Tip: Battery banks and battery chargers make great gifts for the tech-challenged

You might be coming to this list to pick up a portable power bank for yourself, but why not put one under the tree as well?

Okay, so power banks and portable battery chargers don’t make for the most exciting gifts but don’t count them out. I’ll never forget the year I got my mom a bunch of mobile accessories (a bluetooth kit for her car, a power bank, etc) as part of her Christmas gift. She took out the battery charger and said “what the heck is this?” Fasf-forward two years later and it’s always in her purse, for those moments when her phone needs a little extra juice. She swears it’s a must-have now. 

For us techies, a power bank is kind of a “duh” accessory, but you’d be surprised how many people would love the convenience of a portable battery charger but would never actually think to buy one themselves. Help these tech challenged folks out this holiday season and buy them one! Best of all, it’s a pretty cheap gift for those on tight holiday budgets.

In this list we focus on 10,000 mAh portable chargers, as that’s probably the best size for the average user. Here are a few other size options and types worth checking out:
