Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a cheap power pack / bank upto about £50? I only fish for 24 hours / 48 hours absolute max so doesn't need to be anything special

Thanks!

I've always used an anchor power pack. Think I paid £25. Will charge my iPhone 10 times and the headtorch if needed. Had it couple years so paid it's way already.

Another vote for anker, got a 25k mah one for £20 that's sufficient to charge my iPhone 11 Pro several times so plenty for a 2/3 day session. The ridge monkey one is so overpriced for what it is IMO

Cheers. Missed that.
I got the 20k anker for about £25 and it seems sound but only had it a week.

I have 4 anchors my first one was purchased 11-12 years ago and is still doing a grand job. Highly recommended.

I have two 26000 mah which live in my kit bag I can rotate them one in the car being charged etc however using the two allows me several hours of tv per day for a couple of nights if I can't be bothered going back to the car.

and a customer Xmas give away cylinder one I use with a my vap pen.

I recently bought a Charmast 23800mAh one from Amazon to replace an ageing, lesser capacity one of a different brand. They're currently about £25 but often have vouchers available to bring it down to £20.

So far after a dozen or so uses, it's been great. Can probably get 4/5 full charges of a Pixel 4a 5G before it needs a top up. The main reason I chose it, is because it has multiple outputs and one of them being USB-C power delivery, so I can fast charge.

If any of you use makita 18v tools, they make a USB charger that clips onto the 18v batteries.
Think I paid sub £20 for mine.
Not sure how they compare to a stand alone power bank but I get lots of charges out of a 5 or 6 AH battery.
Could be an option if you already have the batteries.
Are you sure?

Yes, continue
