Running out of battery when there are no plug sockets nearby can be stressful, especially when relying on the device for directions, train tickets or keeping in touch with friends. But a handy gadget from Argos could help put an end to those low-battery worries, with its Belkin 20,000mAh Portable Power Bank, priced at £27.99.

The power bank is designed to provide a reliable source of backup power for everyday essentials, including smartphones, tablets, wireless earbuds and eReaders. Its standout feature is the large 20,000mAh battery capacity, which can provide multiple full charges for most smartphones, although the exact number will depend on the device’s battery size and charging efficiency.

The power bank features three ports, including two USB-A connections and one USB-C port, allowing users to charge up to three devices simultaneously. This could be particularly handy when travelling with family or friends who all need a little extra battery life.

It also supports charging at up to 15W, offering a convenient way to top up compatible devices when time is limited. Another useful feature is pass-through charging, which allows the power bank itself to recharge while simultaneously providing power to a connected device. This means users can make the most of a single plug socket when staying in a hotel or travelling.

LED indicators on the device show how much battery life remains, making it easy to check when the charger needs topping up. According to the product specifications, the power bank takes approximately five hours to recharge fully.
