Allpowers Portable Solar Generator - 372Wh/105000mAh
This will let charge your phone 20+ times on a session, or from fully charged on a 4+dayer, your phone, tablets, lights, camera and bait boat numerous times and still not be flat when you pack up. Expensive but you get what you pay for.

I own the 80000mah ridgemonkey power vault and very happy with it. No doubt more expensive then it should be but its rugged, has fast charge capabilities which i needed to keep my surface pro charged as work from the bank now and again.
For my phone does a full charge in an hr which is as good as my mains fast charger. If you only want to charge your phone 2/3 times a session they do smaller models also. Probably won't be a popular choice on here but can't fault it myself. Even on a week session not even come close to use half of its capacity

I bought the Yobon 30,000 mAh last year, happy with it up to now. Was on offer for £18 at the time.

I got this after a recommendation by Oldgeezer on here and am pleased with it so far. Was a little heavier than i expected though but maybe they are all heavy?

How does the 77k mah RM power pack compare to 3 x 30 mah charge packs that have been mentioned? Certainly cost benefit analysis?

Can't tell you pal as don't own the other options. I have bought a cheap amazon power pack in the past and it was terrible. Never kept its charge and took all night to charge my phone. In cold weather would just drain itself lol.
Im not saying the other mentioned packs are bad as never used them but all i can say is the RM is built to last (which isn't normally a concept I would label under the RM brand). Mine is 2 years old now and still works like the first time I used it. Even not using it a few months when tried charging it was still basically fully charged from previous charge.
Sure there are better or cheaper options out there but for me ticks all the boxes i wanted. As mentioned for laptops etc with 45w charging power easy to use the usc c to charge any laptop with the correct lead. Phone charges silly quick and the latest revision incorps wireless charging.

I have 4 of these and they are spot on for running everything on a week long session.

It will charge at 45W, meaning meatier devices like laptops. People knock the Ridgemonkey chargers as being heavily ‘carp taxed', but if you understand the specs then there is actually very little out there non carp that compares for the same money.

I've been trying to find a 96k fox halo but nowhere seems to have any? Are they that good or just not many produced?

If you own any 18v makita batteries or dewalt do a charger pak to plug onto 18volt batteries that costs about a tenner possibly fifteen quid these days they work pretty well as do all the Anker ones which i have used in the past, and they also last a good while too.

RE maybe they are all heavy?
Well the higher the power capacity the heavier they will be
the £26 one I linked too is very powerful and if its only needed for FAST charging your smart phone or charging you Tablet for a long weekend it will be perfect it is capable of charging my Samsung S9+ galaxy 6 to 7 times

Got one of these the other day off your recommendation, early impressions are very good, time will tell I suppose, but it does come with a 3 year guarantee, which as I'm a bloke I'll forget that in about 4 days

Yes I use my phone and tablet a lot, for example I usually use my phone as an Hotspot and watch the football on the tablet.
that drains both batteries at the same time thats the reason I have 2 of them now but most sessions only take one, unfortunately I cant be out On longer sessions at the moment

I use lots of power on the bank and have the big RM power pack I sometimes work on the bank and can charge my macbook via the usb- c port additionally if its a weekend Ill pretty much run my ipad off my hot spot all day on a saturday and watch the footy - I also use a bluetooth bose speaker and an apple watch rm lights etc that ill recharge plus if needed and it will do it all and easily last me a few sessions between charges
If Im doing a short session for convenience Ill just take a small anker one to do my phone

I have two different 26800mah ones from Amazon, both were around £25. I rarely go through one on a 48hr session, I tend to listen to podcasts a lot so just leave my phone charging whilst they're on. iPhone 12 uses around 20% of the capacity for a full charge, iPad Air 4 around 40%.
Depends what you're charging really, if it's laptops and TV's then you'll probably need something bigger. If you're living in the modern world and do everything on a phone and tablet then a couple of those are more than enough for a 4-5 day session.

I bought this to supplement my previous (and still working brilliantly) pair of 28mh Ankers - I'm always forgetting to take the right cables (USB B / C / Micro) for different devices so this makes life easier for the all important mobile as its wireless charging . . .£28
Wireless Power Bank 33800mAh

Another vote for the Fudgemonkey from me. The 45w usb-c is the reason I bought it. So I can run a chromebook for work and a couple of iPhones and a wifi hotspot on a trip and still be able to charge a light, radio and walkie talkie etc. Yes it's expensive, but when I looked around I couldn't find anything of similar specs at the time. Had it a couple of years now without any issues.

I use a deben tracer 24000 mah, pricey but keeps a laptop charged whereas small anker types wouldnt.
If its for phones and smaller items your ankers are fine. For heavier duty ie laptop then deben tracer and higher spec ridgemonkey do the job.

I use an Anker power bank, it was only about £20 but charges my phone a few times no problem.

Angler have just released a 256kwh power station for £250. Looks decent for the money.

I have 2 x 10,000mah Ankers and also the 76000mah Ridgemonkey to charge my Macbook (60w output). Would recommend both!
