Under a Tenner for 20,000mAh. Really.

Look, at £8.99 you are not buying a premium Anker. You know that, I know that. But this little power bank has been generating proper heat on HotUKDeals, and sometimes the crowd knows something worth paying attention to.

The headline specs are genuinely decent for the price: 20000mAh capacity, PD3.0 and QC4.0 support up to 22.5W, a USB-C port rated at 20W, and an LCD screen to tell you how much juice is left. That last bit matters more than people realise. Nothing worse than grabbing your power bank on the way out the door and discovering it is at 12%.

Who This Is Actually For

This is a bag-drawer charger. The one that lives at the bottom of a rucksack, comes out at music festivals, long coach trips, airport delays. You are not using this as your daily carry next to a nice phone. You are using it when your mate's phone is about to die and you look like a hero.

Personally, I would not rely on it as the sole charger for an expensive device. The fast charging claims at this price point deserve a healthy bit of scepticism. Real-world wattage output on budget units often falls short of the box. Worth keeping in mind.

The Honest Reservation

No brand name is a yellow flag. Not a dealbreaker at this price, but you are buying blind on build quality and longevity. If it lasts a year of occasional use, brilliant. If it swells after six months, less so.

For under a tenner though? The risk-reward is hard to argue with. Stock is moving fast for a reason.
