Wired Highlights Discounts on Popular Power Banks, From MagSafe Models to Laptop Chargers
Technology publication Wired listed discounts on several of its top-tested portable chargers on October 19, 2026. The roundup covers models for phones, Apple Watch and laptops.
US technology publication Wired published a shopping roundup on October 19 pointing to several portable batteries, known as power banks, that are currently sold at reduced prices. The outlet describes the models as its top picks, based on testing by its product review team.
Which models are on sale
Five products are mentioned. The Shargeek 170 from Sharge has a translucent body, a 24,000 mAh capacity, a smart display and Power Delivery support, which lets it fast-charge both phones and laptops. It can charge up to three devices at once.
Anker has two entries. The MagGo Power Bank (10K) offers Qi2 and MagSafe wireless charging and can also be used in wired mode with the included USB-C cable; it has a kickstand for propping up a phone. According to the reviewer, it falls short of two full charges for most smartphones. The other Anker model is designed to recharge an Apple Watch, and Wired says it can do so eight or nine times. An attached USB-C cable also lets it top up a phone.
The Baseus Picogo Qi2 25W is a wireless charger with a built-in USB-C cable. It delivers 25 W wirelessly and 45 W in wired mode, and supports up to three devices at once.
The Ecoflow Rapid Pro Power Bank is Wired's favorite for laptops. It outputs up to 300 W and has a 27,650 mAh capacity, a retractable built-in cable and a smart display. The power bank itself recharges in about an hour via USB-C, or from empty to 80 percent in 20 minutes with its charging dock. Discounts apply to both the docking version (Rapid Pro X) and the non-docking version (Rapid Pro).
