Are these things just a gimmick or are they worth a buy?

    Those pocket sized power banks are mostly gimmicks but you can get a 20k or 30k mAh power bank that’ll recharge your phone 7 or 8 times for like 40 bucks from anker

      Can't take them on planes, though, right? Only 10,000 mAh allowed I think.

        The FAA prohibition is for 100 watt hours or greater size batteries. Generally 10,000mAH for phones should be fine. Different countries have different regulations but I don't know of any that restrict at that size level.

        The tsa and faa websites don’t say anything about a restriction on mah so I don’t think so? It just says they have to be with you in carry on and not in checked baggage
