Hi Guys,
currently using a Ridge Monkey but not mega impressed with battery life, after something really long lasting for my MacBook as working while on bank.
Cheers

Hi mate, got that and not impressed for the Mac.
Seems to drop power charge really quickly and I make sure its fully charge before I start a session.
Lets hope someone can help us.

I'm amazed at that. Ive got one that I use for fishing and work and it hardly ever needs recharging. For example last week it was fully charged, I charged a gas analyser from the 12v socket which took three hours, then i charged a head torch, a usb torch and my iphone twice and it only dropped 25%.
As a test i fully charged the monkey and then plugged in a decent sized Halfords cool box, they draw a stupid current that really requires a constant 12v supply from a running vehicle. Even that ran for four hours before flattening off the monkey pack.
This is the smaller C-vault. The 40,000 thingy.

If your mac is power hungry and you want to use it for a few days then you either need a second, perhaps larger capacity power pack (which is what you are asking ) or a solar panel that will put some charge back into your battery.
Have you any specs on what power your Mac uses and what capacity power pack you have?

A 2600 power pack wont last 5 mins. He already has one with twice the power of the one you mention and its not enough.

Are you sure you have the big c smart vault and not the older type?
I have the Ridgemonkey Vault C-Smart 77850mAh and run my MacBook Air via usb c charger and it's been fine, I use a lot of power constantly on the iPhone X, I had the footy on an iPad all day Saturday and worked on my MacBook Air at the lake and it still had over half left when I left Sunday
