Question Portable Power

Hi,

Can anybody here recommend a portable power pack - the type you use for charging mobiles on the go?

I'm going to buy one soon - found lots but wanted some real world experience / advice on the best one.

Thanks
Lee

Re: Portable Power

I have these 2. and would recommend them. they might be a bit expensive but you can buy cheaper ones but probably not as good or not enough capacity.

I Use the first one mainly. can use it for things like satnavs and whatever too.
2nd one has a little torch built in.

You just plug your usual USB charger lead into it.

Re: Portable Power

If you have a Lidl local to you they're doing a solar charged Li-ion battery unit (2200 MHr) for £12.99 from this Thursday with leads. Might be worth a look.

Just checked it out....na - I'll give that a miss. I need something that I can put in a pocket / bag and charge up the phone.

Any other power bank / battery bar manufacturers that people know of?
