Portability and speed don’t always go hand in hand with power banks, but Anker’s latest Nano model proves otherwise. Weighing in at just $46, the device combines a 10,000mAh capacity with 45W fast-charging output and a retractable USB-C cable—all in a design small enough to slip into a pocket or backpack.
The 10,000mAh battery is modest by today’s standards but delivers enough juice for two full smartphone charges (or more for smaller devices). For a day out, that’s ample—especially when paired with the 45W output, which cuts charging times significantly compared to standard 18W or 20W banks. No more waiting around while your phone trickles to 100%.

What sets this model apart is the retractable USB-C cable. Most power banks require users to carry a separate cable, but here, the cord retracts neatly into the device itself—eliminating bulk while keeping connectivity ready. The tradeoff? A single USB-A port for secondary devices means charging two phones simultaneously isn’t possible without an adapter.
At $46, this power bank undercuts competitors with similar specs, making it ideal for students, commuters, or anyone who needs reliable charging on the go. For those who prefer more capacity, Anker’s larger models start at $40, while a $17 charger rounds out the brand’s budget-friendly lineup.
