Anker 621 Magnetic Battery vs Jackery Explorer 300 Plus: which one fits your build

The Anker 621 Magnetic Battery is the one to take for iPhone 12/13 series owners and ultra-compact magnetic backup power, though it is not the pick for iPhone 14 and later (undersized fit) and Android users. Buy the Jackery Explorer 300 Plus for weekend camping trips needing a real AC outlet and CPAP machines during power outages or travel, though it is not built for ultralight backpackers counting grams and anyone who only charges phones and never needs AC power. It is equally the pick for anyone who charges a power bank almost daily and wants it to last years. It is not the one for airline carry-on hand luggage as a spare (still fine, but overkill). Our rating of the Jackery Explorer 300 Plus (8.7/10): the best small power station for people who cycle it constantly and never want to think about battery degradation again.
