Hi all, does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on which power banks are best and good for the price .
Have been looking at this “:type of thing”.....
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204551685297?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=KVlhe-4QR3S&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=_PPYakNtTe2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
But they are quite bulky, so would I be better going with a fox/wolf/ridgemonkey kind of power bank ...??? .. which are obviously smalller the size of a a few decks of cards....
It would only really ever be needed for two nights on the bank realistically and would be used to charge my phone and iPad a few times, and maybe run a tracker fan .. and if I could my small fridge ....
I don't really understand all the different vaultages and amps etc , obviously he higher the ampage I'm assuming the longer it lasts ...
Any advice very much appreciated
Carl

Realistically, if all you want to do is recharge your phone or ipad a few times, you could easily do either of the 2 options
1 - buy a 12v motorbike type battery, 7ah (10ah are only a few ££ more) for around £14 and then a cigarette lighter adapter for a few quid...... Then you have the same as in that bucket without the fancy fitting into the bucket. This will also do your mini fridge if it's 12v.
2 - buy a couple of power banks, 20,000mah regularly come up on offer for around £15 (check in the bargains share the knowledge thread in general discussion)
Other options, lifepo4 12v battery for around £50 ish will be a much better long term option than the option 1 lead acid above or the ebay bucket.
Portable power station, tons of options, but there offer better solar recharge options and addition of 240v 3 pin plug sockets IF they're even of any use to you.
Personally, for you phone, ipad, trakker fan use I'd go for a few power banks. You could have 5 of them for the price of that ebay bucket

im sure people have success with those things. But I wouldn't touch one with a bargepole. Pribabky a cheap lead acid battery and £5 worth of tat. There is no way that is going to stay water tight. I have the big ridgemonkey one, no complaints, and it's very well made. You'll likely never regret having too much power, so get the biggest you can afford.

Look at Amps as the fuel tank, not sure how long that would run a small fridge for, probably better off with a decent cool box for a couple of nights. I've got one of these and it does me for 3 nights no probs for phone and tablet.
