Lowest Price I’ve Seen On My Favorite Battery
I’m working on a series of posts for items I carry in my backpack and noticed today that my favorite pocket battery has dropped in price again.
I’ve paid $19.99 for the Anker 3200 mAh portable charger in the past and thought that was a good deal. Then, right before Christmas Amazon dropped the price to $16.99. Today, it’s showing up at $13.99.
As a general rule, batteries and storage devices continue to get cheaper. But, the Anker stuff is really durable. I have half a dozen different pieces from them and they all hold their charge and/or charge the way they’re supposed to, a bit of a rarity these days. If you need more juice, they also carry larger batteries that will deliver more than 2 amps to effectively charge iPads and other tablets as well.
I’m a bit unlike most people, in that I carry the really big guy which will charge my tablet and phone at the same time as my earpiece.
This battery is ideal for your pocket (why they call it a “lipstick charger”), weighing less than 3 ounces and measuring less than 4 inches in length. My daughter was looking over my shoulder and saw there was a pink one, so she’s trying to get me to buy another one!
I doubt the price gets lower than this, so if you think you might need one, now’s a good time. I do earn a referral credit if you order from one of my links, which I genuinely appreciate.

Sadly the lovely non-black colors are much higher in price.
Yeah, I noticed that when my daughter winked at the pink one. Hence the reason I didn’t order it. 🙂

“I doubt the price gets lower than this”
Care to explain?
Mike, these are normally priced at $20 and the other colors aren’t discounted. I just don’t see them going much lower than $14 in the near future, given Amazon’s processing cost, shipping and Anker’s profit margin. It may seem like I’m contradicting myself, but while I do believe the price can come down from $20, I don’t see sub-$14 anytime soon. Then again, I’m the guy that thought $17 was a good price 😉
Picked one up to try it out since it’s so cheap.
That’s the great thing about amazon. Easy to return if you don’t like it. Thanks, Mr. Platypus!
Ordered one. Used your link—so you get another nickel!
I think it’s two nickels. Thanks, Charles!
I ordered this product for my iPhone 5-S. It claims to work with this model, but it plainly does not.
Patrick, I used it to charge a 5S two weeks ago. Maybe you got a defective one ?
