Accessories like portable chargers and power banks are Belkin's bread and butter, so it's no surprise that the brand is currently fielding a pretty large roster of peripherals.

Anker has been an up-and-comer in the accessories space for the past ten years. They haven't quite cracked the mainstream in the same way that Belkin has but if you're in the market for a portable charger or power bank on a budget, then they aren't to overlooked.

Based in Melbourne, Cygnett is an Australian accessories brand that's proven its worth plenty of times over since it was founded. If you like the idea of supporting a local Australian tech brand without compromising on quality, then it might be up your alley.
