If you need a power bank that can juice up your devices a few times through USB charging, one that’s also sturdy and lightweight, the Jackery Portable Charger stands tall as one of the best portable chargers in all those categories. This will be your best friend when you’re desperate to fully charge your Galaxy S8, iOS devices, and so on.

Why We Like It – Jackery Portable Charger

The Jackery Portable Charger combines a lightweight, sturdy build with a charging power that can juice up your Android and iOS devices several times over.

Pros
  • Universal compatibility
  • Lightweight
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • Only has one USB port

Performance

The Jackery Portable Battery Pack isn’t the best performing compared to other power banks like, say, the Anker PowerCore 20100mAh Charge, but it isn’t a slouch when you need it most. You can easily get two to three full charges out of it, depending on the device. The Anker PowerCore can pull at least eight full charges. Still, the Jackery Portable Charger has plenty of portable power for anyone looking for fast charging battery packs. It’s charging speed is decent, certainly not the fastest, but it gets the job done.

Design

Arguably the best feature the Jackery Portable Charger has going for it is its design. Its dimensions make it perfect as a portable power device, only being 3.80 x 1.80 x 0.90 inches. Compare that to the INIU Portable Charger 10000mAh, which is basically like carrying another phone, and you’ll see a stark contrast between the two. Additionally, it’s really sturdy with its drop-resistant aluminum casing.

At one end is a handy flashlight. On the same end is a microUSB port—which also includes a microUSB charging cable—and a single USB port. It does a fine job as USB-a ports go, able to handle lightning cables, and so on. If you want more ports, look to the Portable Charger Power Bank 24800mAh.

Value

The Jackery Portable Charger isn’t boasting the best features in the business, nor is it aiming for that. Instead, the value of this particular power bank is its portability and universal compatibility. It can charge just about any device that makes use of a USB port.

Sure, there’s only one USB port, but you aren’t stuck at an outlet like a wall charger would do. It’s also true it takes longer for your device to be fully charged compared to chargers in this bracket. But more often than not those devices are bulky; this one is tiny and easily forgettable inside your pocket. And if you want more cables, look to the Jackery Bolt.

Jackery Portable Charger Wrap Up

The Jackery Portable Charger Bar 6000mAh is a small, compact, and durable workhorse that won’t let you down when you need it. It’s capable of juicing up any device that needs a USB port to charge, and it does so at a decent pace. Sure, there’s only one USB port available, but this is best suited as a personal battery pack.
