Travel Tech Essentials: Power Banks, Chargers and Cables for Your Next Trip
A dead phone can ruin a travel day. It can mean no boarding pass, no maps and no way to contact anyone. A few small pieces of tech, packed the right way, keep you connected from the airport to your hotel and back.
What to look for
- Capacity. A power bank's capacity is measured in mAh. Larger capacity usually means more recharges but also more weight.
- Ports. Two outputs let you charge a phone and another device at once.
- Charging speed. A wall charger with higher wattage can charge compatible devices faster, which helps on short layovers and hotel stops.
- Cables. Choose cables that match your devices and fold small. Tangled cables waste time and space.
- Airline rules. Power banks usually must go in your carry-on, not checked luggage. Check your airline's limits before you fly.
Power bank for long travel days
The 20000mAh Ultra-Thin Power Bank has two USB outputs and a built-in LED flashlight. The large capacity suits long days of maps, photos and messages.
Fast wall charger for hotels and airports
The USB-C wall charger offers up to 35W output, which is handy for overnight stays and airport charging points. Remember to check the plug type you need for your destination.
Cables that pack small
- Retractable multi-port charging cable: folds flat into a bag or pocket and avoids tangles.
- Leather bracelet charging cable: a wearable spare cable for when your battery runs low.
Pocket power for cold weather
Traveling somewhere cold? The rechargeable hand warmer with a 5000mAh power bank doubles as emergency phone charging.
Hotel entertainment
The 3-in-1 phone to HDMI cable lets you mirror your phone on a TV or projector, which is useful for presentations and family movie nights on the road.
