Looking for recommendations for a small/light power bank to charge an S10, with as little drain as possible when not in use.
I don't know what the largest capacity is that would be suitable, as a lot of the large capacity ones seem to be physically large and heavy. I'm just needing something to keep in the backpack in case of emergency to get me through a day. Want to be able to take it on the plane as well.
Thanks!
Thanks for the quick reply :) At the moment, I've got an old Panasonic 2850mAh, so anything's going to be an improvement on that - but, it's nice and compact. A single charge should be plenty, it's more for those odd occasions when I'm out and need an extra 30% to get me through the day.
Good to know the 5000mAh one won't do quick charge though - I guess a trade-off if I want more portability vs. the 10,000mAh one.
Why not both :) I own both and I frequently carry the small one as 'emergency' but for planned trips and journeys I will swap out the small one for the larger one.
There are also fast charging 5000mah powerbanks such as the Samsung one as linked below by bdl.

I like the Xiaomi 10000mAH ones with the QC2.0 input/output, as well as the Anker PowerCore 10050+ that also has QC input/output. Lately I've been using the Samsung charger I got from this deal. It also has QC input/output but what I really like is that is charges using USB-C, so I don't have to carry a micro USB cable with me. Best part? It was free!

Thanks all for the recommendations, I've been having a good look at them, but they all still seem quite large (surface area) :/ Anything I've found under 10cm long also doesn't seem to be available in AU, or it's a dodgy looking brand that would probably explode in my pocket!
I use the LAMAX 10000 mAh Quick Charge and I am very satisfied with it. But I think most of the above-mentioned power banks are at a similar level so you will not make a mistake buying one…
Mi Power bank 2s for less than $18 delivered is probably the best value powerbank that you can buy currently. It is the cheapest 10,000mah powerbank that also does quick-charging.

There is a much slimmer 5000mah Xiaomi powerbank that will easily fit in a pants pocket and you can charge your phone while carrying both the device and battery in the same pocket (useful if you aren't using a bag) but 5000mah will only charge an S10 once, and it won't be a quick charge either sine it's limited to 1 amp.
