I have a portable charger that works well once it is charged, but it literally takes days to get to full charge. Do you have any recommendations? We have iPhone 12’s and use a lightning cable.

Are you looking for something you can get multiple charges from or just a single charge? I have this for a single charge. They may have other connection styles. iWALK LinkPod Portable Charger, PD USB C Power Bank [2023 Upgrade] Small Fast Charging Docking Battery with LED Display Compatible with Samsung S23 S22,S20,S10,Note 20/10,LG,Android Phones, Purple a.co/d/dtypjSFMy son has a large power bank, size of his phone that he can get multiple charges. I'll have to ask him about it when he gets home. |

I bought that and immediately returned it. I felt the connection was very weak, bc the bottom of the phone did not really rest or stablize on the charger. I was worried how do you keep it from breaking off in the phone if you toss that charger (connected to the phone) in your purse? |

I have not had any issues but I understand your concern as it is not a stable physical connection. It does charge relatively fast so I don't keep it on for long. Not needing a cable is a huge difference for me and worth the slight inconvenience of it being unstable. I've used it while traveling and at home. Great for the end of the day when I'm heading out to a meeting and only have 10% left. |

Anker is the best brand

Thanks, everyone. Preferably it would be able to charge more than one device. I was looking at Anker so that is good to know that they are worth the price.

I like this one I've purchased it twice and I think I'm going to get a third one. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K702S66/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 It's a plug in charger while at home so it stays plugged in unless you are taking it out of the house. I can get about two charges for my phone off of it while camping. The plug folds in so it's not sticking out while in your purse. I purchased the first one December 2018 and the second June 2019 so they've lasted 4 years of nearly constant use. |

This one has usb-c, micro usb and lightening plugs. I got it in case of a power outage, I charged it and checked months later and it was still charged. www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B09KLZLXPY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1Are you looking for something you can get multiple charges from or just a single charge?

I do too. My phone battery is awful (I've had my phone long enough that it's hard to find cases for it), and those are what I use. When I was just traveling I would use one while walking 40K+ steps a day touring and using the phone constantly for mapping, and the charger would last long enough that I could use it 2-3 days to constantly recharge. I don't know exactly how long it takes to recharge, but I plug it in before bed and it's charged when I get up. |
