Top reasons to always carry a power bank

Long trips, cold days and the map you need at the end of the day: a power bank in the bag saves them all.

Start with what you use most

The best device is the one that fits how you already live. Think about where you use it, for how long and with what else, before you look at the numbers on the box.

Read the numbers that matter

Battery life, how it connects and how long it takes to charge tell you more than the peak figures. A good fit beats the biggest specification.

• Check it works with the phone you have.
• Look at the charging port and the cable it needs.
• Keep the box for thirty days, in case you change your mind.

Set it up once

Ten minutes with the settings saves hours later: turn on updates, name your devices and set the battery saver.

Good technology gets out of the way.
