A good power bank is essential. Between my phone, headphones, tablet, and smartwatch, I feel like I always have one device or another begging me to plug it in. I actually carry around a power bank with me everywhere due to my chaotic, spontaneous lifestyle and refusal to charge my devices when they aren't actively dying. I purchased my favorite from our extensive list of the Best Power Banks, which features hand-tested picks from my fellow WIRED Reviews gadget experts. Several of their (and my) top picks are on sale right now.Sharge Shargeek 170 Power Bank for $110 ($60 off)ShargeShargeek 170 Power BankThis is the best-looking power bank we've tried, and the price comes within $10 of the lowest we've tracked. The transparent housing and triangle shape are cool, but the battery also performs well, with a 24,000-mAh capacity, a maximum output of 170 watts, and even a little bit of water resistance. There's a display that'll show you battery life, time remaining until a full charge, and the input or output in watts. The battery itself charges up in a little under an hour, provided you have the right cable and charger, and it can top off three devices simultaneously.AnkerMagGo Power Bank for Apple WatchThis little power bank can top off your Apple Watch in addition to other devices.
