Charger / power bank / cable

Good8/10Mid-range

Anker is the brand reviewers most often recommend for chargers and power banks thanks to its range, performance and pricing. Its safety record took a hit in June 2025 with US recalls of the PowerCore 10000 (A1263) and five newer power banks, traced to a battery-cell supplier. Chargers and cables themselves remain well regarded.
