Today's Dealmaster is headlined by a great discount on Anker's PowerCore 10000 PD Redux, which is currently down to $24.65 on Amazon. While we've seen this portable battery drop to $30 on a couple occasions, today's deal brings it down to a new all-time low. We usually see it priced in the $40 to $45 range online.

We recommended the PowerCore 10000 PD Redux in our guide to the best iPhone and iPad accessories and our most recent travel tech gift guide. While there are countless power banks that can get the job done, we like this particular Anker battery for packing a fast-charging USB-C Power Delivery port in a supremely portable design. The device measures just 4.2x2.05x1-inches and weighs a scant 0.4 pounds, making it noticeably smaller (albeit thicker) than most modern smartphones and easy to pop into a handbag or jacket pocket if need be.

The battery's USB-C port puts out 18W of power, which is enough to charge iPhones and many Android phones at maximum speeds, and there's an additional USB-A port for refilling a second device simultaneously. Its 10,000mAh (36Wh) capacity is enough to get two full charges out of most phones, while a handy quartet of LEDs lets you know how much power you have left. Anker covers the whole thing with a decent 18-month warranty and includes a USB-C-to-USB-C cable in the box.
