It’s not bad having a “reserve power supply”. I’m getting more and more interested in this stuff.

I’m glad to hear it.

I like the longevity of these batteries, I have tested their capacity regularly since I’ve had them and they’ve retained a lot of their initial maximum. How long they hold a charge too is a benefit. Batteries are one type of tech that doesn’t follow (quickly or well) the decreasing price to increasing power ratios most other electronics do.

They are awesome invention but if they are lighter, cheaper and able to charge a lot of times, then is good enough. No matter how fancy it is, as long it can function, is all good for me.

I am curious though, don’t you feel like power banks in particular suffer greatly from being two years old (electronics becoming cheaper and better with time after all)? I bought a 11,000 mAh powerbank in Thailand about a yr ago for $30 and it has been amazing. Charges multiple devices to full, or my phone about four times. Great for using it in the forest or something. I’ve also seen 20,000mAh banks these days and they aren’t that big or heavy. I agree with it being essential. I got my phone jacked in Peru and it is much safer to risk a $30 power bank in an unguarded socket than my phone.
