Right now, you can grab this “must-have” item for only $31.99 after clipping the on-page coupon at Amazon right now, knocking 20% off its regular price of $39.99.
The GOODaaa portable power bank’s five ports include two USB-C, one Apple iOS input, one micro USB and one USB-A — and they can be charged via solar panel, USB-A or USB-C. The bank has a flashlight with three flashing modes for emergencies, plus an LED red light for pointing at objects (or playing with your cat) and a thermometer that the brand claims won’t drain battery through use. It’s built to withstand impact and dust, and although it’s not waterproof, it’s water-resistant and has silicone covers over its ports to prevent moisture damage.
“A brilliant purchase,” says Sheelah Lah, who claims to have used this bank on a 7-mile hike through Central America. “In the jungle I got two full laptop charges, and I lost count on charging up my phone. Love love love.”

More reviews from people successfully juicing up with this portable charging power bank:
“I love this product!!! We spend kind days at the ballfield and I am always looking for an outlet to charge my phone but most ball fields don’t have anything. Purchased this charger and I’m so glad I did. It’s easy to charge and is convenient and easy to use. Love that I can charge both my IPhone and my husbands Android.” — DM AGUILAR
“Brought this for my traveling, never used. Just had a big storm here in Texas, worked great for my 4 days with out power. Was able to charge 2 cell phones and 2 Apple Watches 4 days without recharging it. Great buy! Did not get to use the solar part of it to speak about. Happy I purchased it! Love it comes with plugs for the electronics.” — Marie M
“I am interested in always being ready and instead of jumping out and buying something large, I just wanted to get a fill for a solar powered instrument that could be use in a pinch. This thing is powerful and easy to use. It has built in, various charging cables, and is very low maintenance. Works great for charging smaller devices like phones and pads. Worth the cost.” — Dennis
“This is a must have item for anyone who might be traveling on vacation. This battery charger exceeded my expectations. Not only could I charge my android, but my daughter could charge her iPhone. Each charge was faster than charging with my plug-in charger. However, it’s like carrying around a small brick, but I have no regrets!!” — Joan B.
“Sturdy construction and all the options for device plug inputs. Simple to operate and reliable. We live in a “hurricane zone” and always need to be prepared for the power to go. This is the answer for the needs of the short term.” — Len W.
“I saw complaints about the size and weight of this power bank so I felt compelled to write this. This power bank is on the larger and heavier side for a portable, but the dimensions and weight are 100% accurate in the product specs so give them a look before you buy so you aren’t surprised. I bought it for a trip from US to EU and it lived up to every expectation I had. It’s not something to carry around in your pocket, but on a full charge this thing kept my devices running for my whole trip. I charged it before I left and only charged it again the night before my flight back. Can’t speak to the solar charging but the flashlight and laser pointer work as advertised.” — Alex
