Looking to lighten the load and go back to a small EC Technologies type power pack.
I've got a couple of these "Amazon" jobbies but neither will charge my Samsung phone via the USB C fast charge.
Can anyone recommend one that will work.
Cheers

I have an Anker 10000MAH power charger which will charge my Samsung A52 happily about 1.5 times per full charge. Perfectly adequate for a 48hr session and weighs very little. Not too expensive either. Would recommend.

These have been on offer a couple times recently, the second one I purchased a couple weeks ago was £11 something

Thanks chaps I will have a look at your recommendations. The 2 I have would charge my Samsung S10 but not my new S22. I guess the demands of the phones must have increased. I need USB C outputs plain old USB's are a 6+ hour charge.

I bought a 10,000mah from Aldi;s when they had them on "Specials" about a couple of years ago for £14 I think (may have been cheaper). It would charge my phone 3 times and I was that impressed with it I bought a second one as I have other uses for them and would prefer 2 smaller lighter ones than a heavy one.

Two of them will keep my phone topped up for a week easily and I also use them to recharge the tablet, Deeper, head torch and radio if need be. Looking at reviews they get very good ones and some people say they are the same as the Anker, but I don't know.

Next time they are on "Special" again, I might buy a third one.

I have 3 of the Anker 5200mAH ones, they are decent and unlike some I've had from Amazon, they just keep going - I've had them several years now. By having several smaller ones, you can adjust the number you take dependant on how long your session is.

I have a couple of Anker 16500 power banks and even with multiple items and high phone use I can manage to fully discharge just one of them over a 48 hr session.

With more relaxed use they nearly have enough for a weeks session.

Cygenett are a very good alternative to Anker. Their an Australian company who specialises in power, just like Anker. Either of those and you won't go far wrong.

Since my recent attempt at buying a cheap power block from China has just ended with a refund after 2 months im after recommendations. I will be fishing for 3 nights at a time so will need something thats going to charge iphone, ipad and possibly my mozzie zapper, bivvy lamp etc. so need something with a bit of oompf! Needs 2 USB-A outputs as well.

Yeh, will prob go for an Anker but just wondered what other people are using. I guess the higher the MAH the more juice it can hold?

Hoping you realise the solar charging is little more than a gimmick on this and it's unlikely to be the quoted MAH etc. However, it could be OK lol
