When the grid drops, the phone still has to work

Power bank for power outage

Keep your phone charged for alerts, maps, and family calls. The 26,800mAh / 99Wh Portable Solar Power Bank is a backup phone battery you fill at the wall, then use with USB-C, USB-A, or 10W wireless when the house is dark.

  • 26,800mAh / 99Wh sized for phones and tablets — not the fridge
  • USB-C PD, dual USB-A, and 10W wireless — up to three devices at once
  • Charge an iPhone 16 up to 5 times via USB-C with a PD cable (estimates vary)
  • Fill in about 4 to 5 hours on USB-C before the storm; solar tops off in sun

Will a power bank keep my phone charged in a blackout?

Yes — if you start with a full pack and treat it as emergency phone power, not whole-home backup. The Portable Solar Power Bank stores 26,800mAh / 99Wh. Recharge it through USB-C in about 4 to 5 hours while you still have wall power. During the outage, keep the phone on a PD USB-C cable for the listed charge counts, or use 10W / 7.5W / 5W wireless through a compatible case. Charge a second phone on USB-A — up to three devices at once. A short high-current charging cable and a lanyard are included. The built-in panel is 5.93 × 2.81 in at 300mA/h for daytime top-off. For more solar, add a panel or the Solar Power Bundle. For AC loads, add the 300W Portable Power Station Max.

Why phones die first in an outage

Stored energy you can turn into phone charges

With a PD fast charging cable through USB-C, the pack can charge an iPhone 16 up to 5 times, an iPhone 15 up to 5 times, a Galaxy S24 up to 3 times, or an iPad Mini up to 3 times. Those are single-device estimates. Actual results vary based on device, battery condition, usage, temperature, and charging method. Screen-on weather apps and hotspot use drain faster than those counts — this capacity is built for that mixed communications load.

Cable, wireless, or both

USB-C in and out (12V/1.5A, 9V/2A, 5V/3A), two USB-A ports at the same voltages, and wireless at 10W / 7.5W / 5W for compatible iPhone, Galaxy, and Pixel phones. Wireless works through most compatible cases — remove metal attachments, rings, wallet cases, and cards for the best connection. Keep one cable on the nightstand phone and wireless for a spare.

1 lb 4.1 oz — keep it where you charge overnight

At 1 lb 4.1 oz and 6.93 × 3.74 × 1.14 in, this blackout phone charger lives in a drawer or on the counter — not in a basement generator room. Fill it before hurricane season. Lithium polymer, 99Wh, certifications CE/FCC/RoHS/MSDS/UN38.3.

Sun as extra phone time, not the only refill

The integrated panel provides up to 300mA of supplemental charging in direct sunlight, which can extend remaining power for another round of alerts. Fully charge via USB-C first. Need more solar? Pair a 40W, 60W, or 100W Portable Solar Panel or the Solar Power Bundle.

How to keep the phone alive when the power is out

Charge the bank first. Then charge the phone, not the other way around.

Before the outage: USB-C recharge in about 4 to 5 hours using the included short high-current cable. Put the bank next to the phone you use for emergency alerts.

During the outage: plug the phone into USB-C with a PD cable when you need maps and messages. Dim the screen. Use wireless when you want a one-cable-free top-off. Share USB-A with a second household phone. The product page also mentions up to 8 days of power on a single recharge; that is not a measured household-outage phone-runtime test.

How outage phone charging works

Wall → bank → phone → optional sun

1. Fill the bank on grid power. USB-C input: 12V/1.5A, 9V/2A, 5V/3A. About 4 to 5 hours. Micro-USB input: 9V/2A, 5V/2.4A. A 65W wall charger is sold separately. Current ship timing for this product is on the product page.

2. Run communications from the bank. Same USB-C table for output. Dual USB-A for a second phone or USB radio. Wireless 10W / 7.5W / 5W. Up to three devices at once.

3. Stretch runtime in daylight. Built-in 300mA/h panel. Add a foldable panel or the Solar Power Bundle for more harvest. If you also need lamps or AC, add the 300W Portable Power Station Max (300W / 600W peak, 256Wh LiFePO4) and keep this bank on phones.

How to get the most phone time in an outage

For best results: Fully charge via USB-C before the storm. The integrated solar panel provides up to 300mA of supplemental charging in direct sunlight, helping extend available power for phones.

Need more solar or AC? Pair a 40W, 60W, or 100W Portable Solar Panel, or the Solar Power Bundle. For AC-powered devices, choose the 300W Portable Power Station Max.

Built for the outdoors: IP66-rated protection helps guard against rain, splashes, dust, and everyday conditions. It is not designed for submersion.

Wireless charging: Works through most compatible phone cases. For the best connection, remove metal attachments, magnetic rings, wallet cases, and cards before charging.

Device charging estimates: Phone and tablet charge estimates are based on the listed devices using a compatible PD fast-charging cable via USB-C. Actual results vary based on device, battery condition, usage, temperature, and charging method.

Travel ready: The 26,800mAh / 99Wh lithium-polymer battery is designed to meet TSA limits for carry-on portable batteries. Airline and international travel rules can change, so please confirm current requirements with your airline before flying. For additional guidance, see KEUTEK’s flying guide on our blog.
