With thousands of devices, gadgets, and presents on sale, Black Friday shopping isn’t for the weak. It might be challenging to determine which bargains are truly worthwhile. NBC Select reporter Harry Rabinowitz has good news: one of our favorite portable chargers ever is on sale and is among the greatest tech investments you can make.
Every Anker offer I suggest here has been located, examined, and reviewed by me. The live list, which I’m regularly updating during Black Friday to reflect the most recent deals, was finalized in collaboration with NBC Select reporters.
Anker 523 PowerCore Slim 10K

11,705 reviews with an average rating of 4.4 stars on Amazon
“I’ve traveled to four countries with this portable charger, and it has prevented me from having a dead phone on numerous hikes, long bike rides, and airports,” Rabinowitz adds. It fits neatly into a backpack, purse, or jacket pocket and is roughly the same size as my iPhone 15 Pro. I adore that it can charge any tiny gadget with almost any cable I own because it has both a USB-A and a USB-C connector. (The box also contains both kinds of cable.)
Although it’s not a more recent model for Anker, Rabinowitz claims that it’s adaptable because it works with Google Pixels, Samsung phones, iPhones, and iPads. According to Anker, it also features overcharge prevention and a fireproof exterior.

Why trust NBC Select?
I have years of experience covering sales and bargains as a commerce editor for NBC Select. I checked that this Anker offer was at least 20% off and had a high rating—at least 4.0 stars on average—based on hundreds of reviews in order to assess its quality. To make sure it’s at its lowest price in at least three months, I also checked it using price monitors like CamelCamelCamel.
