This model is my go-to when I’m in traveling the States. And right now it’s almost half off.

Whenever I travel in the U.S., the Anker PowerCore Fusion is in my bag. It’s the ultimate USB charger for travelers: a combined wall charger and portable battery pack. Not only does it charge two devices over USB and USB-C while you sleep, but it’s also juicing its own 5,000mAh battery pack, so you’ll have all the power you need the next day when you’re on the go.

The Fusion’s AC outlet prongs fold into its body when not in use, leaving you with a square battery pack with USB and USB-C ports as well as enough power for at least a full phone or tablet charge. (The USB-C port charges my iPhone 11 in less than two hours and Husband’s iPad Pro in a little more than three hours.)

The Fusion is also available with two standard USB ports in black, white, or red.

(The red is a good choice if you want something that stands out in a hotel room when you’re doing that last did-I-forget-anything sweep. Not that I *cough* know anything about forgetting electronics in hotel rooms.)

The Fusion can also solve the all-too-common problem of inconveniently-placed power outlets. When I’m in an Airbnb with the closest power outlet to the bed on the other side of the room, I plug my Fusion into that outlet during the day, then unplug it and set it on the nightstand to charge my phone. That way, my phone is handy if I need it during the night and all charged up by the morning.

I paid $50 for my Fusion with USB and USB-C ports. Right now it’s on sale for $30. (The dual USB models cost $30-$40, depending on color.) Well worth it for this charger-portable power combo.

Twist’s Take: Cut down on electronic clutter in your travel bag with the Anker PowerCore Fusion 2-in-1 wall charger and battery pack.
