Thread: Powerbank recommendations

Agree about the cheaper all-in-one solar ones. The smaller solar panels are underpowered, their output is too low to be really useful. Plus leaving a lithium battery bank out in the sun while charging with is a serious fire hazard IMO. Better to have a dedicated power bank with a separate good-sized solar panel so you can stash the power bank in the shade while the solar panel is out in the sun.
I got this power bank: http://www.noelleeming.co.nz/p/tech....y/N213983.html
It has 30000mAh capacity, kept my phone and thermal spotter and some of my mates' gear charged for a good week in the bush and still had a bit left over. Not light though, about 700g, and may be too big to take on a plane (not sure about that??).
