Belkin usually is a good option

Something 30000mAh +

They tend to be really big

Yeah no kidding, that’s fair.

Maybe something more compact with a punch.. hoping for some good suggestions.

Anker generally has a good cost performance ratio! 🐶🐾🫡

I think generally you should opt for 2x the capacity of your mobile battery. (In case you have to stay out of the house for a very long time and close all risks).

The need for more is based on risk management and portability preferences.

Best way is solar charger power bank with QI wireless waterproof

Wouldn’t that be slow in both directions?

There are models that charge 60 percent in 30 minutes. The solar battery bank is good because you don’t need wires, the only problem is that it’s better not to use the phone while the phone is charging, because it will speed up the charging. I have a normal powerbank, I always have to take a cord and I can only charge my phone 4 times, then I have to charge the powerbank again, imagine if there is no socket, what will you do with an empty powerbank.

What are your parameters? You want something that can keep your phone charged for a a week under heavy video streaming, or you just want something you can forget is in your pocket until you need to top your phone while at the park and don’t want to return to your vehicle just yet?

Like most other things, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Decide what your needs/wants are and we’ll go from there.

I will however second that the Anker brand is pretty great value across their range of products, and top notch customer care.

I like the Anker brand. Good stuff.

DIY - using rechargeable cells 18650 3.7V array!

I was looking at this one earlier. I don’t understand why they put usb a x2 instead or more usb c ?

just ' legacy ' connectivity, like a lot of electronics. you can always buy a couple of usb-a to c cables, important thing is the charge port is c... and anker has been making some solid hardware, in my recent experience...
