No. 10: Black Fox BMP 207
- Capacity: 20 800 mAh;
- Maximum current: 2.1 A;
- Dimensions: 152 x 72 x 22 mm.
BMP 207 is a product of the domestic company WELLTIM, which has been developing accessories for mobile devices for several years.

BMP 207 can automatically distribute the output voltage and charge several devices at once. There are two USB and one microUSB input on the accessory case. The disadvantages of a power bank can be attributed to a rather long time of full charging of batteries (only about 20 hours), which does not prevent the BMP 207 from being classified as the best budget high-capacity power banks.
No. 9: IconBIT FTB10400DX
- Capacity: 10 400 mAh;
- Maximum current: 2.1 A;
- Dimensions: 93 x 78 x 22 mm.

Its design also deserves praise, all wired interfaces (1x microUSB and 2x USB) are located on the side end of a neat white bar with rounded edges.
The incoming current of IconBIT FTB10400DX is fixed at 0.95 A, so it takes about 11 hours to fully charge the nutrients from the network.

No. 8: ASUS ZenPower 10050
- Capacity: 10 050 mAh;
- Maximum current: 2.4 A;
- Dimensions: 90.5 x 59 x 22 mm.
The length and width of the ZenPower 10050 are comparable to a credit card, even mentioned on the battery packaging. The main body material is aluminum, plastic is present only on the side ends. One of them housed two connectors - microUSB and USB with an output current of 2.4 amperes. Four LEDs are located to the right to display the current charge. By the way, due to the relatively high incoming voltage (5 V / 2 A), charging the ZenPower 10050 will only take 6 hours.
The universal power bank supports overcurrent protection, automatically regulates the output voltage and eliminates short circuits. Perhaps the only drawback of the ZenPower 10050 is the limited number of ports - you cannot charge two devices at once from the battery.
No. 7: TP-LINK TL-PB10400
- Capacity: 10 400 mAh;
- Maximum current: 2 A;
- Dimensions: 88.5 x 44.3 x 44.3 mm.

USB ports are marked with output current (2A and 1A), so be careful when connecting devices.

The model has a standard set of standards for protection against overheating, power surges and short circuits.
No. 6: Samsung EB-P3000
- Capacity: 10,000 mAh;
- Maximum current: 1.5 A;
- Dimensions: 148 x 71 x 15 mm.
The power bank is made in blue, the thickness of its body is noticeably lower than that of competitors - the device easily fits in your jeans pocket and fits perfectly in your hand. The tactile feel of the EB-P3000 is more like a rather large smartphone without a screen.
At first glance at the battery, you can immediately determine its main drawback - just one USB port. Yes, and its output current leaves much to be desired, at 1.5 A, charging an average 3000 mAh battery will take more than three and a half hours. But the power bank itself has an input current of 2 A and is charged from the network in about five hours. On the side end next to the connectors there are several LED indicators to display the current progress of recharging.

- Maximum current: 3 A;
- Dimensions: 141 x 86 x 17 mm.
The XP17000 has a very interesting distinguishing feature - the familiar power button has been replaced with a touch strip. Activating a power bank is more like unlocking a smartphone; to get started, just swipe right on the touch surface. The connectors for recharging external devices are placed on the end of the battery, here you can find a rather rich set: two full-sized USB ports and two microUSB connectors.
The output current of the XP17000 reaches three amperes, so the charging speed of smartphones is practically no different from the speed of charging them from the network. The charging rate of the power bank itself was also pleased, up to 100% of the batteries were filled in about 10 hours.
No. 3: Xiaomi Mi Power Bank Pro
- Capacity: 10,000 mAh;
- Maximum current: 2 A;
- Dimensions: 128.5 x 75 x 12.58 mm.
The appearance of the Pro power bank in the 10,000 mAh version is practically no different from the rest of Xiaomi portable batteries. The main part of the Power Bank Pro case is made of anodized aluminum, the side inserts are made of plastic.
Compared with previous models of external batteries, the novelty has become a little thinner and narrower. For more convenient wearing of a paverbank, you can buy leather on Aliexpress, it will also protect the device from light strokes.

On the inside of its cover there are several small pockets for storing notes and credit cards.
The case of the accessory itself is made of aluminum with a pleasant to the touch grinding. At first glance, you might even think that this is a solar external battery with a mirror surface. Wired interfaces (2x USB, 1x microUSB) are located on the upper end. There is also a battery activation key and one LED indicator that notifies you of the remaining charge with your color. It takes about 7 hours to fully charge the NEO MS100 from zero to 100%.
No. 1: Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 2 10000
- Capacity: 10,000 mAh;
- Maximum current: 2.4 A;
- Dimensions: 130 x 71 x 13 mm.
Mi Power Bank 2 is, in fact, a cheaper version of the mentioned Xiaomi Mi Power Bank Pro. The first place in the rating went to the version with a capacity of 10,000 mAh, there is also an option for sale at 20,000 mAh, it is already intended not only for smartphones, but also for laptops and other more “gluttonous” devices.
Mi Power Bank 2 10000 is much thinner than its brother and comes in two colors: black or silver. By technical specifications, Mi Power Bank 2 is almost identical to the Pro version, the only difference between them lies in the USB-C interface, which is equipped with most top-end smartphones. The maximum output current is set at 2.4 A, which is quite enough for any mobile devices.
Power Bank or an external battery is a very useful portable device in the modern world. Today, most people are owners of various wearable equipment, as an attribute of their daily or business life. And if one of them, whether it’s a smartphone, tablet or media player, is on the verge of discharging, then you can recharge your device using the power bank’a.
Due to the growing consumer interest and need, we decided to make this top of the 10 best external batteries currently available on the world market, while taking into account criteria such as energy intensity, cost, compactness and possible additional attributes.
10th place: Ozaki O! Tool Battery D26
With all its appearance, Power bank tells us that it is primarily aimed at the younger generation and will be useful if your child is going on a tourist trip with a school group or goes somewhere else and needs to stay in touch. Especially if on the way to recharge the phone will not be possible.
The capacity of this battery is 2600 mAh, which will be enough for one full charge of the mid-budget smartphone or a couple of cycles for a mobile phone easier. So you should pay attention to the battery of the latter, if your choice fell on this gadget.
In addition to a fancy design that resembles a robot, this model has five light indicators that display the level of remaining charge.
For all its attractiveness and practicality in the applied field, this device still has its only and, perhaps, the most important drawback for the consumer. And it is his cost, which on average can be 1,170 rublesthat definitely exceeds its characteristics.
9th place: Sony CP-V5
Our list could not do without SONY, a company that occupies high positions in the markets of various equipment. And - this is their portable battery, which will definitely appeal to many, primarily due to the reputation of the quality of the company's products.
The gadget is made in a practical simple design using plastic as a material for the case. In addition to the meek appearance, the device is also very compact and convenient to use even on the go.
Total battery capacity is 5000 mAh. In general, today, such external batteries are the optimal minimum for everyday use. However, if you have more than one gadget that needs to be maintained, then this model may not satisfy all your requirements.
Perhaps the only, but not the biggest drawback is the maximum current of this power bank’s at 1.5 A. Knowledgeable people will understand that the disadvantage is that smartphones that support fast charging technology will be powered by this battery longer than usual.
Well, if you collect all the pros and cons of this device and wrap them in a practical form and a well-known brand, we get the average cost from 1 990 rubles to date.
8th place: KS-IS KS-200
You are the owner of a budget smartphone and you need a practical and inexpensive power bank that will allow you to stay in touch at the right time? Then you should be interested in - a compact external battery with a very attractive price tag.
Since we’ve started talking about the price, it’s worth noting that the average market value of this gadget is only 400 rubles. Agree, quite inexpensive for such a useful thing.
However, it could not do without price-quality ratio, or rather price-capacity, since the last indicator is total 2200 mAh. Yes, a little, but still quite enough if you read the first paragraph or look after it for your child. That's right, this model is practical for devices with a small battery capacity, and even quite affordable.
Summing up, it can be noted that this external battery has no shortcomings for its cost and is really worthy of attention.
7th place: KS-IS KS-239
Continuing the line of the same manufacturer, I want to pay attention to this battery. And he deserved it by many of our main criteria.
First of all, pay attention to the design of the case. In shape it is a compact rectangle with rounded edges. Well, yes, it’s convenient, and, it seems, nothing unusual, but the case material, in this case, is metal, which is already pretty good. First of all, it perfectly affects the reliability and strength of the structure.
The second undoubted advantage of this device is its average cost in 1130 rubles. Quite a reasonable and pleasant price for a gadget with an ergonomic metal case and impressive capacity volumes.
By the way, the capacity of this battery is 10,400 mAh and is perhaps the only contradictory indicator that determines this position of the device in our list. The fact is that many users note that the capacity is slightly exaggerated and, in part, the way it is. After all, batteries with such a large supply of energy also need a part of it to work.
But in general, paying attention to this model, we can get a reliable and powerful battery at the best price.
6th place: iconBIT FTBTravel
Designed for people who like to spend their free time actively. And if you are one of them, then it may interest you, first of all, the fact that the case is made of durable plastic, which will ensure the safety and waterproofness of this gadget.
The capacity of this battery is 5000 mAh and will allow you to charge your means of communication from one to two times when fully used. And the presence of two USB ports will make it possible to charge two devices simultaneously. Such indicators are quite standard and will suit most users.
However, it was fans of outdoor activities that were noted for good reason. The thing is that this external battery is equipped with a solar panel, which allows you to additionally recharge it away from outlets. But this decision is not without contradictions, such as bad days or the banal absence of sunlight. That is why an ordinary user may not need such an addition, and this external battery took the sixth position of our list.
The average price today ranges from 2 180 rubles. It is at this cost that you can get a practical and durable portable charger with moisture protection and the ability to be nourished from sunlight.
5th place: Rombica NEO NS100
For many users, regardless of the purpose of their portable device, sometimes in addition to the main indicators, such as practicality and reliability, a pleasant appearance is also important. That is all that can offer us.
In terms of practicality, it is equipped with two USB ports and has a capacity of 10,000 mAh, which will allow you to simultaneously charge two of your devices, and a current of 2.1 A will make this process faster (provided that your gadgets support fast charging technology).
The small size of the battery and a rather thin plastic case will allow you to comfortably carry it with you wherever you go, and the presence of a special case in the kit will protect it from the undesirable consequences of active use.
This model has a different color palette for the back and looks pretty fresh and bright, contrasting with a white front panel. And the average market price does not exceed 1 890 rubles, which is quite optimal for all of the above.
4th place: Canyon CNE-CPB130
- The optimal choice for a person who actively uses his portable gadgets and is located for a long time away from a constant source of electricity.
With a total capacity of 13,000 mAh, it will allow you to charge your device up to 4 times on one use, or two devices at the same time a couple of times, thanks to two USB ports. Of course, the final results depend on the volume of rechargeable batteries, but these average indicators are very worthy of attention.
One small drawback of it, nevertheless, is a large case compared to other models. However, it, as it is, remains very portable, and this “drawback” is too small compared to all its other indicators. Especially if we take into account the last criterion considered, namely, its cost, which, on average, is 1 400 rubles.
So, if you do not need a more energy-intensive device, then you have a fairly powerful external battery, which is definitely worth the money.
3rd place: Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 2 10000
And it opens the top three of our list - an external battery from a company that has proved itself to be excellent since its appearance on the Russian market.
From the full name, it already becomes clear that we are dealing with a capacity of 10,000 mAh. And this is a very good indicator, especially when you know that the device is from Xiaomi. Also, the battery itself supports fast charging technology, which will significantly reduce the time spent on a full charge.
The compact and ergonomic case of the device is made of metal and gives it not only a premium look, but also great reliability, which is very important for this type of gadget. Among other things, this power bank received protection against overheating, overload and short circuit, which finally answers all questions about its safety.
In total, we get a reliable and safe external battery in a durable and compact case with a capacity of 10,000 mAh at an average price of 1 590 rubles. Great offer, embodying the beloved price-quality ratio.
2nd place: ASUS ZenPower 10050 mAh ABTU005
ASUS ZenPower ABTU005 - Another representative of another well-known company that appreciates quality and practicality no less than others. And their device reflects these values \u200b\u200bin full.
I immediately want to note its noticeable compactness, because despite the large capacity that is noticeable in the name of the battery, it easily fits in the palm of your hand and weighs only 215 grams with a metal case. The latter, by the way, has a pleasant and bright color palette that can suit your taste or preferences.
As noted earlier, with all its portability, this external battery has a capacity of 10,050 mAh, which will allow you to charge your smartphone up to three times on a single charge. The maximum current is 2.4 A, allowing you to charge both an external battery and other gadgets much faster.
And the average price for all this today is 1 690 rubles. Yes, it is already a little higher, as for devices of this category, but do not forget that we are talking about quality, safety and practicality.
1st place: Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 2 20,000
Naturally, getting to the first place, we were forced to compare all of the above criteria, among which were quality, energy intensity, cost, compactness and possible additional attributes, and we came to the conclusion that the first place goes to Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 2 on 20,000 mAh.
Yes, this is an updated model of the energy “monster” from Xiaomi with an incredible capacity of 20,000 mAh with which you can completely forget that your device can be discharged at the most inopportune moment.
Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging technology allows you to quickly saturate it with electricity and hit the road. And two USB ports provide simultaneous charging of several devices at once. The benefit of the energy reserve is enough for him for sure.
The case, although made of plastic, looks just as simple and practical, while remaining quite compact, even fit into clothing pockets. The average cost for today is 2 300 rubles, which although exceeds all the above prices, it fully justifies itself and the device, providing the user with a reliable and power bank’s.
