Best Power Banks for Google Pixel, Google Pixel XL in 2024

(Last Updated On: January 9, 2024)

“What year is it?” is probably what you’re asking yourself if you’re looking at this guide. Yes, it has been some time since the release of the first Google Pixel, and if you’re still using it, you’ll need a power bank. Why? Well, the battery of the first Pixel has degraded substantially while you were using it, and you may find that the battery drains faster than when you first got it.

The specs of the Pixel may not hold up to today’s phones, but they’re okay. I’ve chosen a few power banks that would work well for the Pixel and can fast charge it, too. Just a heads up, Google Pixel and Pixel XL are compatible with 18W of Power Delivery, so most power banks in this guide can fast charge them.

iWalk LinkPod Mini Power Bank

One of the simplest power banks you can own for charging the Pixel and any USB-C chargeable phone is this iWalk LinkPod mini power bank. The iWalk power bank has a USB-C connector that you can use to plug directly into the Pixel, and it becomes an extension of your phone. You don’t have to deal with any cable, even when recharging, because the power bank can be recharged via a USB-C connector by plugging it directly into a USB-C port. The USB-C connector has a 20W power delivery charge rate to charge the Pixel fast.

The iWalk power bank is tiny and lightweight because it has a 4,800mAh battery that can charge the Google Pixel to full power at about once. In my review of the iWalk LinkPod mini power bank, I could perform pass-through charging with it, meaning I could charge my phone and recharge the power bank simultaneously. Watch my video review for a closer look at this power bank’s features.

ROMOSS PEA30 Power Bank

If you’re looking for a power bank with a larger battery that you can use for a few days, the ROMOSS PEA30 power bank is a good choice. This ROMOSS power bank has a 30,000 battery that can last for days because it has enough battery power to charge the Pixel to full capacity, about five times if it’s the only device you’re charging with the power bank.

The charging power is also there, with the ROMOSS power bank having a 30W Power Delivery USB-C port and two USB-A ports. You can fast charge the Pixel via the USB-C port for fast charging. In my review of the ROMOSS PEA30 power bank, I found that the fastest way to recharge it was to use the USB-C port because it had a 30W recharge rate. The other two input ports on this ROMOSS power bank have a slower recharge speed. Check out my video review for a detailed analysis of this power bank.

iWalk LinkPod Y2 Built-in USB-C Cable Power Bank

The iWalk LinkPod Y2 power bank is similar to the other iWalk charger I mentioned. However, this Y2 version has a built-in cable and a 9,600mAh battery. So you can likely get about two total charges for the Pixel or the Pixel XL, and you can fast charge your Pixel because the built-in cable has an 18W Power Delivery charging speed. The same built-in cable can recharge the power bank by plugging it directly into a USB-C port on a wall charger.

In my review of the iWalk LinkPod Y2 power bank, I could see a fast charging indicator on the power bank’s screen when I was charging my Note 9. Also, I found a USB-C port on the power bank for recharging, and it does come with a USB-C cable in the box. Watch my video review to see how this power bank performs.

PowerAdd Pro 20W Power Bank

The PowerAdd Pro 20W power bank is the most normal portable charger you can own for charging nearly any phone. This PowerAdd charger has your average 10,000mAh battery that can charge most phones to full power about two times; the same can be said about charging the Pixel.

This power bank has a 20W Power Delivery USB-C port for fast charging the Pixel or the Pixel XL. In my review of the PowerAdd Pro 20W power bank, I found the slim form factor of the charger to be one of the best parts because I could easily slide the charger into my pocket.

Baseus 65W 20,000mAh Power Bank

The Baseus 65W power bank may be too much to recommend for solely charging the Google Pixel. However, it fits modern standards because you may also own a USB-C laptop. This Baseus power bank has a single USB-C port and two USB-A ports. 65W of Power Delivery can be fully used if you’re charging a single device from the USB-C port; when charging two devices, the USB-C port outputs 45W, and if you’re charging three devices, the USB-C port outputs 20W of Power Delivery.

So, you can charge most USB-C laptops via the USB-C port on this power bank, but the better part for charging your Pixel is that you can still fast charge your Pixel from the USB-C port even if you’re charging three devices simultaneously. The 20,000mAh battery of the Baseus power bank can charge the Pixel to full power about four times, and in my review of the Baseus 65W power bank, I could recharge it at 60W via the USB-C port. I would not recommend using the micro-USB input port for recharging because it only has an 18W recharge speed.

Final thoughts about my choice of Power Banks for Google Pixel, Pixel XL

It has been a long time since the release of the first Google Pixel, and some people may be using it; as strange as that sounds, it’s possible. The Pixel is from an era when phones were making some leaps in improvements, and soon after its release, phones began to have minor upgrades, and that is where we still are. If you’re considering upgrading from Pixel to a newer model, look at my charger guide for the Google Pixel 7 or my charger guide for the Pixel 8 Pro. The funny thing is that even years later, the charging speed of the Pixel hasn’t improved tremendously, but I think that’s fine.
