Best Chargers for the Amazon Tap Bluetooth Speaker

(Last Updated On: March 19, 2018)

The Amazon Tap is one of Amazon’s most purchased products. It’s not exactly as famous as their Amazon Echo but it still has capabilities that make it worth purchasing for what it offers. So what’s the main selling point about the Amazon Tap? Well, that would be the fact that it’s portable. With the Amazon Echo and Dot they have to be connected to a power source at all times, so they can only stay in a single place, and don’t have an internal battery that they use as a power source.

However, with the Amazon Tap, it does use a 2,850mAh battery and so it opens up doors with you being able to take the Tap anywhere that you go. Of course, when the Amazon Tap isn’t connected to a Wi-Fi network or Mobile Hotspot then you can really only use it as a speaker but it’s still useful as you when you are connected to a Wi-fi network, you can then use this the same way that you would use an Amazon Echo.

With the Tap being portable, it also means that the battery is going to eventually run out of power and you’re going to have to recharge it at some point. That’s why we’ve chosen the best chargers for the Amazon Tap that you can use whether you’re on the go with a portable charger, in your house with a wall charger or in the car driving to charge the Tap with a car charger.

So let’s see what chargers you should purchase that are best for keeping your Tap powered up and ready to use as fast and efficiently as possible.

Best Portable Chargers for the Amazon Tap

Portable chargers, also known as power banks have taken off quite rapidly in the past few years and it makes sense that they have. As they’re able to charge our devices such as smartphones while we’re on-the-go and in this case, now portable speakers such as the Tap are able to charge while we’re out and about because the Tap actually uses a Micro-USB input port which is perfectly compatible to charge with USB chargers.

The best power banks that we’ve chosen for the Tap feature the ideal power capacity to charge the 2,850mAh battery capacity that it has to full power a few times over. Another thing is that they also feature the fastest charging rate so they’re able to charge the Amazon Tap at its max charging speed too, which is 9W.

Anker PowerCore 10000pic-1

One of the most simple and at the same time a very useful power bank to get for the Amazon Tap is the Anker PowerCore 10000. From one of the best brands within the charging electronic space, this PowerCore 10000 is basically exactly what it sounds like and that would be it having a 10,000mAh power capacity. It’s with the power capacity that you’re able to charge the Amazon Tap to its full power about 3 times and that’s basically able to last you for a few days as the power consumption of the Tap isn’t even that high as it’s a speaker and not a smartphone that uses a screen.

Also, with the 10,000mAh power capacity this charger uses just a single port, now it might sound limiting that it uses a single port. However, the single port on this PowerCore 10000 is quite powerful with its 5V/2.4A charging speed or 12W of charging power. That’s 3W higher than the max charging rate of the Amazon tap which is 9W, so you’re able to charge your Amazon Tap at its max charging speed with this power bank while you’re on the move.

All in a Compact Size

Another reason that we’re recommending this power banks is that of its very small size and basically, the main reason that it’s been purchased by so many people. It has a length of 3.6 inches, a width of 2.3 inches and a thickness of 0.9 inches, so this charger can basically fit into your pocket and you can have your charging cable running into the Amazon Tap from your pocket and charging it from there. Just a way that we thought you could use.

But basically this power bank is very portable and then you have the capacity that can charge the Tap to full power a few times and a powerful charging port; it all becomes clear that its size is very convenient for what you’re getting.

If you want more power capacity, then Anker also has their PowerCore 13000 portable charger, which has a 13,000mAh power capacity. This charger also uses two USB ports with each of them using a 5V/2.4A charging speed.

RAVPower 16,750mAh Power Bank with 4.5A Dual Output

Going into the higher capacity range brings us this RAVPower 16,750mAh portable charger. With this power capacity you’re able to charge your Amazon Tap to its full power about  5 times, so you can very well use the capacity of this charger for a full week if all you’re doing is charging the Tap.

The charging power from the two ports on this RAVPower power bank is also very good. That’s because one of the USB-A ports has a charging speed of 5V/2.4A and the other one has a charging rate of 5V/2.1A. Either of the ports is able to charge the Amazon Tap at its max charging rate and what’s even better is that you’re able to use the max power of each of the ports at the same time; since the max output of this power bank is 4.5A.

This power bank also has a small size that you’re able to take anywhere with you, with its length of only 5 inches, and a thickness of 0.7 inches. It uses a flashlight that can be useful if you ever find the need to use it.

Jackery Bolt 6,000mAh Power Bank

Since the Amazon Tap is a portable device and so is a power bank, it can be possible to forget to bring a charging cable with you while you’re headed out. For that reason, getting a power bank with its own built-in cable is one of the best types of portable chargers that you can purchase. Such as this Jackery Bolt 6,000mAh power bank.

This charger doesn’t have a very high power capacity, it doesn’t matter too much as the Amazon Tap itself only has a 2,850mAh battery so you’re able to charge it to full power about two times with this charger.

The main highlight feature of this Jackery Bolt portable charger though is the charging and that’s because of its two built-in cables and a USB-A port. So it has a Micro-USB cable and a Lighting cable built-into the power bank. In this case, with a Micro-USB cable, you’re able to use the Micro-USB cable to charge your Amazon Tap without having to grab a charging cable to use with the USB-A port on this power bank. The charging rate of this power bank is also pretty good with its 2.4A max output. So you can charge the Amazon Tap at its max charging rate with this Jackery Bolt power bank.

The form factor is another plus as this charger has a short length of 4.3 inches and a thickness of just 0.9 inches which allows you to fit it into your pocket if you want to.

RAVPower 22,000mAh Power Bank with 3-Portspic-1

The final high capacity portable charger that we wanted to recommend is another RAVPower portable charger simply because RAVPower makes some awesome portable chargers. It has a 22,000mAh power capacity so you can potentially get about 8 full charges for the Amazon Tap, but getting this power bank isn’t only about charging your Tap, well it could be, but with its high power capacity and many USB ports, you’re able to charge other devices at the same time too.

There are a total of 3 USB-A ports with this power bank, and each of them has a charging rate of 5V/2.4A, so any one of the ports can charge your Amazon Tap at its max charging speed. Another great part about charging with this power bank is that it has a max output of 5.8A and therefore you can use all three ports at the same time and every one of the ports will output a charging rate of 5V/1.9A even with the max output being reached. That’s still enough charging power to charge the Tap at its max charging speed while three devices are being charged at the same time.

The size of this power bank is actually quite large and heavy and it’s something that you have to deal with when it comes to high capacity portable chargers. As this one has a length of 6.5 inches, a width of 2.7 inches and a thickness of the charger is 0.9 inches. It weighs about 1 pound and overall, if you charge multiple devices at once then you’re going to have to set this power bank down.

Anker PowerCore 5000pic-1

The portable charger that we want to recommend for the Amazon Tap is the Anker PowerCore 5000. It might be an anti-climactic conclusion to the portable charger section of this guide, but to us it makes sense. That’s because this is a mini power bank with its 5,000mAh power capacity. With portable chargers, you get exactly what it sounds like and that would be a small size that can go anywhere with you no matter. With this PowerCore 5000 charger only having a length of 4.2 inches and a width of 1.3 inches. Very easy to take anywhere with you without any compromises.

Charging power is, of course, lacking in comparison to higher capacity portable chargers, but still, it can get the job done. With this PowerCore 5000 charger using, of course, a 5,000mAh power capacity that can charge Amazon Tap to its full power about 1.5 times. Not bad.

The charging power is also good for the Tap, with its single USB-A port using a 5V/2.0A charging speed, which can charge the Amazon Tap at its max charging speed.

Best USB Wall Chargers for the Amazon Tap

The USB wall charger is one of the most used types of charging electronics on the market and that’s because it’s the one charging electronic that comes with the portable devices that we purchase. The Amazon Tap actually comes with its own wall charger, but if you’ve lost it, want another one or want one that has more USB charging pots, then we’ve chosen some of the best for you to choose from.

So let’s take a look.

Anker PowerPort 2 Wall Charger

One of the simplest and powerful wall chargers that you can purchase for your Amazon Tap is the PowerPort 2 wall charger from Anker. Ther reason that it’s basically the best is that it only has a two charging ports, which makes it simple to use and know what you’re getting. The part is the charging power. With each of the ports outputting a charging speed of 5V/2.4A, and the max output of the charger is 4.8A.

So the two ports on this charger can charge the Amazon Tap at its max charging speed, and you can also use the max power of each of the two ports at the same time and still use them at full power with the 4.8A max output.

RAVPower 4 Port Charging Station

That’s because these chargers have lots of ports and in this case, this RAVPower charging station makes use of 4 USB charging ports. So you can charge your Amazon Tap and charge three other devices at the same time.

Each of the ports on this charging station has a charging speed of 5V/2.4A, so they’re quite powerful.

Anker PowerPort Speed 4 Wall Charger

The final wall charger that wanted to recommend is the Anker PowerPort Speed 4 wall charger and this charger is good to have if you own a Quick Charge compatible smartphone while at the same time want to charge your Amazon Tap.

It has a total of 4 charging ports, with one of the ports using Quick Charge, so just make sure that your smartphone is actually Quick Charge compatible. If so, then it’s a really good idea to get this charger, because along with the Quick Charge port, there are 3 additional USB-A ports that each have a charging rate of 5V/2.4A that you can charge with your Amazon Tap and other devices as well.

The max output of the charger is 43W so there’s a lot of power to go around to charge many devices at once. Another thing is that even with 4 powerful charging ports, this charger still manages to have a retractable AC adapter that makes traveling around with it a lot easier.

There’s also Anker’s PowerPort+ 3 wall charger that has a single Quick Charge port and two other standard ports if you find that four USB charging ports are simply too much.
