As per title want a powerbank for winter sessions,. Will be using one of those Solar cushion things, and obv power for tablet, phone etc. No more than 48hrs. Looked at RM/Fox offerings but don't think they offer anything high output Amazon type PB's do other than 12v ,which I don't need. Am I right in assuming this? Suggestions please TIA

I've got Anker ones from Amazon, they're really good, 5200mAH lasts me a 24 hour session but I've only got my phone. You can get a 20000mAH one for about £30, get one of them, see how you go on with it, you can always buy another if it doesn't last you.

Hi Goose... That's a good question.. already have a 3.7v /26800 , but it's on its last legs, and charge drops off faster than I'd like. No idea how much power one of those Solar cushions draws, but I'm after enough juice for a night's use at least, with a bit to spare.... have another 15K Anker somewhere.

OP. May I ask what is the Solar cushion you mention?

Before you ask..Solar heat pad thingy....yes I'm a wuss.!!But I do have lower back issues that benefit from a spot of heat.
Must say, I've never come across the Solar Heat Pad thingy before, are they any good? (Sorry to go off on a tangent!!)

No idea...Santa's supplying it ! It sounds like it could be a solution for my back ache though, or an alternative to a hot water bottle?.

Cool, I'll ask you in spring because I also have back issues, old age I think.

I had one, sent it back. Not he greatest design and would switch off as the button can easily be pressed. No difference in heat between the three settings. Didn't get very warm either. USB cable is also very short.

Really I'm pressed with this

Bivvy light and power bank solar powered as well
My brother bought one as well and was delivered Saturday he said the solar panels work and charge the phone up as well via sunlight
I will check on mine as soon as I get home but impressed so far

Only 8000mah so on chance of charging a typical smartphone 4 times as stated in their specs, unlikely even twice. The solar may show charging but I suspect that is joint battery and solar, but can't see any specs of the panel and would guess it will be next to pointless like all tiny panels like that.
However, happy to be wrong if actual use works for you

Hope the NGT works fine but I have one of these, the Leds blink to give the appearance that it is charging but it doesn't matter how many days you leave out in really sunny days it does not charge one little bit. The reviews back that up.
Works fine when plugged in to mains electricity.

My brother texted me yesterday to say he left his in the sun and it charged up so I'm not sure what else to say
