Amazon has cut the price of the Bextoo 27,000mAh Power Bank to £16.94, down from £19.99, in a limited-time deal. The gadget, which has earned an average rating of 4.4 out of five stars from more than 6,500 reviews, has been described as a "definite must-have" for travelling.
Features and capacity
According to the brand, the high-capacity power bank can charge a phone four to five times and boost it by over 60% within half an hour. It is equipped with three ports, making it compatible with "almost all" smart and USB-powered devices, and can charge three devices simultaneously. An LED display shows the remaining power, eliminating guesswork.
Customer feedback
One Amazon shopper praised: "Great item, handy size to fit in small bags. Came in really handy on holiday to charge multiple phones. Great value for money." Another said: "Perfect for me travelling on business and for my kids when away for a weekend. One charge lasts the whole weekend, and the display telling you what you have left in the battery is a great feature." A third reviewer wrote: "These are amazing. A definite must-have for anyone travelling. I have one and have bought three as gifts for family."
New airline rules for power banks
Anyone planning to fly abroad should be aware of new rules from the Civil Aviation Authority, announced in March 2025. Power banks must be packed in carry-on luggage, not in checked baggage, and should not be recharged or used to charge other devices while on board the plane.
Alternatives and drawbacks
For those seeking alternatives, the Biolite Charge 20, available from Mountain Warehouse for £44.99, was praised by Outdoors Magic for its compact size and durability. The NITECORE Carbo 10,000 Power Bank, priced at £95.95 at Decathlon, was named top choice by Pack Hacker for its lightweight design. Some customers noted the Bextoo Power Bank is bulky and heavy, with one reviewer saying it "won't fit in any pocket." However, another countered: "It is big and heavy, but has huge battery capacity. Easily keeps my iPhone 7 charged all weekend."
