Iv purchased a few over the years, but I find they don’t last long before they break. Best thing Iv done is get a usb converter for my makita (work) batteries. 2 x 5amp batteries should easily last a week. If you have tools this imo is the best way to go

Week long sessions I use a big leisure battery then attach a 12 v motorbike USB charger to it, you can batter that on a week long session recharging everything and you're still good on the 7th day

I purchased a rebel cell 50ah battery a few years ago intending to use it for my outboard motor but purchased a small clear plastic container with lid and added usb and cigarette outlets to charge things.
Also the extra space in the box I keep all my charging leads,torches etc etc

I went with it as lifepo4 and far quicker recharge, can do 0 to 80% in 30 mins. I had an air pump running off of it yesterday, 3 pin plug instead of mains (test for a later trip) and no issue.
If you'll use the extras it gives you over a standard battery or powerbank then they're great units.

love the look of the bluettie ! that looks perfect for what i need , and also has the better life04 battery inside i read up on the jackery and that has old the lion battery and for thr sake of 50 more that the fox halo think its a no brainer esp charging boat batteries and vape battery charger etc

Save a load of money and buy a lithium leisure battery and an inverter. Will work out a considerable saving.

I wouldn’t focus on Fishing firms for power packs, for Jakery and alike this is their core business so very likely to be superior products

I ended up buying a Powapacs atom (will do 2 charges of my MacBook) plus a solar panel to refill the atom.
So far so good.
If I was buying again, I'd look at the Jackery/Bluetti versions without the carp tax (though TBF the PP Atom has been top drawer since I bought it)

There will be jackery options with huge capacity but they also have inbuilt inverters and chargers that may be overkill for what you want.
I have a bluetti EB3A as needed a 3 pin plug socket for my laptop, it's a great bit of kit and adds a lot of versatility if needed. I can solar charge it in a couple hours of good light, lots of sockets, can charge baitboat batteries off of it etc. But all this is a waste if just wanting to usb charge a phone and bits.

I have the largest fox battery charger, lasted a week in France last September, charging phone, mozzie zapper, bivvy light etc. I still had power left on my return trip home, never charged a lap top or similar but it lasted my needs
