This Anker Prime power bank may be small, but it's powerful enough to charge two laptops and an iPhone simultaneously while on the go. It's also TSA-approved. "It's become one of my go-to portable batteries because it's so dependable, light, and powerful," said ZDNET editor Maria Diaz wrote in her review.

ZDNET editor Maria Diaz uses this portable power station and solar panel setup to save about $20 a month on her electric bill. It's a far easier setup than traditional solar panels, and can be expanded. The power station also works as a backup power source for blackouts.

"The Anker Solix F3800 Plus is an expandable battery with a 3.84kWh capacity, working like a cross between a traditional gas generator, a permanent home battery backup system, and a portable battery," she wrote in her review.
