Any suggestions on the best brand powerbanks?
 
Howzit people of HU?

Some time ago we were given a small Sena powerbank to use on charging Sena headsets as a gift. In no time it got used to charge phones and cameras. It actually was quite a damn nifty thing to carry on the bikes with us.

But not 2 years and many charges later its time is up. The question is which are good brands for powerbanks and any suggestion on a small unit that is compact and maybe a 10000-160000mah charge?

i've got a couple of smaller ones I bought from Aldi on one of their tech special weeks a while back. They're in the 5-6000 range which have been good enough for a weekend away - keep the phone / intercom charged etc. They were £8-9 each.

The main one I use though is a no name from Amazon which cost under £20. Its printed logo says Poweradd but that's all. It was advertised as 20,000mah which is about as big as you can take on a plane without being subject to lithium battery regulations (or so I was told anyway). Sizewise it's 15cm x 8cm x 2cm. I've used it loads of times over the last 18 months and it's been great. On our Canada trip last year it kept loads of electronics charged when we couldn't find a mains supply - 2 phones, iPad mini, 2 intercoms, 2 GoPros and + ran our tent light.

One of the more popular batteries is the Micro start from Anti-Gravity.

I own the XP-3 and it's mostly been used to jump start friend's cars. It worked great! I have also used it to re-charge Cell Phones. A full charge lasts long time and several recharge for phones.

It would easily jump start ANY bike.

If you use to Jump start big trucks and cars, it may need to be charged up after a few.

It's a complete kit, comes with several adaptor cables for all sorts of devices.

I've never used mine until dead ... I did use it about half way discharged.
It took less than an hour plugged into power to recharge to 100%.
A nice feature is that if you leave it sitting around unused ... it does not discharge hardly at all if any. It stays at or near
100%. Very handy, worry free.

It's so small and light, it's super easy to take on bike trips. Perfect and it's always part of my travel gear. Anti-Gravity have several other batteries.
Check it all out, see what you think.

this one is pretty popular in UsA, although there are one or two other companies out there.
