Starting this week, Amazon is offering the very popular INIU 20,000mAh 22.5W Power Bank for only $18.89 after you clip the 30% off coupon on the product page. This is a great price for a power bank that features a spacious 20,000mAh capacity and a 22.5W USB Type-C charging output that’s enough to max out the charging rate on the Nintendo Switch. INIU hasn’t been long around enough to develop the same reputation as Anker, but their power banks have been steadily racking up favorable reviews and they’re definitely a lot less expensive than a comparable Anker power bank. This particular model has nearly 20,000 reviews on Amazon with a 4.6-star rating.

The INIU power bank is pretty compact for its capacity, measuring 5.3″x2.8″x1″. It’s also one of the lighter 20,000mAh power banks, weighing in at 12.8 ounces. The power bank features three ports: two USB Type-A ports and one USB Type-C ports. The USB Type-C ports is both input and output and has the highest charging capacity at 22.5W. The Nintendo Switch supports a maximum charging rate of 18W, so this power bank will charge the Switch in the shortest amount of time possible. The 20,000mAh capacity will charge a Nintendo Switch about 2.8 times even after factoring in 60% charging efficiency. That should be more than enough for all but the longest trips. It’s worth mentioning that the INIU power bank also has a little LED flashlight for emergencies.

The INIU Power Bank is TSA-Approved

Spare lithium ion and lithium metal batteries, including power banks and cell phone battery charging cases, must be carried in carry-on baggage only. Power banks must be under either 27,000mAh or 100Whr in capacity. This INIU power bank features a 20,000mAh battery capacity, which is well below TSA’s 27,000mAh limit, so it can be brought onto airplanes without worry. This power bank is small and discreet enough that it’s hard to imagine TSA even noticing the power bank in the first place.
