It's starting to (finally) feel a lot like spring for many of us, which means it might be time for us to come out of our shells and partake in some much-needed travel. This also means that now is a good time to make sure you have the necessary accessories for keeping your phone and other gadgets juiced while on the go. This is a segment of the tech industry that is constantly innovating and evolving, often leading to smaller, more powerful chargers that shed weight while upping the wattage. Then there are power stations like Anker's recently announced 757 Powerhouse, which are less about slimming down and more about going big. Thankfully, many of these chargers and power banks frequently go on sale and retail for far less than the MSRP. So, for this rendition of our midweek newsletter, we've rounded up a selection of sales going on right now that are sure to fit many people's charging needs, both home and abroad. |

One of the biggest and baddest portable chargers you can buy is the Zendure SuperTank Pro. The power bank packs a 26,800mAh battery into a refined build that's capable of charging up to four devices via USB-C, including a laptop with up to 100W output. The kicker here is that it has an OLED screen that is designed to show how fast each device is charging and keep you in the know regarding how long the SuperTank will take to fully recharge. Also, it's just kind of adorable. Zendure's SuperTank Pro normally costs $229.99, but you can currently find it on sale at Amazon for $179.99 when you click the on-page $50 coupon. The only time this charger retailed for less was when it was featured on Kickstarter, where the early birds could get it for a cool $149. That said, an additional $30 is a fair premium for not having to get stuck in crowdfunding purgatory, and we now know how good this power bank is after having tested it. Read our review. |

Save on car chargers from Hori and Anker, if you want to charge a Nintendo Switch or add Bluetooth to your car |
A portable power bank may be one of your most vital assets, but the unsung hero of a roadtrip or any journey that requires driving is a car charger. Luckily, we've found two intriguing deals worth considering. If you just need a basic charger that plugs into the car's auxiliary power outlet, Hori's apt-titled Car Charger pairs perfectly with anyone who intends to bring their Nintendo Switch or Switch Lite on a long journey. Since it's USB-C compatible and features a lengthy, six-foot cable, it's also helpful for charging an Android phone and devices located in the rear seats of your car. Right now, the Hori charger is on sale at Walmart for just $9.88, more than 50 percent off the full retail price. Is your car a little older and lacking a convenient way to take calls and tunes on the road with ease? Anker's Roav may be the perfect solution, as it combines a car charger and Bluetooth FM transmitter into one. Dial in an available FM station on your radio (remember those?) and the Roav will keep your phone charged while providing a little entertainment and accessibility upgrade to the most basic of head units. If that sounds appealing, Amazon is currently selling the Anker Roav for $23.99, which is about 20 percent off. |

Hori's Car Charger for the Nintendo Switch features a built-in, six-foot wire. It's aimed at charging the Switch, but can juice other USB-C devices as well. | |

| $24 $30 20% off Prices taken at time of publishing. |
Anker's Roav functions as both a car charger and a Bluetooth FM transmitter, which allows you to connect your smartphone to older cars that lack native support. It also features both USB-A and USB-C ports. |

Alright, so all the aforementioned charging accessories are helpful when you're on the go, but what about when you want to level up your setup at home? We got you covered there, too, because Anker's 3-in-1 wireless charging station is currently available as a Lightning Deal at Amazon, which drops the price to $25.49 ($14.50 off). This charger is perfect for the iPhone 12 or 13 user who also owns an Apple Watch — other than the Series 7 — and a pair of earbuds with a wireless charging case. Anker's foldable charger features two 10W, Qi-compatible coils, one on the cradle for your smartphone and one on the surface for a resting pair of AirPods or another set of earbuds in their charging case. The ring-like spot is open for attaching the proprietary charger that comes with an Apple Watch. Anker also includes a USB-C cable and wall plug in the box, which are often omitted from wireless charging stations like these, making it an even better value. |

More great deals to keep you charged - If Zendure's behemoth charger sounds appealing but you're on a tighter budget, you can pick up Insignia's 80W, 26,800mAh power bank for just $39.99 ($30 off) at eBay. It can't charge as many devices as the SuperTank Pro and offers less output (65W for the USB-C port and 15W for each of the two USB-A ports), but it gets the job done for far less.
- Need a tiny power bank that isn't anemic on charging? I must profess my love for Ainope's 10,000mAh portable charger, which is just $29.74 (about $7 off) at Amazon right now. I personally use this battery all the time, namely because its single USB-C port and two USB-A ports are powerful enough and fast enough to top off most phones in a short time and still have juice left over.
- For those who are could use an extra charger, RavPower is currently offering a two-pack of 20W USB-C wall chargers for just $9 ($19 off) when you use promo code DNLP50 at checkout.
- Otterbox is currently offering a 20-percent discount if you bundle a qualifying phone case with a screen protector and charger.
- Uni's 10-foot, 100W USB-C cable is great if you need a lengthier laptop cable that still carries a charge. The cable is just $10.99 at Amazon right now when you clip the on-page coupon for $3, which takes $9 off the cable's usual asking price.
- If you have an Xbox console, Controller Gear's Universal Xbox Charging Stand is on sale for just $32.99 (about $47 off) at Woot. The deal includes a rechargeable battery, a replacement cover, and a charging stand for Xbox One and Series X / S controllers.
