Stay Powered Up on the Go This Prime Day With This $18 USB-C Power Bank

While it’s true that Amazon’s October Prime Day doesn’t really get into gear until Oct. 8, you don’t necessarily have to wait that long to start saving. The early deals have already started to flow and that means now is the time to start paying attention. We’ve been doing just that, and we just had to share this high-capacity power bank deal before it comes to an end. Amazon has slashed the price of the Zolo Power Bank 10,000mAh portable charger when you enter the discount code ANKER1688 at checkout, and you don’t have to be a Prime member, either.

This 10,000mAh 30-watt portable charger with a built-in USB-C cable is just the friend you need to keep you company. Since the cord is already there, you won’t have to worry about forgetting it as you pack your backpack to get outdoors. Being USB-C enabled, it’s great for juicing up smartphones, tablets, earbuds and other devices that might need a quick boost. You can even charge three gadgets at the same time thanks to the cord and built-in USB-A and USB-C ports.

Even if you aren’t traveling off-grid, a portable power bank can really be helpful for day-to-day life. Sadly, not all places have accessible wall outlets for charging devices. You don’t want to go to a coffee shop and find yourself with a low battery because you don’t have an alternative power source. A power bank can also come in handy if you live in an area with frequent power outages or if you just want to be prepared for an emergency.
