If you want the safer, simpler option from a well-known charging brand, the Anker 313 is an easy pick. If you want more features for the money, the Charmast may be the better everyday portable charger.

This is what I use. It runs my S50 all night with the dew heater. In the morning, it’s still at more than 25% and the S50 is still at 100%.
