this with 45W Power Delivery charging which is faster than most other portable chargers and the dual USB-C port setup (and one additional USB-A port) lets you use the same type of connection for both input and output.

They were jazzed about this new 20,000mAh, 22.5W fast charge power bank because of their single-focused obsession -- weight. Also: The best power banks: Expert tested and reviewed At 10.1 ounces (286 g), this beat the and by a few grams. In the ultralight hiking community, a few grams mean everything. Combine that with a $25 price tag and the cute Haribo branding -- it has a fake gummy bear on it! -- and the product went somewhat viral.

The imaging capabilities of many smartphones may now rival dedicated cameras, but their ergonomics do not. Belkin's PowerGrip solves that with a DSLR-style grip on one end giving you a secure way to hold your smartphone while taking pictures, even with your phone in portrait mode. The PowerGrip also has its own shutter button, positioned on the top edge of the grip so it sits beneath your finger, that snaps images using a Bluetooth connection to your phone.

Baseus has always been a company that's had its eye on the ball when it comes to attention to detail, and that shows with the EnerCore CR11. The retractor on this power bank is one of the smoothest I've tested, and it locks out at several different lengths (as opposed to many where you only get three or four). I like this because I can make the 2.3 foot cable the right length for my needs.

Anker's Laptop Power Bank came to the rescue of my laptop and smartphone during a recent power outage. They were on the verge of dying, but its pair of retractable USB-C cables powered up my devices so I could keep working remotely. Since then, I carry it with me wherever I go, and it's bailed me out time and again.

The K1 wireless power bank from Kuxiu is a versatile accessory for Apple users, offering simultaneous charging for iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods.

Ugreen claims to have developed the world's first Qi2.2-certified power bank capable of wirelessly charging devices at speeds up to 25W, exceeding the current 15W maximum.

The Lito Mini folds up like a book, glowing gently when opened, designed with a satisfying texture and magnetic closure that reflects careful attention to detail.

Anker has received 19 reports of fires and explosions caused by its faulty power bank. Among those incidents, there have been two reports of minor burn injuries.

What really sets this case apart is the chunky but clever compartment hiding a removable 10,000mAh power bank... showing you the remaining battery life at a glance.
