I have two anker power banks. Both about the size of a pack of cards. I can get 7 charges of my phone from 1 power bank. Normally only take one with me. 100% recommended

What sort of mAh are you lads going for? I've got a phone, torch and bivvy light that's all I'd charge what would do me over 48hours

Ravpower , Anker or EC Technology . All 26800mah so i suspect all come out of the same factory .. I've got a Ravpower and an EC Tech , never let me down and keeps my phone and tablet fully charged on a 3/4 day session.

Personally I would make sure that it had FAST CHARGE tech for your phone and I would go for 26800 size I have 2 both EC Technology one is the 26800mAh and the other the earlier 22400mAh model
I have recommended these to lots of my metal detecting friends that use them to charge their metal detectors up on weekends and lots of fishing mates have them if you check on Amazon you will see reviews from actual users
EDIT
I did have one mate that rang me and said is not fast charging his phone ?
it turned out he wasnt using his phones lead but the recharging lead that came with the charger once he used his actual phone charging lead it fast charged

Gibbalicious, if you're doing 48 hours and you're only using a bivvy light, torch, and phone and you make sure you've charged them before you left home look at the Imuto Taurus X4 Smart Power. It would keep you going even if you had to recharge all 3 devices on the bank. It's the size of an iPhone 6 just twice as thick. You can get the 20000mAh version for £20 and you can charge two devices at once.

I'll take a look at them all. I don't always trust the reviews on amazon, do you really know who could be writing them. Would always rather ask around than trust a yank website 😬

The fast charge on the anker 1 would deffinetly be enough to keep me going? My phones pretty good for charge I generally get about 30hours or so out of it as it gets put to one side soon as the bivvy goes up. If I had the charge option though I may bring my ipad for them freezing cold winter sessions.

I would get at least 5 charges for an iphone out of the Imuto. Again, of you're doing 48 hrs you'll be fine with an iPad, bivvy light etc.

That's good to know I'll get one of the reasonably priced ones. See how I go with it 😁
