If the portability of your external battery is just as important as its capacity, few chargers come close to the Aukey. Perhaps its best qualities for your EDC are its razor-thin profile, barely-there weight, and matte finish. That combination results in a charger you’d actually slip into your pocket, unlike most batteries these days that get tossed into bags. Its matte finish enclosure, measuring in at a half-inch thickness and a weight just shy of 3 oz, not only staves off unsightly fingerprints, but also makes retrieval from your pocket effortlessly smooth. At 3600mAh, it can charge an iPhone 6 almost twice over at 1.5A using a Lightning cable. The same cable can actually be used to charge the Aukey itself, thanks to its one-of-a-kind Lightning Input port. Juice up the power-hungry devices in your carry for a steal while the Aukey is massively discounted, at under $16 for the Lightning version, and $13 for microUSB varieties.
