Belkin BoostCharge Power Bank 10K w/ Integrated Cable lets users charge their iPhone or other device without needing to worry about a separate USB-C cable. And it can juice up two devices at once.

Those who need more power can turn to Belkin’s BoostCharge Pro 3-Port Laptop Power Bank 20K.

No wall sockets needed

Wall chargers certainly have an important role, but they aren’t much use when there are no power sockets around. An external battery is always ready to give your iPhone, Mac or iPad some juice, though.

The designs for these have to balance between capacity and bulk. While a notebook user probably needs one of hefty size, handset users can get by with something much more svelte. Hence the two BoostCharge power banks that Belk just unveiled.

Those looking for an external battery that fits easily in a purse can turn to Belkin’s BoostCharge Power Bank 10K w/ Integrated Cable. Its standout features are right there in the name: it holds 10,000mAh of power, and includes a built-in USB-C cable.

It can put out 20W. And its USB-C port can charge devices at 20W, too. With both in use, though, the total is 15W. The accessory supports pass-through charging.

The product measures 4.0 inches by 2.5 inches by 0.9 in. and 0.5 pounds. It comes in black, white, blue or pink.

Belkin BoostCharge Power Bank 10K w/ Integrated Cable costs $39.99. It’s scheduled for release at some point this autumn.

Computers that draw more power need bigger power banks. That’s where the BoostCharge Pro 3-Port Laptop Power Bank 20K calmed in. It holds 20,000mAh, and can put out up to 65W through a single USB-C port. And there’s a second USB-C port plus a USB-A one. All three can be used at one,

A color digital display shows battery status to easily monitor the remaining charge and manage power going to each device. The dimensions are 5.2 inches by 3.4 inches by 1 inch. It comes with a USB-C charging cable.

Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-Port Laptop Power Bank 20K sells for $89.99.
