One thing that’s good about having a non-removable battery, is the fact you can use the same external battery pack for every phone you use. And if you’re like me, you get a new phone every few months, and you don’t want to buy an extended battery for each one, right? Or you might have a phone with a non-removable battery like the Google Nexus 4 and might need some extra charge from time to time when you’re not around an outlet. That’s where companies like Powerocks, Tylt, Anker, and more have come to the rescue with some very nice, and high capacity, external battery packs to charge your devices. The best part is, these all work for every device that charges with a microUSB cable. Sounds good, right?
10. Powerocks 7800mAh External Battery Pack with Dual-USB ports
Here’s a nice external battery pack from Powerocks. I actually reviewed a few of their battery packs earlier this year. All of which I was very impressed by. This one is a 7800mAh battery pack, which can charge many phones at least once and maybe a second or third time. That all depends on your phone. Like if it’s the DROID Maxx, it probably won’t charge it more than once. This one also has dual-USB ports so you can charge two devices at once. Which is pretty nifty. All this for under $50!
9. Anker Astro Slim2 4500mAh Ultra-Compact Portable External Battery Backup Charger
The Anker Astro Slim2 is one of many external battery packs that Anker has available. This one is a pretty slim and compact one that works pretty well. It’s not the largest capacity, but it’ll work to get you through the rest of your day. It works with just about every microUSB device, including Apple products, however you’ll need to supply your own cable for iPhones, iPods, and iPads.
8. PowerGen 12,000mAh External Battery Pack
Here’s a massive battery pack from PowerGen. You may not want to carry this one everywhere as it is probably pretty heavy. After all it is a 12,000mAh battery pack. Think of it as carrying about 4 of the Galaxy Note 3 batteries with you. Good thing about this is it has 3 USB ports for you to charge your phones, and tablets from. And if you have the HP Chromebook 11, you’ll be able to charge that one as well.
7. EC TECHNOLOGY 22,400mAh Portable Battery Pack
This one is actually the biggest capacity external battery pack I’ve seen. This one is a 22,400mAh battery. Which is a little less than double the previous battery pack from PowerGen. This one is pretty slim too. Although, I’m sure it’ll be pretty hefty as well. It also has 4 Smart LEDs which indicate the power left, and it also has a built in flashlight.

6. RAVPower Element 10,400mAh External Battery Pack
RAVPower’s got a nice external battery pack as well. This is the Element which has a 10,400mAh battery backup inside to charge all your devices. Now it’s not as big as the previous one we listed, but it is about half the price. So we can’t really argue with that, now can we?
5. EasyAcc 12000mAh Power Bank
This power bank from EasyAcc has about 4 different USB ports, so you can really charge just about everything all at once. It’ll work with just about every microUSB device out there, and it is also fulfilled by Amazon. So you know what that means? Amazon Prime’s free two-day shipping is available.
4. Tylt Upplant 2
Here’s a pretty small one from Tylt. They actually don’t make a whole lot of external battery packs yet. They mostly make cases with batteries inside for certain phones. But that might change. I actually reviewed this one earlier this year and actually quite liked it. It’s pretty lightweight and it does have a 5200mAh battery inside.

3. Limeade Blast 15,600mAh Battery Pack
The Limeade Blast is a pretty slim batteyr pack that does come in different sizes. There’s a 6000, 13000, 15600, 18000, and a 24000mAh version of this battery pack. That’s some serious juice right there. This particular one is the 15,600mAh battery pack and it’s on sale for $50. Which isn’t bad at all.
2. New Trent iCarrier 12000mAh Portable Dual-USB Port External Battery Charger
New Trent is also a pretty familiar company for creating great external battery packs. This one is a 12000mAh battery pack that has two USB ports so you can go ahead and charge two devices at once. Which is a pretty big deal. Now you won’t have to worry about which device should you charge first.
1. Anker Astro E5 15,000mAh Portable Battery Pack
Here’s my personal favorite, this one’s from Anker. It’s a pretty large battery pack, but it’s a 15,000mAh battery pack so it’ll last you a while. It does have two USB ports so you can also charge a couple of devices at once using this one. There’s also LED lights showing how much juice you’ve got left.
