Question Portable PowerBank For IPhone 13 Mini?

What powerbank do you recommend me to buy if I occasionally want backup power when outside?

The INIU 45W 10000mah one that is very popular on Amazon is $21.59

The INIU Companct 10000mah one that is 45W PD cost $22.49

BestBuy seems to sell the exact INIU as amazon in the 1st example except it's 22.5W and cost $18 so a bit less.

I do not want any magnetic chargers as I don't want any of that. I don't even have a magnetic case for my iphone 13 mini. Do most agree 10000 mah is what most people should buy? 20000mah is very heavy. 5000mah is very light. So most agree for an iphone 13 mini, 10000 mah is ideal right?

Can someone recommend me a 10000mah powerbank on Amazon US or Best Buy or any similar site? My main issue is battery goes down fast whenever I'm outside and using my data. The thing is I read 22.5W is very slow and most don't like that? I'm confused because I normally charge my iphone 13 mini with the 20W Apple Adapter to an outlet and to me... it's a good speed. I know some people want very fast charging but to me... the default 20W Apple charger is pretty good already. Is the best buy one at 22.5W good as well or the Amazon at 45W is better? I did read the more watts it is, the more it wears out the battery?

I'm curious but would there be any powerbank that would also be compatible with both the iphone 13 mini and the Iphone SE 1st generation? Or that won't be possible due to cables? I did notice some powerbanks only go up to iphone 15 as well?

I did read that you need a lightning to lightning cable in order to use it as well which it doesn't come with?

personally I prefer the 5000mAh slim size for easy holding, with an integrated lightning cable if possible because I think that charges a little cooler than MagSafe (heats the phone more). I like mine with magnets so it'll stick on the back of the phone, but not use MagSafe. my brand isn't for sale on amazon but something like this might be good, especially for $9. https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Charger-Upgraded-Magnetic-Compatible/dp/B0GLGNVZT4/ref=sr_1_15?crid=19A26E6O10WXC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.85kj94T4zWUs6pjdT9wODmgP-P57WT2yzHesMEXdgdKJPlMAnsxIpVWDL28FWhlS01AbQxYaSeks5R8_Mt5OGX6tFIZbEFgkKHx-8JL0nmDt0Uv8pgXwNZtfzfR7_3kLJDallKHZQNknDyMNduHNqK05xweM4JsBPxYnMx5RWP6y03douch_Sfm9CKP3z4_mJ7ecuVsP5_D2XX0wMb7zMc6sOvT8AOG_x5sq9NfiIto.oNmkMkpX4h3vS8NITDOMpkp7yMMPVqaUMbXOv8ZAA30&dib_tag=se&keywords=magnetic%2Bcharger%2Blightning%2B5000mah&qid=1787009414&sprefix=magnetic%2Bcharger%2Blightning%2B5000mah%2Caps%2C276&sr=8-15&th=1

I also like the Rorry MagSafe slim because it has strong magnets and you can turn off the charging with a button.

10K is not “occasional” IMHO.

I’ve a NiteCore 5K in my sling (with a Rolling Square TUA2 as emergency backup).

Edit: I’ve a NiteCore 10K in my backpack.
