Hey guys. I'm after a new power pack/bank for when I'm doing 3 night sessions. What do you guys recommend? It will literally be just to charge my phone. Thanks

I use anchor power pack and will easily last 3 days. Will charge an iPhone around 10 times and only cost just over 20 quid

I use one from curry's only cost me £45 and is more powerful than the ridge monkey which costs loads, my freind uses a powerpac atom that's a serious bit of kit but is a bit over kill for what you need

Any of the 20,000+mah chargers from Amazon for £20-£25 will do a phone for 3 days easily. I charge my phone as much as I need plus maybe my iPad once (in winter with 16hr nights) and still go home with some juice in it.

Ravpower PD Power 20,000.
Been using for a while for work, and travelling.

It has usb c/lighting and micro usb inputs for charging the unit itself.
It has 2 x USB A, one being QC and a USB C PD as outputs.

Always has a handy LCD display to see how much juice is left.

I bought a —- Smtqa Power Bank Portable Charger 26000mAh [with LED Digital Display] —- from eBay for £20 plus change. It does my iPhone 7 eight times or iPad twice.. before that I was lugging around a blooming great lead acid battery which weren't charging as much.

Yes power packs are there but there is nothing that's more powerful than the RM at less than a third of the price.

If there ever was Oldgeezer would of had a link up a long time back.

Really? What Ridgemonkey one are you talking about?

Not particularly a Ridgemonkey fan myself, I've got to say the one they sell for £200 is a real life saver. Have had the puny little packs and found them wanting. They are okay if you want to charge a phone a couple of times but if you want to charge say a light or power a power hungry camera they're not that great, plus, if like me you forget to charge the things, the Ridgemonkey had loads in reserve. Yes they're crazy expensive though they do the job very well.

Well the one in my link will charge most smartphones at least 5 times. and its got fast charge tech too thats plenty for a few days fishing
and not being rude but if you forget to charge it before you go I think you must be a bit special

I've got 2 of those and they are good, but for future proofing I'd say go for a pd version as a lot of devices now need it, cameras laptops etc. I bought the anker one mentioned in a previous post to power a camera but I'm sure there are loads available now

I've always used Anker and they have been more than adequate for charging my phone for 2/3 days . If i go for longer (which is rare) then I also have the Anker solar charger that is very good for charging the power pack and phone . Most of those mentioned sound very good though and I wouldn't have a problem using these . I'd find it hard though to justify £200 as mentioned .
