which power bank?
sorry another "request for recommendation" post...
So I've decided to ditch the Spot and instead utilise my phone a bit more especially to start taking more photos as it has a nice camera.
Any recommendations for a semi decent power bank please that I might get a couple of charges out of on trips? Preferably one able to take the odd bump and use in "Welsh weather" but is still reasonably small and light.
cheers

Re: which power bank?
Zendure A2 for me - proved faultless / idiot-proof so far. Feels very solid but not overly weighty.
May the bridges you burn light your way
Re: which power bank?
I have a tecknet 15000mha
http://cpc.farnell.com/tecknet/iep1500/ ... dp/BT05947
It says up to 8 charges of most smartphones. I've never tested it to depletion but its certainly done 3 of mine. My phone can last two days on airplane running strava and maverick mapping app, plus photos.

I may invest in one of these
ZNEX NOTSTRØM XT | 6800mAh Waterproof External Battery https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0171VJDWG/ ... JAbYF8ECN3
Hopefully will last in the rain.

I've got an Anker Powercore 10000, £20 on Amazon. I did have 2 but one has proved to be sufficient so gave one to a friend.

Re: which power bank?
But Dave I keep killing batteries, the last one in one trip as I left a bag open and flooded it, I suppose I could wrap it in a bag or just be more careful.Dave Barter wrote:£62 for 6800mAh ..I'm out

Re: which power bank?
I use Anker.
No problems yet.
Whilst not TLS, consider two small packs rather than one large.
Not much extra weight but gives redundancy

Re: which power bank?
This is mine. As mentioned in a couple of threads about this place. Charges my edge 500 fine.

Re: which power bank?
Nigel turned his nose up at my choice of powerbank in the past, but balls to him.
I usually carry 2 of these bad boys. Except I think they were on offer at £7.99 each when I bought them. Been using them regularly for over a year and they're still going strong.

Re: which power bank?
+1 for the Zendure A2. Through-charging. Solid.
