Anker all the way. Very reliable and easily 5-6 charges if not more with the larger one.

I've recently bought a new one from Amazon. It's a Charmast 23,800mAh with USB-C and Power Delivery (I use a Pixel which only fast charges via PD).

Been out twice with it and it seems great so far. It's looking like I should get 4/5 charges out of it before needing to re-charge. Plus it was a decent price (can be picked up for ~£20).

Anker is a monster, a friend highly recomended it and i must agree the 20000 is plenty powerful and very well made.
I am actually thinking about buying the Anker powerhouse u can charge a house with it.

Used Anker for years, but recently just brought a 20,000 ravpower with lcd screen and have to say it's fantastic.

I travel a lot with work and it's saved me a few times, has usb a/c out and usb a/c and lighting in. So have great versatility

Iv used anker for years and think they are fantastic power banks which don't let you down .

I did want a bigger one for week sessions and just bought the outlaw power bank . I can't remember the exact details but I think it was the same power as the big ridge monkey for half the price . So far so good

I got a bluetti eb3a 268WH

It would charge a normal laptop (60w) about 3 to 4 times, else the next model up is twice the capacity and price. I needed this for the same thing, working this week from a lake in France, butt my laptop takes a power brick charge from mains. However, have also charged bait boat batteries for a friend and solar charging it.

If your laptop has usb charging you'll likely get much more options for less money.

Anker products have a lot of pedigree for working with chargers/battery packs etc. they research and produce a lot of very safe products.
Alternatively you could buy a no name / chinese rip off type charger which could possibly be made in the same factory to the same spec.
Personally i would buy an anker one, as i feel the extra expense is in a genuine product with electrical safety built in. Im always wary of buying cheap when you plug something in at home and leave it charging.

Went with the powapac atom pro in end. Need it for Tuesday so couldn't risk somthing not turning up on time on a bank holiday weekend

Tried it briefly, it powered my laptop from dead to 50% and only used 17% of the powapac so hoping basis that it should see me through

Any recommendations for a decent power pack? Looking at a atom power pac or the fox 96k version, 20,000mah isn't enough and doesn't justify the price on the anker ones,

I already have a 35,000mah and with the power consumption on the newer phones you only get 2 charges out of my mates anker pack on a iPhone 14 pro max, I'll be getting the 15 pro max next week so need a decent one to last me seeing I take a iPad Pro aswell

I picked up an Ecoflow River 2 and it's been good. Might be a bit big for you, but I need to charge a laptop for work, along with several smaller items and it's been perfect. It only takes an hour to charge fully from flat which is mightily impressive, it'll charge from the mains or the car, etc.

Buy fishing tackle from a fishing tackle company, and battery packs from a battery pack company. Less chance of being disappointed that way!

Anker/Ravpower/Cygnett etc

But do they do anything that's actually powerful enough? All of them seem to just do smaller power ones nothing big
Are you sure?
