I have a powa pacs. Seems a proper way to keep your phones and tablets charged. But if you're thinking about using the solar panel as well as the 220, I wouldn't trust the videos that say you'll fully charge in 4 to 6 hours. Better make that 20, and about 40 this time of year.

I have a ridgmonkey power pack I mainly use it for when I'm out lamping as my lamp plugs into it.
It lasts hours lightweight and also charges phone etc via USB port
I will be using it in my fishing this year

Cant comment on other brands but I had the 1st RM vault and couldn't fault it so I upgraded to the all singing all dancing new model as I like the USB-c port that I use with my MacBook and I can work on the bank, the additional USB ports keep my phone, iPad. deeper, ridge monkey lamp etc etc etc all charged and Im yet to see it run empty

Have a look on Amazon for one that isn't labelled up by a tackle company.
I use the Ravpower ones.

Highest capacity on the Ravpower units I can find is 32000mah.
I think the OP is looking for something with higher capacity - I am too, hence checking the RP units out.

What are people charging?
32,000mAh charges mobile phone a fair few times.
For those who are taking them on flights, there is a mAh limit.

The limit is 100 watt hours for having them in carry on baggage they cannot go in checked baggage the mAh is not relevant just the watt hour rating that is from the limitations section of the dangerous goods by air regulations.

Personally, I want a product that I can use to charge my laptop for work.
So the 150w 230v AC O/P on the Powerpacs product is perfect.

How many times can you charge then? Or how long can you run your laptop?

With the capacity of the battery that I have in my laptop and an Atom 78 - 3 full charges - more than enough for what I need.
Will also come in handy for longer trips and family holidays too. Fits my requirements.

Yes and to get a more accurate reading or comparison, if you have the mah rating and voltage then work out the watt hour.
For example a 2400mah device at 5 v is 2400 x 5 then divide by 1000 = 5wh
Same 2400mah at 12v is 28.8wh
