Imagine you have gone on a far off trip, and your cell phone runs out of juice. You might easily get it charged at a plug point, but what if you are off to a gorgeous remote locale, where electricity is one of the rare luxuries, and people are happy without it. Then my friend, power banks are what come to your rescue. Let us list down some of the best ones so you never run out of juice, and can wiggle out of sticky charging situations.
PNY 10400 Mah Power Bank

Price: 1999. Almost always available on a 30 to 40% discount on Amazon
With a capacity of 10400 mah, this one can charge an iPhone 4 times fully (The capacity of an iphone battery is 1800 mah). This also has an inbuilt torch which is bright enough. The only con is that it is a little bulky, and it takes almost a night to charge completely. You can also try the lighter 5200 mah version, but then the power will also be cut down by half. We would suggest you go for this one.

Price: 4599. Available at hefty discounts on Amazon
If you are someone who prefers high end brands, and don’t mind shelling out money for it, this can be your choice. The issue with PNY (above) one is that there is only one output, so you can charge only one device at a time. However, the Lenovo one has two output ports, so you can charge two devices simultaneously. Plus, the fact that this one is light weight too. Still, the price puts us off.

Price: 2699. Available at hefty discounts on Amazon
This one has the capacity of 8400 mah, and also has inner protection against short circuits, overcharging etc. This one too has dual ports, and is extremely light and portable. The LED flashlight is an added feature which can be quite beneficial when you do not want to fish your phone out for light. The cells used are of Samsung, so you can be quite assured of the quality.

Price: 1425.
The usp of this one is the special circuit that enables speedy charging. This has got quite happy reviews from the customers, and many recommendations. Light in weight, it is quite portable, and the small size enables this to fit anywhere without increasing the bulk. The 10400 mah capacity gives you enough juice to charge your androids 3 times, and iPhone 4 times. The price too is reasonable and not something that can burn a hole in your pocket.

Like we said in case of Lenovo, if you are someone who associates high-end brands with quality, you can give this one a try. Though this is a tad on the higher end as far as price is concerned, for obvious reasons, this is a trusted brand’s product which you can certainly buy and be assured that you will get the best.
