Im after a decent large power pack and hope someone on here can advise.

I have the middle sized ridgemonkey and loads of the Anker smaller ones.
Was just about to buy a couple of the big 96000 RM one but it's sold out everywhere.

Ideally Am after something with multiple uSBC outlets
That rules The fox big one out.

It's will be used to run a MacBook Air on the bank for a couple of days non stop.

There are so many on Amazon I don't want to get it wrong!
Would rather spend the dough and get one that will Last for years.

Any replies greatly appreciated.
Thanks MH.

The fox 96k halo power bank has one USB C socket the same as the ridgemonkey vault has one USB C socket

Not sure I trust the Fox ones.
RM never let me down and after 3/ years they are still going strong.

Would rather something different this time with multiple USBC ports.

Had the rm and fox one,the fox is far better especially in cold weather.The rm one dropped charge in cold conditions and then stopped working completely,Fox one has been faultless and had it since release

Good to know and thanks for the reply.
Does the Fox one charge itself via a USBc input into it?

My fox 96K was fully charged in my car trunk from November 2022 to April 2023 without recharging, in April 2023 I was able to charge 11 x my smartphone (S22 plus) and 2 x my tablet (lenovo M10 plus) before the 96K gave 1 red LED (each led represents 25% battery capacity), not bad for a power bank that has been out in the cold for months

From empty how long does it take to charge the FOX 96?

Another vote for fox.

I have the powapacks one and within 12 months of very light use the battery capacity is now at 75%. It simply wont charge above that.

My friend has had the fox for considerably longer and uses it more often and is faring much better.

Mark, I have the fox large power bank and it has been comparable to the large RM bank probably better. I have used it in France for week sessions regularly charging and iPhone, pad, mozzie zapper etc etc and hardly used a third of the charge.

Its a decent bit of kit.
