Photo:PeopleAs holiday travel begins, the necessities everyone needs on hand is their phone,a good pair of wireless headphones, and a reliable portable charger to power them up.And our favorite power bank, theIniu Portable Charger Power Bank, is on sale ahead of Black Friday. We recentlytested it against nine other portable chargers, comparing their charging speeds and how portable they really were, and it came out on top. Right now, you can stack a coupon on top of its Amazon deal to grab it with double discounts.Iniu Portable Charger Power Bank, $17 with couponPeople / Denise Domlesky$21$17 at AmazonThere are many options out there, but the Iniu power bank option is our best overall pick for good reason: During testing, this device charged two smartphones in less than an hour and still had battery life left over.Measuring roughly the same size as a smartphone, the charger easily fits in atravel purse, and its rubbery finish helps it to resist those pesky scuffs. And just for fun, it comes in four colors! So whether you prefer red, orange, blue or black, there’s an option for you.And speaking of its design,the paw print that appears on each model— in addition to being adorable — lights up to indicate how much charge is left. As an added feature, there’s also a built-in flashlight.The one downside we found when testing this charger was that it does take around four hours to recharge once its battery has drained. But its ability to charge up multiple devices at such a fast speed still makes it a clear winner.Pick up theIniu Portable Charger Power Bankwhile it’s on sale before Black Friday, and check out more deals on handy tech accessories below.Shop More Portable Tech DealsBolabutty Portable Bluetooth Speaker, $20 with PrimeAmazon$27$26 at AmazonJBL Vibe BeamAmazon$50$25 at Amazon3 in 1 Foldable Charging Station, $20 with PrimeAmazon$29$20 at AmazonApple PencilAmazon$79$69 at Amazon
