Best Travel Power Banks 🚀 | Evetech

Nothing kills the vibe of a trip faster than a dead phone battery. Whether you’re navigating a new city, on a long road trip, or stuck at the airport, staying powered up is essential. We’ve sifted through the options to find the best portable power banks that balance size, speed, and capacity for any South African traveller.

Name Price (ZAR) Stand-out Spec

Top Power Banks for SA Travellers

Here are our top picks to keep you charged on the go, from quick city breaks to long-haul adventures.

1. Promate Bolt-10

This is the perfect pocket-friendly companion for daily excursions. Its 10,000mAh capacity is enough to charge your phone twice, and the slim, lightweight design means you’ll barely notice it’s there until you need it. Simple, reliable, and incredibly convenient. ✈️

2. Promate Torq-20

For longer trips where wall plugs are scarce, the Torq-20 is a lifesaver. Packing a massive 20,000mAh capacity and 20W Power Delivery, it can fast-charge multiple devices, from phones to tablets, ensuring you and your travel buddies stay connected. 💪

3. Promate PowerMag-10

The ultimate convenience for iPhone users. This power bank snaps magnetically to your phone for hassle-free wireless charging. It also features a 20W USB-C Power Delivery port, giving you the best of both worlds: cable-free top-ups and high-speed wired charging. ✨

TIP FOR YOU

Flying? Know Your Limits!

Most airlines have a 100Wh (Watt-hour) limit for power banks in your carry-on luggage. A 20,000mAh unit is around 74Wh, making it perfectly safe for air travel. Anything larger might require airline approval, so always check before you fly!

We looked for models with modern features like USB-C Power Delivery (PD) for fast charging, a variety of ports for different devices, and a physical size that won't weigh down your luggage.
