Cheap power bank options
Looking for a cheapish power bank for charging a single phone. I have searched but most of the links in the old threads no longer work. I am looking for something cheap, because A - i live in Yorkshire (athough not a Yorkshireman, but it rubs off Very Happy ) and B, because it will be used infrequently.

Cheers Euro-Leafing to infinity and beyond.....

There's loads of stuff on ebay for under a tenner that will charge your phone 2 or 3 times.

The main thing is remembering to keep your powerbank charged!

We have a couple of Anker ones from Amazon - no problems over a couple of years.

I have just bought a EAFU power bank for extended fieldwork. It is compact and charges my iPhone 8s twice. Includes two USB power ports so you can charge your phone and another item (headphones perhaps) at the same time. It charges up quickly and has a % charge indicator.

I do a lot of off-beat work and this is 100% a risk assessors tick when working in remote places.

Very happy with it. £14 on Amazon.

For power banks I would look at Anker brand on Amazon. They are a proper company with customer support and the 2 that I’ve had have been great. I’ve also had some of their other products (headphones, cables etc.) and the quality has always been good. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Definitely second the anker products, have had one that's only just died after about 6 years of reasonable use.

Keep it charged when you leave it for extended periods of time if you're only using it occasionally to make sure the cells dont degrade.
