This wall charger is small but mighty, and it’s only $13 during the Amazon Spring Sale

I travel a lot for work, commuting daily to the office and covering conferences and news events across the country. Regardless of the tech and additional accessories I bring, one thing always stays in my backpack — the Anker Nano Charger. The device’s size and price make it the perfect charging staple, and during Amazon’s Spring Sale, you can stock up with a 35% discount, making the charger only $13.

The biggest selling point of this charger is its size. When I let other people use this charger to juice their phones, they are shocked at how fast their tech powers up. That speed comes from the charger’s surprisingly high power output. Despite being almost the same size as the standard Apple 5W charger, the Anker Nano Charger leverages GaN technology to deliver up to 30W of power.

For context, that power is the same amount of watts as the much bulkier Apple 30W charger used to charge MacBook Air laptops. Beyond the charger’s compact size, there’s also a nifty foldable plug, making the cube easier to toss in a bag without worrying about damaging prongs.

I first got this charger in the fall of 2022, and despite testing many other charging accessories, its simplicity and efficiency have kept it a staple in my rotation. I always leave this charger in my work backpack because, even if I forget the other chargers I need, this one has enough juice to get me through the day, no matter what devices I bring with me, and it doesn’t weigh down my bag.
