CHJGD Powerstick: 2,600mAh

The CHJGD Powerstick is a small lipstick sized power bank with 2,600mAh. It has a 4-LED battery indicator that indicated its remaining charge, a microUSB port for charging and a single 2.1A USB port that'll charge your smartphone.

It has a distinct design too, which the company labels as "Gin and Tonic" after the drink. It looks good and does set itself apart from other small chargers int he market. At £10, there's not much to dislike. If you're looking for an ultra portable power bank that will grant you an extra charge, get the CHJGD Powerstick.

Amazon Basics: 5,600mAh

Type “portable charger” into Amazon and you’ll see the company’s Basics range promoted alongside all the big names, with seven different capacities on offer from 2,000mAh to 16,100mAh. We plumped for the 5,600mAh model to review.

This is a fraction wider and thinner than a pack of cards, and slips comfortably into a pocket. True to its name, there’s nothing fancy or frivolous about its design. Its matte black, rubberised finish is well constructed, but you get only one charging port.

There are four indicator lights for the battery, indicating 25% to 100% capacity. One nice touch is that they flash when it dips below 10%, a handy reminder that it’s time to find a plug.

As you’d expect from such a small capacity, you don’t get much out of it. One full recharge of our test Nexus 6P phone, which has a 3,450mAh capacity, took the Basics down to 25%, according to the indicator lights. In reality, there was only enough left to push the phone from zero to 14%.

As a slip-in-your-pocket charger, though, this model is a great buy.

CHJGD UltraCompact: 10,000mAh

The CHJGD UltraCompact is a 10,000mAh power bank that's ultra-portable due to its small form factor and 181g weight. With a selection of designs to choose from, the portable charger stands out from the crowd.

The device is intelligent enough to turn on as soon as a device is connected through its single 2.1A output USB port. If for any reason the power bank doesn't automatically switch on, you can rely on its button to turn it on.

Remaining levels of charge are illuminated through four blue LED lights found at the side of the device. Each LED represents 25% capacity. The unit takes a few hours to recharge through its microUSB port. You'll be able to use the power bank as a pass-through, whereby you can charge the power bank while still charging your smartphone through its USB output.

Unlike most power banks, the CHJGD UltraCompact has four layers of PCBA circuit protection, which prevents it from catching fire or causing harm. This makes it a safe device to use and even comes with a one year warranty for your peace of mind.

If you're looking for a small, portable power bank that's safe and fashionable to use, the CHJGD UltraCompact will keep you charged on-the-go.
