CeriG Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Can anyone recommend a good power bank to charge our phones whilst we are there? weve got to get one anyway for an upcoming trip soon and just wondering what size to get that will charge 2 phones x3 times. we are leaving the kids with my parents so vital we have our phones charged.

Wherethewildthingsare Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 I've got a ravpower 26800 which is fab, probably 5 or 6 full iPhone charges, great for camping/travelling (Amazon) maybe £20? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat2 Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 I have an Aukey 20000mAh, which I have had a for a few years and worked great until it packed up a few days ago, so I ordered an new one this week. 20000mAh will give you 6 or 7 charges, the Aukey has dual outputs so you can charge two phones at the same time. And it has a torch if that helps!. So plug them in when you go to sleep and all is well in the morning Only £20 as well, they are also great in the car. The kids charge their tablets with them when we go on long car journeys. Never had a problem until the last few days when the last one packed up after 4 years of great service!

I have this, its still going strong two years later! Definitely would recommend. Keep an eye out on Amazon black Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie_and_a_pint Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 These Anker ones are fab.

throdd Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Anker chargers, cables, peripherals full stop are brilliant. Biggest capacity you can get and it'll charge your phone every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donthaveacoolname Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 This is the one I've used for the last 2 festivals plus other trips and it's still going strong.

Tartan_Glasto Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Anything over 20,000mAh should do you for the festival if it's just for your phone. I take an Anker one that's about 24,000mAh for the main days then a tiny one that's 5,000mAh I keep separate for the Monday (just in case) though I've never had to use it so far. A tip though. With portable battery packs, don't leave your phone charging overnight as they keep having to top up your phone to 100% constantly as the battery fluctuates. Charge your phone with it in the morning until it's 100% then unplug it. You'll get the most out of the pack that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelius_Fudge Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 If anyone is still looking for a good power bank then check out the Amazon Cyber Monday deals! There's a couple on there with different capacities but it's a good time to save some moolah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddyclark Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Ive got the old one 20000 and an Anker but tempted.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan_Glasto Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 That's the one I use and cannot complain at all about it. Lasts a 5 days festival no problem and that's using an LG phone with a 3000mAh battery which is significantly larger than the size of most iPhone batteries.
