Anker just made the 2 best fully cordless portable chargers — and they're actually affordable

There are so many portable chargers out there that most folks already own one. The downside to such an oversaturated market, though, is that there are lots of sub-par options out there and not many quality picks with thoughtful designs and, best of all, fast-charging capabilities.

Anker managed to cover all bases with its two new and completely cordless portable chargers. Fully eliminating the need for cords or cables to connect to your phone, these devices have a built-in lightning connector and USB-C connector, respectively, making them compatible with iPhone and Android.

Both releases are also MFi certified, meaning they were made exclusively for Apple and Android devices, so you won’t see that “accessory not supported” error message pop up on your device.

The Anker Portable Charger with Built-In Lightning Connector is exclusively compatible with iPhone models (iPhone 12 series and newer) as well as the iPad Mini 5, the iPad (2020 and 2021 releases) and all AirPods and AirPods Pro models.

Most portable chargers require a cable to connect to your phone or tablet, but these two new releases from Anker don’t need any additional accessories or cords to work.

Instead, they have built-in connectors that make it easy to charge your devices without having to carry anything extra.

This cordless portable charger is the one to buy if you have one of the latest iPhone models and are an overall Apple device lover.

The Anker Nano Power Bank With Built-In Foldable USB-C Connector is compatible with the iPad Pro and iPad Air series, the Samsung S22 and S23 smartphone series, the Samsung Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra series, the Huawei Mate and P Series, all with the built-in USB-C connector.

To use this particular cordless portable charger with the iPhone 12, 13 and 14 series, iPad 9th Generation and all AirPods models, you’ll need to use a USB-C to lightning cable or simply purchase the Anker Portable Charger with Built-In Lightning Connector instead.

These two completely cordless portable chargers are perfect for traveling and commuting as they take up very little space. Simply pop them in your pocket or your bag, and you’re good to go — no cables necessary.

Shoppers also love that both have fast-charging technology that will let you power your device much faster than using a standard cable or power bank.

Right now, the Anker Portable Charger with Built-In Lightning Connector is on sale on Amazon for just $22.49, and the Anker Nano Power Bank With Built-In Foldable USB-C Connector is available for $30.

Both portable chargers are also available on Anker: Lightning Connector Option and USB-C Connector Option.
