Power banks all have sorts of charging features, with some of them only using a single port, and having a low power capacity, while still being able to fit into your pocket as easily as a smartphone. You’ve also got high power capacity power banks that can charge smartphones multiple times to full power; they can even charge laptops as high capacity power banks usually feature more powerful charging such as USB-C Power Delivery.
Power banks have been known to have flashlights; yes, the good old flashlight used with power banks was very common a few years ago. However, that trend has slowly gone down these past few years, likely because brands found it was no longer worth having a flashlight on a power bank. We don’t think that’s entirely true, as a power bank with a flashlight can definitely be more reliable than one without a flashlight simply because it’s convenient to have just in case you ever need it.
In this guide, we’re covering power banks that have flashlights for those unexpected emergencies.
EasyAcc 20,000mAh USB-C Power Bank
This EasyAcc power bank has a plethora of charging ports for you to use and still has an LED flashlight at the power bank’s front. Along with the flashlight, there are two USB-A ports and two USB-C ports. The USB-A and USB-C ports have a 15W charging speed; no, this power bank does not feature Quick Charge or Power Delivery, which is a let down; however, for the most part, 15W of charging does equate to fast charging for smartphones at least. This is because “Fast Charging” is usually done at 18W, so this EasyAcc power bank at least comes close.
Recharging this power bank is as good as the output charging, with there being two input ports that can be used at the same time to recharge the power bank faster. There’s a USB-C input and a Micro-USB input; when both are recharging, the power bank can recharge at 20W, faster than what most power banks can recharge.
This charger does come with a Micro-USB to USB-C combo cable that makes it easier to recharge at max speed right out of the box.

JIGA 30,000mAh Power 3 Output and 3 Input Power Bank
Higher capacity power banks also tend to have flashlights, and it makes sense as these types of portable chargers have enough battery power to keep a flashlight on for a very long time. This JIGA power bank has an LED flashlight that you can turn on by holding the power button down for a few seconds, and along with the flashlight, there are many ports to be used.
This power bank’s only flaw is that it does not feature fast charging such as Quick Charge or USB-C Power Delivery, but it does have a 30,000mAh power capacity. A 30,000mAh power capacity is enough to charge most phones to full power about six or seven times, so you’re looking at basically a full week of not having to recharge this JIGA power bank.
There are three standard USB-A ports that each have a 10W charging speed; yes, there is no fast charging, but you have the very high power capacity that is going to last. Recharging this power bank does provide better charging as there are three input ports to use.
There’s a USB-C input port, a Micro-USB, and a Lightning input port. The USB-C port is the fastest way to recharge the power bank, but the Lightning input is definitely useful for iPhone users, as it’s rare to have a Lightning input on a power bank.

Aukey 30,000mAh USB-C and Quick Charge 3.0 Power Bank
Another very high power capacity power bank is an Aukey 30,000mAh power bank that will definitely last you a week if you’re charging your phone. It may last you even longer depending on your charging needs, and when it comes to using its LED flashlight, you won’t have to worry about running out of power as there’s tons of power capacity to burn into.
There are three output ports, and thankfully, this Aukey power bank does feature fast charging. The power bank has a Quick Charge 3.0 port and a standard USB-A port with a 12W charging speed. There is also a USB-C port with a 15W charge rate. However, the USB-C port does not feature Power Delivery. To recharge the power bank, you can either use the USB-C port or the Micro-USB input port. We recommend using the USB-C port to recharge the power bank as it’s faster.
Given that it’s a 30,000mAh power bank, we thought it would be large, but the charger is rather small for its power capacity, but it is heavy. Included with the power bank is a USB-C to USB-A cable.
