Moola Monday: Powerbanks That Won’t Break the Bank

This week for Moola Monday, I thought I’d check around the office for what everyone might need before I started drafting this article.

Funnily enough, wireless chargers were the thing that came up.

After scouring the web for sales and finding none, I thought I’d step back and consider the futuristic capabilities of the chargers I was looking for. I settled on some good old power banks, because portable power is something we can never have enough of.

So, in hopes of finding a little portable juice for my office colleagues, and perhaps a few of you out there, here are a couple of power banks on sale right now.

Belkin 10000mAh Portable Power Bank
Price:
R320, marked down from R599

Starting off, we’ve got this Belkin 10000mAh power bank. Sure, it’s nothing fancy, but if you’re looking for something slim to keep your devices juiced up through a long road trip or hike, then this is something you should check out.

It offers 2x USB-A ports and 1 USB-C port for a decent 15W charge. With only 10000mAh in the bank, you won’t get too many charges out of it, but it’s just enough to get you through the day.

Price:
R943, marked down from R1,389

If you need something with a little more heft, then you may wanna check out this Winx Go Far 50000mAh bank. It’s a lot bulkier than the Belkin power bank, but you get a lot more out of this one.

With more than double the mAh, you’ll certainly be able to keep all your devices juiced up for days to come. It also supports three different input methods, ranging from Micro USB to USB-C, and features four output ports: two USB-C and two USB-A. You can even squeeze more power out of the ports, up to 22.5W of power, meaning your devices will charge up even faster.

If you’re willing to sacrifice on the output power, you can also charge up to four devices at once.

Samsung 45W PD 20000mAh Powerbank
Price:
R799, marked down from R999
Get it here

If speed is more your thing, then you may want to grab yourself this Samsung power bank with 45W of output power.

With that much power coming out of your power bank, you’ll be up from zero to hero in no time. The Samsung bank also comes with 20,000mAh of battery capacity, giving you around four extra charges for your mobile device.

With three USB-C output ports, you can also charge up to three different devices, but your old USB-A to USB-C cables won’t be of any use here.

This bank is a great mixture of speed and capacity, and while on sale, it is the perfect time to get it.

Short. Simple. Powerful.

That’s how this article goes, and it’s how your portable charging experience can be if you pick up one of these devices, too.
