Phones are so good these days that there’s little reason to upgrade every year. In fact, the best Android smartphones and iPhones will last up to seven years, if not more. What needs refreshing are accessories. Amazon Prime Day is a good time to stock up on accessories to give your phone and other mobile devices a new lease on life. But don’t wait: Prices go up after tonight once the sale ends.
Note that from our research, prices on electronics have gone up across the board, and we aren’t seeing deals as good as we have in the past (we’ve pointed those out wherever we can). Still, a sale is a sale, and if you need something, it’s a good time to buy it. Here are some of our recommended products that are on sale right now.

Updated 5:22pm ET October 7: I’ve added additional accessories, including cables and wallets. I’ve also ensured prices are accurate and deals are still live.

Best Deals on Portable Batteries
Anker
MagGo Power Bank (10K) (Qi2)
WIRED’s pick for the best MagSafe portable charger is on sale during Prime Day, but unfortunately, the discount has been fluctuating, and right now, it isn’t the lowest we’ve seen. Still, it’s one of Anker’s newer batteries, and offers a lot that we like, including Qi2 and MagSafe support, a built-in stand, and a status display.
Anker
Laptop Power Bank
This power bank might be overkill, but if you’re looking to recharge multiple devices—including a laptop—this is our favorite option. It’s not the lowest price we’ve seen, but it’s a little lower than average, especially for a 25,000-mAh battery that supports up to 165 watts.
Anker
Nano Power Bank With Instacord
A portable power bank is just one part of the solution; you still need a cable. This 10,000-mAh battery has a built-in retractable USB-C cord and can fast-charge phones and tablets up to 45 watts.
Anker
Nano Power Bank
This 5,000-mAh small battery is perfect for a night on the town or if you want to keep things minimal. It has enough juice for a full charge, and it plugs directly into any USB-C device.
