Grab a recommended Anker battery pack on sale for $25

Today's Dealmaster is headlined by a great discount on Anker's PowerCore 10000 PD Redux, which is currently down to $24.65 on Amazon. While we've seen this portable battery drop to $30 on a couple occasions, today's deal brings it down to a new all-time low. We usually see it priced in the $40 to $45 range online.

We recommended the PowerCore 10000 PD Redux in our guide to the best iPhone and iPad accessories and our most recent travel tech gift guide. While there are countless power banks that can get the job done, we like this particular Anker battery for packing a fast-charging USB-C Power Delivery port in a supremely portable design. The device measures just 4.2x2.05x1-inches and weighs a scant 0.4 pounds, making it noticeably smaller (albeit thicker) than most modern smartphones and easy to pop into a handbag or jacket pocket if need be.

The battery's USB-C port puts out 18W of power, which is enough to charge iPhones and many Android phones at maximum speeds, and there's an additional USB-A port for refilling a second device simultaneously. Its 10,000mAh (36Wh) capacity is enough to get two full charges out of most phones, while a handy quartet of LEDs lets you know how much power you have left. Anker covers the whole thing with a decent 18-month warranty and includes a USB-C-to-USB-C cable in the box.

Before you buy, there are a few caveats. The PowerCore 10000 PD Redux can only output 18W in total, so if you plug a second device into the USB-A port, you'll shave some power off of the USB-C PD port. It's also worth noting that new USB specs should allow new phones to charge faster than batteries like the PowerCore 10000 PD Redux can allow. But only a few recent flagships, mainly from Samsung in the US, make that possible today, and the market for compatible third-party power banks this small is still dry. If you want an unobtrusive battery that'll still help your phone charge quickly today, the Redux remains a good buy, especially at this deal price.

If you don't need a new power pack, though, we also have deals on Final Fantasy VII Remake, Apple's AirPods Pro, Thunderbolt 3 docks and USB-C hubs, and much more. Have a look for yourself below.
