I bought this power bank for my first trip to Europe — now its 50% off in Amazons Big Spring Sale

SAVE $13.05: The Anker Zolo power bank is down to just $12.94 at Amazon in the Big Spring Sale. That's 50% off its usual $25.99 price tag and matches its best price ever. It comes in four different colors, all of which are on sale.

Over the past few years, my travel itinerary has grown exponentially. Between living about 11 hours away from family and dating a touring musician, I'm away almost as much as I'm home. And as any wanderer knows, one of the biggest challenges of constantly being on the go is keeping your phone charged. Whether you're using it for directions, communication, or entertainment, it's a lifeline when traveling.

Next month, I'm heading to Europe for the first time, where I will heavily rely on my phone for navigation. That's why I finally caved and bought a power bank — the Anker Zolo 10,000mAh power bank, to be specific. I'm kind of bummed, though, because now it's on sale for way cheaper.

During Amazon's Big Spring Sale (which runs through March 31), you can grab the Anker Zolo power bank (10,000mAh) for only $12.94 instead of the usual $25.99. That's 50% off and matches its best price ever. Plus, it comes in four different color options — I have the blue and it's a gorgeous pastel shade.

The Zolo power bank features a built-in USB-C cable to juice up newer phones and devices, plus USB-C and USB-A ports to plug in charging cables for other devices. That means for my iPhone 16 Pro, I don't have to worry about searching my luggage for another cable. My favorite thing about it, however, is that it's equipped with 30W two-way fast-charging. In other words: it won't take a million years to bring your device back to life like other power banks. There's also a digital display that clearly shows you the battery percentage at any given time.

It does have a little bit of weight to it, but ultimately, it shouldn't add much bulk to your carry-on. If you're looking for the best power bank for travel, I can't recommend the Zolo enough.
