Sometimes, having a power bank makes you the coolest person around. Your friends’ phones are dying, but you’re cool as a cucumber as you whip your portable charger out and start juicing your phone back up. You don’t have to live your life constrained to making sure you’re always around an outlet. And if you’re looking to pick one up, you can do so right now for less than the price of a McDonald’s Big Mac meal. Seriously.
The INIU Portable Charger is just $16 at Amazon right now, down from its usual price of $22. That’s $6 off and a 27% discount. That makes it even more affordable than it already is and well worth picking up even if you just leave it in your bag and never take it out. Because you never know when you might need it, after all.

Your new daily “just in case” charger
It’s hardly large enough to take up most space, so you don’t have to worry about being bogged down. At about the size of a smartphone, it’s one of the lightest 10,000mAh chargers you can buy. It’s just over 7 ounces, and it’s not a huge, chunky brick that you have to tote around, which makes it a much more palatable option than much of the competition.
Whether you’ve got a new phone, wireless earbuds, or an older tablet, it can handle all of them. Plus, it automatically adjusts its power output based on what each device you use. So you don’t have to worry about picking and choosing what you use with it.
And of course, there are a few niceties it has to make it even more of a good buy. It has a built-in flashlight, for instance, and a digital readout that tells you exactly how much battery is left. No, it won’t charge your laptop or power your devices for a weekend off-grid, but that’s not the point. This is a daily-use, toss-it-in-your-bag kind of power bank. And the point is for you to probably forget it, then pick it up later when you find yourself needing some juice at some point.
For just $16, it’s really a no-brainer, especially if you buy coffee every day or something similar anyway. Might as well grab one of these. Or three or four. Keep one in your car, your bag, at home, and wherever you may need power. Just don’t forget to top it up occasionally.
