30 or more watt USB-C PD charging for MacBooks/laptops– 30 or more watts are required if you plan to also charge Macbook Air/Pro or USB-C laptops with the power bank.

Please Note: Only a 45-watt+ USB-C PD wall charger such as ZMI 45-watt PD charger or  AmazonBasics PD 61 watt PD charger  will charge AmazonBasics 26800 USB-C PD in 4 hours.

Tip: For power users, and especially iPhone 15, 14, 13/12, 11, XR/XS/X/8/8+ users who do not already have a PD charger, a  good charger option to go with AmazonBasics 26800 USB-C PD  is a dual-PD port charger such as

Best 20000mah USB-C Power Bank for Phones, Macbooks & Laptops Charges MacBook Air at Fast Speed (45 watt)

ZMI 20000 PD Portable Charger (45 watt USB-C PD 3.0)

Recommended for Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, Dell XPS 13/15, iPhone 15, 14, 13/12/11 series, XR, XS, XS Max, X, 8/8+, USB-C ultrabooks, Samsung S/Note/A series, all Android smartphones, Nintendo Switch

If you want a powerbank that can not only fast-charge all smartphones (Apple/Samsung other Android phones) but also charge Macbooks Pro, Macbook Air etc. at fastest speed currently possible from power banks, then our top choice as 45-watt PD powerbank is ZMI 20100 45-watt USB-C PD 3.0 power bank. This power bank  features a high 45 watt USB-C PD charging output, full support for fastest charging of all latest smartphones (both iPhones and Android) and stellar build quality.

ZMI 20100 PD 3.0 power bank  delivers 45 watt charging power  – more than the original Apple MacBook Air’s 29 watt wall charger. This means that it can charge your Macbook Air faster than it takes to charge it by the original Apple wall charger.  We highly recommend this powerbank if you have a USB-C chargeable laptop, especially Macbooks as well as newer models of Dell XPS 13 and XPS 15.

Laptops require much higher charging output than smartphones. Most phones can only take a maximum of about 18 watt charging output from the powerbank. However, most USB-C laptops can benefit from much higher USB-C PD charging outputs – 30 watt or higher. 45 watt USB-C charging will charge USB-C laptops and Macbooks at almost two times faster rate than 30-watt charging. USB-C PD is fast becoming the standard for charging laptops with all new Apple Macbooks and most other latest laptops supporting USB-C PD charging.

If you want a quality 45 watt USB-C PD power bank at lowest cost and do not need a bundled USB-C wall charger than ZMI 20100 45-watt PD 3.0 is currently the lowest cost good quality option in the market. It’s only other competitor is the excellent Anker PowerCore III 19200 45-watt and  ZMI 20000 65-watt PD (from Xiaomi/Mi) but we found ZMI 20100 45-watt PD 3.0  to offer better value for money. If you plan to charge Macbooks or laptops often and needs faster charging speed, then also consider  ZMI 20000 65-watt PD as it offers faster charging speed and excellent build quality though at a bit higher price.

The power bank can be charged with a regular USB wall charger in 10-12 hours or in just 4 hours with a 30-watt USB wall charger such as ZMI 61 watt USB-C PD wall charger.

Also, remember to buy a 30 watt or more USB PD charger such as ZMI 61 watt USB-C PD charger  (and not a regular 30 watt USB charger) to go with this power bank. Apple’s standard Macbook wall chargers will fast-charge it as well.

ZMI 20100 PD 3.0 power bank Pros:

• • Fast charges iPhone 15, 14, 13/12, 11, 11 Pro, XR, XS Max, XS, 8, 8+, and iPhone X (zero to 45% in 30 minutes) with USB-C to Lightning Cable

Tip: A good charger option to go with ZMI 20100 45-watt PD 3.0   is a dual-PD port charger such as Anker dual 60-watt PD charger (30w PD + 30w PD simultaneous, 60 watt PD max when using single port). It will allow you to fast charge both your 30-watt PD input powerbank and your USB PD phone/Macbook, at the same time.

ZMI Powerpack 10000 PD  18-watt USB-C PD 

The ZMI 10000 PD 29-watt (18-watt USB-C PD) power bank is our next choice as best USB-C PD portable charger for all USB-C PD compatible smartphones, which includes latest iPhones, and Samsung/Pixel/LG/Moto and other Android phones.

ZMI is a premium brand among power banks, perhaps second only to Anker, and ZMI 10000 PD is its slimmest 10000 mAh USB-C PD power bank. This 18-watt PD portable charger can fast-charge all the latest iPhones 0 to 45% in just 30 minutes using a USB-C to Lightning Cable. ZMI 10000 PD will also fast-charge all latest Samsung smartphones (S/Note/A series) and all Google Pixels from zero to 50% in 30 mins.

At just 6.7 oz (190 gm) and about half-inch inches (13mm) thickness, ZMI 10000 PD portable charger is small and portable enough for everyday carry.  ZMI 10000 PD will fully charge Samsung S/Note/A series and iPhone 15, 14, 13/12/11 series, XS/X/XR/8, 8 Plus minimum two times. The portable charger will fully charge iPhone 8/7/6s/6/SE/5S minimum three times with some charge to spare.

ZMI 10000 PD can be fully charged in 4 hours with any 18 or more watt 18-watt PD charger such as the Apple PD chargers that come with iPhone 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max or with Samsung S21/S20 Ultra, Note 10 or Note 10+ 25-watt PD chargers, or Macbook chargers (in 3 hours with Macbook chargers). It gets charged in just 5-6 hours with Samsung S/Note/A series chargers or Pixel/LG/Moto chargers. Apple iPhone 5-watt chargers will charge it in about 9-11 hours.

We recommend the excellent dual port Anker Powerport PD2 30-watt USB-PD charger or Anker Nano 18-watt Ultra-compact PD charger for charging it. Both these chargers will also fast charge new iPhones (12/11/XS/Max/XR/X/8/8+). Anker Powerport PD2  comes with an additional 12-watt USB port that you can use to simultaneously charge your phone and powerbank with one power outlet.
