If your smartphone is always running out of juice while you're out and about, solve it with a portable battery charger — particularly, this one from Anker currently on sale . The brand's 622 model is a foldable, portable charger that can keep your devices alive and well, all with a MagSafe connection. It also cleverly doubles as a tripod! Because of its tiny size, that means wireless charging on the go. According to so many reviewers, that makes it perfect for theme parks , crossbody bags and pockets alike. Best of all, it's on sale for 46% off for Labor Day, the lowest price it's ever been.
It's a pocketable power bank that's easy to carry with you wherever you go. " I don't leave home without it ," swears one user.
Several reviewers love how slim and small this portable charger is, saying that it reduces clutter from pockets and bags, and it doesn't require any extra cords. One reviewer says, "I bought it and was blown away with the power it packs; it will charge my iPhone one time and a little more and is half the size of a wallet."
Users say it snaps to your phone instantly and is strong enough to stay engaged in your pants pocket or a backpack. While there isn't a built-in USB-C cord, it does include a port for charging the pack itself. According to one user, it charged their iPhone from " 12% to 85% in 20 minutes ."
It's recommended for Apple smartphones, but several use it for charging their Google Pixel .
It snaps magnetically to the back of your phone and doubles as a tripod, thanks to its built-in stand.
Its MagSafe connection supports up to 15W of Qi2-certified fast wireless charging, but it also serves a second purpose: locking your phone in place to use it as a tripod. The back of the charger has a foldable latch that lets you set up your phone like a kickstand, so you can stream videos or video chat with others hands-free.
"Magnet is pretty strong, stayed on even after putting it in my back pocket and taking it out," says one user . "Loved the kick foldable kickstand to prop your phone up to watch videos or even to take a photo! "
Anker promises a free 24-month warranty with every model, ensuring its longevity. So why not grab one (or two) while it's on sale this Labor Day?
This portable Anker charger is on sale for a limited time, so don't slack on it! Grab this Labor Day deal while you can, and take a look below to see what other folks are saying about it.
"I had the previous version of this, where the charging cable was at the bottom, so you couldn't charge it with the phone on while it was on the stand. That was the worst part of that charger, it was annoying, but I loved that it had a strong magnet and worked well. So even when it got wet from me dropping the bag it was in in the ocean, and the charger wasn't working great anymore, I was on the lookout for the same one. Thankfully they redesigned the new one so the charging port is on the side, and now I can charge the batter bank, while using it as a stand for my phone. It's extremely useful and I'll even be able to get rid of my phone stand at work (which was just a phone stand, with no charging capabilities). The MagGo also charges my MagSafe capable AirPods Pro case, so It works on multiple levels. […]" — Luis Octavio F. (This review has been edited for length. Read the full review .)
"I bought this because I was tired of carrying around bulky power banks, and it's honestly one of my favorite little gadgets now. The magnet snaps right onto my iPhone and actually stays put, even when I'm walking around. It's slim enough to slide into a small crossbody bag, which is a huge plus for me. And was great while I was in NYC for this reason!
It doesn't fully charge my phone from 0 to 100, but it gets me through a busy day of work, errands, and scrolling without stressing about finding an outlet. I also love that it has a little kickstand built in — perfect for watching videos while it charges.
If you rely on your phone as much as I do, this is a lifesaver.Definitely worth having as an everyday backup." — Marci Clayton" If you are tired of having to leave your phone plugged in because of battery life look no further! I use my Anker 622 daily. When my battery is running low it is so easy to pick up and attach to my phone at any time. I'vebuilt a habit of plugging in my Anker 622 after use. I am still on a lightning charger but most of my devices have switched to USB-C but I haven't used my lightning cables after getting this wireless charger. It even gets plugged in on my night stand every night. It does add a bit of weight when you have to put your phone back in your pocket. Fits right into my laptop bag, travel luggage, backpacks, shirt pocket, or backpack. It's compact and user friendly. Just don't forget to charge it!" — GReyes
"My all time new favorite magsafe gadget for whenever I am traveling or spending a day at a theme park! Helps my phone stay on all day when waiting around in queue lines. Definitely a must have whenever I go to disneyland or any other amusement park. Anker always makes high quality battery packs that last all day. but paired with magsafe makes it the most portable battery bank i've owned" — Oscar G

My friends kept trying to convince me to get one and I finally caved one day when a friend texted me that it was on sale. Well it's safe to say I don't regret it one bit.The battery life lasts about 2 weeks depending on how much I read per day, and the convenience is unmatched.
