Don't let your Steam Deck die during a boss fight over the holidays — grab these Cyber Monday power banks and chargers

Chargers plug into power outlets to recharge gadgets, whereas power banks have built-in batteries to store electricity to recharge most of those same gadgets.

Power Banks don't require power outlets to recharge a device, so they can be useful in areas where they're not available, like in the wilderness, cities during a power outage, or planes/cars/boats.

Although Power Banks will need recharging as well at some point, it's best to use them only in situations where power chargers can't be used.

Wattage (W) measures the power output of a device, whereas mAh (milliampere-hours) measures its battery capacity. So, the higher a charger or power bank's wattage is, the faster it will recharge your Steam Deck and other compatible devices.

Also, the more mAh a power bank has, the longer it will last. For example, a power bank with 20,000mAh can last for several days or possibly a week before needing to recharge.

You can safely leave your Steam Deck plugged in while playing, but it's not recommended that you leave it plugged in 24/7 while not in use, as the excess electricity can stress and wear down the gaming handheld's internal batteries over time.

Yes. All these chargers and power banks can be used with multiple devices with USB-C or USB-A connections like laptops, MacBooks, mobile phones, and other gaming handhelds like the ASUS ROG Ally or Lenovo Legion Go.

Cyber Monday is a shopping event that happens after Black Friday, where retailers host discounts primarily on electronic goods like video games, video game consoles, PCs, laptops, and various accessories related to them.

It depends on your needs. Cyber Monday is primarily relegated to digital stores and focuses heavily on discounting electronic products (some of which are cheaper than seen on Black Friday).

However, Black Friday is more widespread as the event applies discounts on all kinds of products like toys, clothes, and even food, not just tech goods. Plus, retailers these days don't wait for Black Friday and often start hosting deals throughout November, instead of only a few days near Cyber Monday.

If you're looking for a discount on electronic goods, Cyber Monday is for you, whereas Black Friday is more catered to a wider range of products.

Cyber Monday has officially begun today, on December 1, 2025. There will be plenty of electronic goods on sale for the day, and some deals may persist days after Cyber Monday is over.
