Anker 511 Nano 3 is the kind of charger you’ll want a few of, and for $15.99, you can afford to stock up

A beefy USB charger with half a dozen ports can be great for charging your laptop, phone and even USB bike light all at once, but the real heroes are the pocketable chargers small enough to always be around when you need them. That’s where the Anker 511 Nano 3 fits in.

When I tested 22 different USB chargers to find the best, this little charger easily took the crown for best budget charger thanks to its strong power delivery, compact size and a very hard-to-beat everyday price. That price just got better, though, with a seasonal deal bringing it down from its usual $19.99 to $15.99.
