EE Powerbars now live

[MJP]

£20 version - https://accessories.ee.co.uk/product/details/1008032/Glastonbury_Power_bar_2019/Juice//

£35 version - https://accessories.ee.co.uk/product/details/1008033/Glastonbury_power_bank_2019/Juice//

The more expensive one is allegedly 3x the capacity of the tube.

Not sure if in previous years they had an option to collect at the festival?

I might leave it until I get there as I might be fine this year, but it is handy to have at least one charge a day bagged.

How are the queues for swapping them?

very fast moving, no longer than 5-10 mins during the day

Well, if you swap it on Weds, Thurs, Fri, Sat & Sun, I guess it's 50,000mAh of power.

That's like... 15 charges? No one man should have all that power.

Yes although buy it yourself and don't get it as a gift as people have a tendency to vandalise the logo.

(Thanks mum!)

[Avalon_Fields]

Never yet queued to charge by phone in 13 Glastonbury's, and always had some power, mixture of Anker/Belkin power packs.

I used the power bars previously and find them to be great.  I also have a big charger, which I keep in my tent, but for being able to get a days worth of charge in your pocket I heartily endorse these products

Do you know if you can buy these at the festival or do you have to order online and bring it with you? I can't see any information on the links. 

[Mr.Tease]

Does anyone else remember the first year the festival had 'power bars'? They were being sold from little stalls, and used normal duracel type batteries- I remember my friend desperately trying to recharge his phone with them- the first one broke, the second might have given him half of of bar (think they promised you could get enough power to send a text!)?

He Man gets a pass because the Power of Grayskull is a lot but he’s literally the only person who needs to be constantly swapping chargers.

Castle Grayskull is an absolute bastard to get reception though.

[cdm22]

Yeah, i'll think i'll just stick to the £21 25000mAh one I bought this week. 

[jow95]

Bollocks to the power banks where is the app EE?!

[Gnomicide]

Can't swap old ones.

The bastards.

[MJP]

I get why they might not be able to charge older models - out of warranty etc, but it seems like a massive waste of materials to force people to buy a new one if the old one is still working.
