Best portable power bank for around £20

[Mac2019]

Looking for a slightly bigger capacity charger than my current Anker 5200mAh, and want to spend around the £20-25 mark.

Any tips?

Bought one of these back in 2017. Still going strong. It’s been all over the place with me.

I’d stick with Anker. Great quality items.

Went with a big Anker one and very pleased.

On a related note I have 2 of the following which are a couple of years old now and whilst charging just now one of them got incredibly hot and only offered 37% charge before becoming empty (it was charged fully last night but only reached 3 blue lights). My questions are:
- could using a power bank that gets incredibly hot cause damage to my phone battery?
- given that it offered 37% charge from 'full', am I safe to say that this one has served its purpose and is now ready for the bin?
- what sort of life should such a power bank have?

You can't go wrong with Anker products, especially their power banks.
