One of the essentials in any bag these days is a battery pack for your smartphone, whether that’s an iPhone or an Android phone. But have you ever forgotten to charge your battery pack because it needs a cable? Thankfully, Anker has a fantastic external battery pack that you can plug directly into a wall outlet, and it has its own integrated cable for charging other devices.

For Cyber Week, Amazon has the Anker Nano 3-in-1 Portable 10,000mAh Power Bank for just $36, 20% off the normal $45 price. I have one of these, and it’s an everyday essential in my bags for charging my iPhone 16 Pro.

Though this is a 10,000mAh battery pack, it’s actually very small and compact. It can easily be tossed in any bag without an issue, and it’s not too heavy at just over 8 ounces.

But it’s not just the size that sets this battery pack apart from others; it’s the conveniences that it offers. For one, it has a built-in foldable plug that you can plug directly into a wall outlet to charge it up. That means no extra cable to worry about or the need for a power adapter to top it off. Just unfold the plug, stick it into the outlet, and let it charge.

The other cool thing about this battery pack is that it has its own integrated USB-C cable, so you can charge your Android phone or iPhone without carrying around a cable. What about another device? No problem! The Anker Nano also has a USB-C port to plug a cable into and charge another device.

Alternatively, you can charge the power bank this way, but the foldable plug is more convenient. It has 30W two-way fast charging, so you can get a 50% charge on an iPhone 16 Pro in about 25 minutes. The Anker Nano battery pack has a digital display that shows you how much power is left.

Anker offers this battery pack in multiple colors to suit your preferences. I carry this battery pack with me pretty much every time I step out of the house. Whether I’m going to Disneyland for an entire day or just doing some errands for a few hours, the Anker Nano 3-in-1 Portable 10,000mAh battery pack means I never have to worry about running out of power. When I need to charge it up, I just plug it directly into the outlet, no fuss.
