It’s another year, and now we’ve got the Samsung Galaxy S23; the phone features much of what you can expect with upgraded specs. At this point, you already know that newer phones are slightly improved iterations from last year’s models; that said, it’s always impressive having the latest tech on the market. One of the most notable spec bumps this year is that the S23 models have even larger batteries. Larger batteries are a must with how powerful these phones become as they use more power.
In this case, the base Galaxy S23 has a 3,900mAh battery, the S23 Plus has a 4,700mAh battery, and the Galaxy S23 Ultra has a 5,000mAh battery. The battery size of the S23 Ultra isn’t too surprising, but it’s impressive to see the first two models have larger batteries.
With larger batteries, you may need a power bank to charge your S23, as even these larger batteries can drain pretty quickly. That’s why in this guide, I’m covering chargers that you can use to charge your Galaxy S23 no matter where you are. Another thing to note is that the S23 can fast charge at 25W, while the S23 Plus and the S23 Ultra can fast charge at 45W, which is why I’ve included fast charging power banks in this guide.
INIU 25,000mAh 65W Power Delivery Power Bank
Starting with this INIU power bank with a 25,000mAh capacity, this amount of power helps charge all models of the S23. Even for the highest tier S23 Ultra, you’ll be able to charge it to full power about 2.5 times. The charging power from this INIU power bank is also pretty impressive because it has two USB-C Power Delivery ports and a single USB-A port.
One of the USB-C ports has a 65W Power Delivery charging speed, while the other has a 30W PD output. The USB-A port has a 22.5W output. You can fast charge your S23 using either USB-C port; however, for the S23 Plus and the S23 Ultra, I recommend charging them from the USB-C 1 port with the 65W output. When it comes to charging the base S23, the 30W USB-C port will do just fine.
Recharging this power bank is just as good as the output because you can recharge it at 45W with a 45W or higher Power Delivery wall charger. This power bank does not come with a wall charger, but I highly recommend recharging it at 45W as it has a high capacity, so you’ll want to recharge it as fast as possible.

iWalk LinkPod USB-C Mini Power Bank
This iWalk LinkPod power bank isn’t going to charge your Galaxy S23 at its fastest speed, but this LinkPod power bank is one of the smallest and user experience friendly power banks that I’ve ever used. The first thing to know is that this power bank is tiny and shaped like a pod; it’s designed so that once you plug it into your phone, it becomes a part of it.
The only way to charge your S23 with this power bank is by the USB-C connector with an 18W power Delivery output. Yes, this is not the fastest charging speed for the Galaxy S23, but it’s still better than standard 12W and is an alright speed. Also, recharging is easy because you can either use the USB-C connector or the USB-C input to recharge the power bank, and they both have the same 18W Power Delivery recharge speed.
This iWalk power bank has a 4,800mAh capacity so that you will get, at least, close to a total capacity charge for your S23, but it won’t get it back to full power—an LCD showing the capacity at the front of the power bank.
If you want the ease of portability, with just enough capacity, somewhat fast charging, and a great design, this LinkPod power bank is good.

ROMOSS PEA30 30,000mAh 30W PD Power Bank
If you want tons of capacity, this ROMOSS PEA30 power bank will serve you well. This charger has a 30,000mAh capacity, enough to charge the S23 Ultra with its 5,000mAh battery to full power about 3.5 times, possibly even four times. The lower tiers models of the S23 can likely get about 4.5 full charges.
Charging power from the ROMOSS PEA30 power bank is good but doesn’t have the optimal fast charging. The ports include a USB-C Power Delivery port with a 30W output, and two USB-A ports have a 22.5W output. You can fast charge your S23 via the USB-C, but this power bank does not have 45W PPS super fast charging, just something to make a note of.
Recharging is unique for this PEA30 power bank because you can use the USB-C port, Lightning, or a Micro-USB port to recharge. Of course, I highly recommend using the USB-C port to recharge because it has a 30W Power Delivery recharging speed.
At the front of the power bank is an LCD that shows the remaining capacity.

Baseus Blade 100W PD Power Bank
This Baseus Blade power bank may be the only one you’ll need for not only your Galaxy S23 but for all your other USB-C chargeable devices because this power bank has a 100W Power Delivery output. This Baseus power bank has two USB-C ports that can output 100W, of course, one at a time, and the USB-A ports can output 30W.
The 100W USB-C ports on this power bank can be incredibly useful for charging laptops, tablets, and phones. In this case, you can fast charge any S23 model, even at 45W, for fast charging the S23 Plus and S23 Ultra.
Recharging this Baseus Blade power bank is very fast, too, because it has a 65W Power Delivery recharging speed. Design-wise, this power bank stands apart from the rest. You first notice that it has a slim form factor, as the Baseus Balde is only 0.7 inches thin. The most notable thing is the screen at the top of the power bank that shows the capacity, voltage, amperage, and even the time till the capacity is fully depleted. Not many power banks show how long you have to use the power bank, and I find that to be a neat feature.

iWalk LinkPod Y2 Power Bank with Built-in USB-C Cable
One other iWalk power bank I wanted to recommend is the LinkPod Y2 power bank. This one is similar to the other iWalk power bank that I recommended. Still, this one has a built-in cable that you can use to recharge your S23. Also, this power bank only has an 18W Power Delivery charging speed, so you can fast charge your Galaxy S23, but it will charge at its max rate.
The capacity for this LinkPod Y2 power bank is 9,600mAh, so regardless of which model of the S23 you have, you will be able to charge it to full power at least once. Recharging is done from the built-in cable, as you can directly plug the cable into a wall charger and recharge the power bank at 18W, or you can use the USB-C input to recharge the power bank at 18W, too.
This power bank also has an LCD at the top that shows the capacity and charging status. I’m recommending this power bank mainly because it has a built-in USB-C cable, so you don’t have to worry about carrying a cable around; as long as it is charged up, it will be reliable.

Baseus 20,000mAh 65W Power Bank
This Baseus power bank is slightly different than the other one; this power bank also has a 20,000mAh capacity, so you can charge your S23 to full power about two times, no matter which model you have. On the charging side, this power bank has a single USB-C port with a 65W Power Delivery output, and the USB-C port also features 45W of PPS super fast charging, so you can fast charge your Galaxy S23.
The other output ports are the two USB-A ports with a 30W output. You can fast charge your S23 using the USB-A ports. However, the phone will likely only charge at 18W. For recharging his Baseus power bank, you can use either the USB-C or the Micro-USB input port. I highly recommend using the USB-C port to recharge the power bank because it has a 65W recharging speed. On the other hand, the Micro-USB input only has an 18W recharging rate.
The screen on this Baseus power bank is similar to the Baseus Blade because it also shows the capacity, voltage, and amperage but does not show the estimated runtime.
