The iPod Touch. It Sounds odd even mentioning this product from Apple, but it still exists. Many people may not own the iPod Touch and it makes sense as it’s a smartphone that’s not a smartphone, to begin with. As you can’t make calls with it.

That said, the iPod Touch is still a very useful device if you want to have an entertainment device with you while you’re on the move.

As the iPod Touch still serves its purposes of being an MP3 player, a camera, and also a media center for watches videos and playing video games. So it’s very close to the level of being a smartphone but at the same time, it’s not quite there.

Chargers in this Guide:

A Device that’s Capable of Much

Since the iPod Touch is capable of so much, and if you’re using it to its full potential, the battery of the iPod Touch can burn out quite quickly.

That’s because the iPod Touch has a very low battery capacity. Just how low? Well, the current 6th generation iPod Touch has a 1,043mAh battery capacity. This amount of power is very low when it comes to portable devices, and smartphones have much higher capacities than this.

With all that said, we’ve chosen the best chargers for the iPod Touch. So you’re able to charge it to full power as fast as possible, and charge a device such as this one at its max speed is important and that’s because its lower battery capacity can be filled up at a faster speed.  

The chargers that we have selected range from wall chargers, car, and portable chargers.

Best Portable Chargers for iPod Touch

One of the most useful charging electronics that you can currently own are portable chargers and that’s because they’re chargers that you can take anywhere that you go. Having to use a wall charger is something that most people do, but it can be frustrating to have to wait for your device to charge and then go where you want.

The best power banks for the iPod Touch are ones that have lower power capacities, and at the same time, we’ve selected ones that have mid-range power capacities too.

The reason for that is because the iPod Touch has such a low capacity so there’s more than you can use even with lower capacity portable chargers.

Anker PowerCore 5000 Slim

The first portable charger that we have to recommend is Anker’s PowerCore Slim 5000 charger. It has a 5,000mAh power capacity, so you can get about 3 full charges for the iPod Touch if that’s the only device that you’re going to be charging with this power bank.

Well, you can only charge a single device at a time with this portable charger.

That’s because it has a single USB-A port, and it has a charging speed of 5V/2.0A. The iPod Touch has a max charging speed of 5V/1.0A. So this power bank and all the other chargers within this guide can charge it at its max charging speed.

The recharging for this PowerCore Slim 5000 charger is done through a Micro-USB input port and it has a recharging speed of 5V/2.0A.

Slim Form Factor that Goes Anywhere

Or stacking your iPod Touch on top of this power bank and using it while it charges is also another way that you can use this power bank, too.
