The best power banks for your emergency kit

De beste powerbanks voor in je noodpakket

In November 2025, the government announced the "Think Ahead" campaign, urging everyone in the Netherlands to stock up on an emergency kit that will allow them to survive independently for 72 hours. One of the items that absolutely must be in your emergency kit is a device that can keep you informed about developments. You can choose between a battery-powered radio or your mobile phone with a power bank. Many people will choose their mobile phone because, in addition to being reachable, it also provides a flashlight and entertainment, among other things. If you choose your mobile phone, you naturally don't want it to die. To prevent that, a power bank is ideal. This blog explains which power banks are best for your emergency kit.

MOJOGEAR XL All-in-1 Powerbank 20.000 mAh met ingebouwde Lightning en USB-C kabels - Powerbanks

Complete power bank

In an emergency, you want to be well-prepared for all possible situations: whether you're stuck at home for an extended period or need to evacuate. For this, you want your power bank to have as few separate components as possible, but with plenty of power so you can charge your phone as often as possible. Extra cables and accessories increase the risk of forgetting or losing something.

The MOJOGEAR XL All-in-1 has everything you need from a power bank in one:

  • Built-in USB-C and Lightning cables: no loose cables needed.
  • Display that accurately shows the remaining battery percentage.
  • 20,000 mAh capacity: good for an average of 3 to 8 smartphone charges (depending on your device).
  • Supports fast charging via Quick Charge and USB-C PD.

The display itself is valuable in an emergency. You know exactly how much energy you have left and can adjust your usage accordingly. No guesswork, no surprises.

This power bank is ideal for people who want a reliable all-rounder in their emergency kit, without any extra accessories.

MOJOGEAR MINI EVO 10.000 mAh powerbank 22.5W - Powerbanks

Most compact power bank

In an emergency, you might need to leave your home temporarily. Think of evacuation, sheltering outside your home, or simply moving indoors. In those cases, you don't want to bring a heavy or bulky power bank, but you do want to be assured of sufficient power.

The MOJOGEAR MINI EVO is the most compact and practical choice in this case:

  • Compact size (approx. 7.9 × 5.6 × 2.5 cm): fits easily in a jacket or trouser pocket.
  • 10,000 mAh capacity: good for an average of 2 to 3 full smartphone charges in practice.
  • Supports fast charging via Quick Charge 3.0 and USB-C Power Delivery (PD).

That last feature is important. Fast charging not only means your phone charges faster, but also means you'll use your time more efficiently. Your phone won't spend as much time charging.

The MINI EVO is therefore ideal as a mobile backup: light, compact and quickly deployable when you're on the road or want to save space in your emergency kit.

Ulanzi BG-3 powerbank grip 10.000 mAh (met statiefje) - Powerbanks

Tripod power bank

An emergency situation is incredibly exciting, but also a perfect opportunity to document life in an emergency. You can do this for social media content, to pass the time, or to look back on later. For this, you'll want a tripod to capture stable footage. How convenient would it be if you had a tripod that also functions as a power bank, so you can use it to capture stable footage and charge your phone?

We have a great recommendation for this: the Ulanzi BG-3 . Below you'll find a list of its advantages:

  • Capacity of 10,000 mAh
  • Charge your phone 1.5 to 4 times (depending on the model)
  • Use your power bank as a tripod too
  • The legs of the tripod are detachable, so you can also use it as a power bank only
  • Supports fast charging up to 18W via QuickCharge 3.0 (for Samsung, LG, Sony, Xiaomi, HTC and Nokia, among others) and USB Power Delivery (for Apple, among others).

So, do you still want to create content during an emergency and be able to charge your phone more often? Then the Ulanzi BG-3 is an effective solution.

Lamp as power bank

In an emergency, you need light, especially at night. A simple flashlight is generally sufficient, but if you really need a lot of reliable light, a video light is a more versatile solution.

The MOJOGEAR Lumi Bicolor Max takes things a step further. This flashlight is not only a powerful light source but also doubles as a power bank. This allows you to combine two essential emergency kit components into one.

The benefits of the MOJOGEAR Lumi Bicolor Max:

  • 10,000 mAh capacity
  • Lasts at least 3 hours (on maximum strength) up to 25 hours (on minimum strength) when used only for illumination
  • With USB-A cable you can charge your smartphone
  • Completely wireless: no power socket required

This way, you'll always have light and be able to keep your phone (or other devices) charged for communication, information, or navigation. If you're looking for a powerful flashlight that's independent of mains power and can also be used as a power bank, the MOJOGEAR Lumi Bicolor Max is a logical and reliable choice for your emergency kit.
