Shoutout to the Anker 737 Power Bank for making me ditch my old wall charger habit during a 4-hour airport layover last week.

I used to pack a bulky charger and hunt for outlets, but now I just top up my phone and laptop from this brick in my bag, so which side are you on, team power bank or team outlet hunter?

Define "needs a plug" for me.

Wait, are we counting a charge as getting from 1% to 100%, or just enough to check your texts for ten minutes? Because I swear my phone's battery life is like a teenager, it just gives up halfway through the day for no reason. But honestly, with this thing I've been getting about two and a half full charges before it craps out, which is better than my old power bank that gave me one and a half and then just laughed at me. And hey @young.michael is totally right, my phone dying at 50% with this thing still plugged in is basically a tradition at this point. So yeah, two and a half charges if the phone cooperates, maybe two if it's in a mood.

Depends if you count my phone dying halfway through as a full charge lol.
