what people dont realise is many of these ah comparisons dont often mean anything most of them are false plus they will be at 1 or 2 vaults.The ridgemonkey is at 5 and is no comparison with these cheap ones .Yes its expensive but it has massively more actual charging power .I bought the first ridgemonkey and it runs my tv for days it really isnt a comparison really.These small cheap ones are great for what they do and fit in your pocket the ridgemonkey is a different anima land yes is overkill if all you want is to charge your phone a few times

If it is just for charging usb devices this is severe overkill and a huge waste of money. There are lots of genuine pocket powerbanks like anker that are true capacity and worthwhile if all you need is 5v charging (the ridgemonkey also has 12v)

Anker 20000mah for £28 you could have 5 of these

Anker 10000mah for £13.59 you could have 11 of these

I've had the 20000 anker one for a few years and found it flawless for one and two night sessions it charges my p30 pro a couple of times and usually recharges my headtorch too if needed with charge to spare.

Only time I struggle. Is if my kid is with me with his power sapping ipad lol but it is nice to watch a film with him on a bigger screen than my phone.

I've got an anker 10,000mah which I keep in my bag at all times but majority of the time I use a makita battery and the USB adapter which fits on top. I can usually get 2 days worth using the makita.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
