Totally agree with the point about car chargers being better for driving, but for when ur actually on foot, a magnetic pack is a total game changer. Ngl, if ur getting the 17 Air, you probably want to keep that slim feel without a big brick in ur pocket. I’ve been using the UGREEN Magnetic Wireless Power Bank 5000mAh lately and it’s honestly perfect for daily stuff. It's *super* thin and fits the budget perfectly. Tbh, 10,000mAh is sometimes overkill and just adds a ton of weight you don't really need for a normal day. Quick tip: look for one with a built-in kickstand. It makes charging while watching stuff way easier, and iirc most of them are well under $50 now. It definitely beats fumbling with cables while ur out and about.

Been using Anker power banks for years, but honestly, the newer ones around $50 aren't as good as expected. Had issues with longevity. I'd suggest looking into older Anker models if you can find them used – they're built like tanks. Or, maybe consider a different brand altogether; unfortunately, my recent experience wasn't great.

Consider charging wattage. Anker Nano's 30W PD works well; no complaints, safe charging.

Anker's decent. But honestly, older banks work fine! I'd snag a used 10000mAh for cheap.

Safety first: Anker's decent. Watch for overheating, especially in cars. Read reviews carefully!

Arizona heat kills batteries. Anker's decent, but needs shade. 10000mAh minimum.

Anker's great, but overhyped IMO. RAVPower's often cheaper for similar mAh, around $30.

Skip power banks. I've soldered a 10W Qi charger into my '08 Civic. Happy, no complaints.

Anker's last. Over the years, I've found 10,000mAh lasts longest for daily iPhone use.

Skip the power bank, honestly. Performance hit from charging while running CarPlay isn't worth it. Had issues with overheating and lag. Instead, upgrade your car charger to a high-amp USB-C PD. Anker's PowerDrive PD+ 2 does the job for around $30 and keeps the phone cool. Better driving experience overall.
