Whether your iPhone needs a quick midday charge or you need iPad power during a long-haul flight, these portable batteries will keep your iOS and Android gadgets going even when there’s no power outlet in sight.

Read on for some recent portable battery deals for every budget, from a lipstick-sized portable charger that’ll give your dying iPhone or Android phone a quick boost to a hefty but powerful charger that’ll fully charge an iPhone up to 10 times over.

Jackery Mini 3200mAh Portable Battery ChargerJackery Mini 3200mAh portable charger

About the size of a lipstick, the Jackery Mini 3200mAh portable charger is a perfect everyday companion for your pocket, purse or knapsack. It won’t do you much good with an iPad, but this pint-sized, 2.8-ounce Jackery charger will give your dying iPhone or Android phone a boost while you’re on the go—and at just $8, it’s one of the best portable battery bargains around.

Anker PowerCore 5000Anker PowerCore 5000 portable charger

Price: $18 on Amazon

While it’s bigger than the mini Jackery charger, the 4.8-ounce Anker PowerCore 5000 is still relatively small and light, and it’s got enough juice to charge an iPhone 6S twice, give a full single charge to a Samsung Galaxy S6, or partially charge an iPad Mini.

RavPower 10000mAh Power BankRavPower 10000mAh Power Bank

Price: $18 on Amazon

Ready to step up to something a little more powerful? The RavPower 10000mAh Power Bank isn’t the smallest or lightest portable battery on the block—indeed, it’s nearly an inch thick and it weighs about a half a pound. But this portable RavPower charger can also fully charge a dead iPad Mini, or charge an iPhone 8 up to three times over. Even better, the RavPower can charge two mobile devices at once thanks to its dual USB charging ports.

Heading out for a road trip? This Anker PowerCore charger can fully charge an iPhone 7 up to seven times, or an iPad Mini 4 two times. A portable battery with this much juice will weight you down a bit, with the PowerCore tipping the scale at more than 12 ounces. That said, the dual USB charging ports should sweeten the pill.

RavPower Xtreme 26800mAh portable battery packRavPower Xtreme 26800mAh portable charger

Price: $50 on Amazon

Flying from New York to Tokyo with no power outlet near your seat? Pack this bad boy in your carry-on.

With its three USB charging ports, you can even share the Xtreme with everyone in your row.

There are plenty of dual-USB portable charges on the market, but only a few of them are this small—or this cheap. It won’t be on sale for long, though.

Now selling for $16 $18 (normally it’s closer to $30), the RavPower 10000mAh Power Bank only weighs about nine ounces, and it’s nearly a third smaller than an iPhone 7 Plus.

Armed with a pair of powered USB ports, the RavPower Power Bank can charge two phones or tablets at once, and it can fully recharge an iPad Mini 4 one time, a Samsung Galaxy S8 twice, or an iPhone 8 up to three times over. Just toss the RavPower into your purse or your backpack, and you’ll never suffer again through the midday low-battery blues.

I kid you not: this portable charger comes with jumper cables. On sale for $32 (that’s 54% off), the fast-charging Beatit Tech 500A Portable Jump Starter weighs a little less than a pound. I like that it’s small enough to fit in a purse or a backpack.

Armed with a USB port, this portable charger can revive an iPhone or Android phone. And yes, the Beatit Tech 500A can also jump start your car up to 20 times on a single charge. They’ve even included a built-in flashlight to help you find your way under the hood if you need a nighttime jump.

Pretty neat, but keep in mind that Amazon’s Lightning Deal for the Beatit Tech 500A portable charger ends at 5pm ET today. Update [1:10pm]: That was fast—Amazon buyers have already snatched up all the available $32 Beatit chargers.  If you want to buy one now, it’ll set you back $50, which is still 29% off the list price.
