This is the portable charger I purchased. It's $50 and it has worked perfectly fine so far but I haven't owned it for very long. It takes a few hours to fully charge the Switch but it can be used while the Switch is on.
I have this Anker Power Core that I absolutely fucking love.
It's kinda hefty, but sleek and worth the extra weight. Takes about 10 hours to charge, but it can charge your phone 5-7 times depending on which one you get, and the charge does NOT deplete if you leave it in your car. I had it in my car all summer and winter in Michigan for 8 months, and when i took it out, still showed 4/4 lights of charge.
I use mine a lot in hotels and stuff where the plug is too far from the bed, and I also use it a lot at work and stuff like that.
I've had it for 3 years now and it hasn't lost any battery power, PLUS it comes with two USB ports so you can charge two different things at once.
I've been using it to charge my iPhone X and Apple Watch for the last 3 days to test it out and it still has 2/4 power level bars left. Absolutely amazing.
Electricity is power.
Buy yourself one or two of these and revel in ~~the time you can spend on snapchat~~ the ability to avoid shackling yourself to the power strip warlords. It'll charge your phone 3-4 times so you only have to charge it every other day at worst.
Be careful who knows of your power. Someone will approach you every bus ride to try and mooch if your secret gets out. If you're feeling particularly heartless, you could probably charge snacks for time with your battery. The plight of the common pleb is of no concern to you, after all.
That phone also costs $1000. For $50 I can get a great USB battery and keep mine and someone else's phones charged for that same 6 hours. For the few hundred dollars price difference between that and what I paid for my phone when it was new plus that battery, I'll suffer the inconvenience of having a cable attaching my phone to my pocket.
I do wish I had some sort of nighttime photo mode on my phone, though. The Oneplus community has always been rather upset at the quality of our cameras.
To give you an idea this Anker 20100 is well thought of (TheWirecutter likes it and it has great reviews). I picked it up on Prime Day for $30 and thought that was a great deal.
So basically anything around $30 for a decent charger of this size is a pretty solid deal.
I've got the 20.000 mAh Anker Powerbank , which I really like. Portable but with a lot of power.
I can attest to this one, from the Anker PowerCore series. It’s a bit pricey ($40-$50), but you get what you pay for, and Anker products are reliable.
Should be able to hold 3-4 full iphone 11 charges, and even more if you have an older device.
EDIT: link i forgot about: https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Charger-Anker-PowerCore-20100mAh/dp/B00X5RV14Y
> It's good for 2-3 full chargers
Does that mean you'll have to buy a new one after that? I'm currently shopping for one myself and found one over at amazon for sale
Turn off Bluetooth and wifi, also reduce your screen brightness.
I have a battery I can plug into my phone that will keep it running all day. If you are playing that much, it would be worth considering. Anker has a 20,000 mAh batter on sale at Amazon for $40. This is twice the rating as my battery so it should keep you going for a long time.

Hi! You're in for such an amazing time :) Last year I purchased a cheap solar powered battery/charger off amazon which I failed to test and didn't work...womp womp. This year I have this power bank and I highly recommend it: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20100-Capacity-Technology/dp/B00X5RV14Y It can charge your phone 6-7 times.
Last year one of my crew got a glass handle of liquor in, but I think this was only because it was buried under beer. The website does say no liquor so I'd suggest trying to hide it. Curious if others have been able to get past security wit liquor as long as it's not in glass.
As far as what else to bring--you can never have too many wet wipes!!
I am one of the buyer in US and buy it from TaoBao international, for a little bit overpriced US$360 (Original price was $290). Plus around $50 shipping. Some of the TaoBao sellers ship overseas, but yllwstn is right they don't ship battery due to the restriction. However In US you can get the alternative battery from Amazon, its the same model of the original one and it works for mine. So feel free to ask them if they would take out the battery and ship overseas, I believe they appreciate to do that since they can re-sell the battery ...
Anker is a great, super reliable brand. There's a nice one on Amazon for $40 here
I've been using this one for a few months and it's fantastic. It doesnt take too long to fully charge up itself (I believe around 10 hours), which you will rarely have to do since it will recharge your phone many many times before the powerbank itself dies.
there is like an outlet bank by the lodge people can plug their phones into. i bought 2 portable chargers on amazon and i use them for every fest i go to easily charges a phone 0-100 4-5 times and a go pro a couple times

Anker 20000mah power bank...#1 on Amazon, usually $50-80, on sale today only $26.99...recommended by Ingress players. I just bought one, charges iPhone 6s 7 times and weighs the amount of a soda can...def recommend .
I got my Anker 20k for $25 on Amazon when it was the deal of the day. Normal sticker price is $70, or standard Amazon price seems to be $40. Not sure how much your charge cables are though.
Yeah, I have an Anker one I got for $35 on amazon on Black Friday. It's not too big and it keeps my camera, GoPro, and phone juiced up and doesn't have to be recharged too often.

Anker 20100, USB Micro charger. Always seems to be on sale at Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20100-Capacity-Technology/dp/B00X5RV14Y
The 10000 if you don't want to spend 40-some dollars on it (I've seen it on constant sale and it's dipped down to $32 for the one I showed)
> I paid him around 270-300 usd (but in Swedish currency) a month ago and got it yesterday, so I really cant tell how
I'd recommend ytaopal mate. You just order on taobao with their address and your userid(you create when you register on their site) Then it gets shipped to them. They'll just add a small percentage and either remove the battery or you can send it via dhl with the battery. Battery is only $40 on amazon so make your own mind up on that. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20100-Capacity-Technology/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501302379&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+20100
We have very different definitions of cheap.
This one is much more my speed. I would not trust any of them if Amazon did not have such a good return policy.
My S.O. took a solar-powered charger on his thru-hike of the PCT and ended up ditching it for a battery pack. The A.T. also has a lot more tree cover than its West Coast equivalent, so my vote would be for a battery pack.
I just ordered an Anker PowerCore 20100 two days ago for our 2019 hike and I'm pretty confident in it. It was $50 on Amazon and it has two USB adapters for charging, both at 5V. It's a chonker, though. 12.7 ounces-- but it's also responsible for our trail guide, my reference guides, my music, my photos... everything that we use our phones for... so I'm willing to pay the weight.
My S.O. and I are starting May 1st(ish) and going NOBO as well. Hope to see you out there!

For Geocaching, you'll want to look at Garmin's eTrex, GPSMAP, Oregon and Montana lines. I have a GPSMAP 66 (that, over the last 18 years, has replaced 64/62/Oregon 450/60csx/eTrex). While it's a fine unit, I am finding that I use my iPhone 8 is fine and preferable unless I'm on a long-distance bike trip, where I've got the Garmin clipped to a handlebar.
For Geocaching, the GPS does take time to settle down - this would be analogous to turning on your Garmin. The drawback of a phone GPS is, when they're in high accuracy mode, it's a huge drain on the battery. The most cost-effective solution is to use an external battery pack (like this, though there are many options).
If you decide to go the Garmin route, try the touch screens in person. The screen on my Garmin 450 reacted differently enough from my phone that I found it annoy. When that unit died, I went back to old-school buttons. The eTrex was a nice unit that I would easily get a full day out of a pair of Eneloop (NiMH rechargeable) batteries.
I’ve had one of these for a year or so and it works great.

Anyone looking for a portable battery, Amazon has one on sale today for a good price
As I am writing this, the Anker 20,000 mAH(Yes you read that number right) is an Amazon Prime Deal of the Day at $26.99, instead of $39.99. This lasts for another 11 hours as of 12:44 PM PST
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This one was the deal of the day two days ago.. just look on amazon. You'll probably find some really nice ones. Just make sure you get alot of storage on the battery since you'll never get a 1/1 ratio of charge, so this battery won't be able to charge my iphone 10 times despite the iphone having a 1800 mAH battery.
Just picked up an Anker PowerCore 20100 from Amazon for $40 - that's 50% off the regular price, it will give a phone 4-7 full charges. Seems like a steal.
I may also look at a solar charger - I've heard they're junk, but for $20, it seems fairly low-risk.
This is what I have amazon link
And it looks like the only way I could do USB C to USB C charging is through the input slot on the anker? So correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing my only option is USB A to USB C? Which according to your findings essentially just slows down the battery drain for playing Zelda, yet no actual gain, correct?
This is the batter that ships with the TPCast just buy another one off Amazon.
Amazon carries a whole range of Anker chargers. In picking one you balance the size/weight with the number of charges a charger offers to suit your needs. (A charger that holds more charges will be heavier). This is similar to the one I carry most. It is at the bigger/heavier end of what most need for hiking and backpacking. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_DmjzAb5VAF4HN
Just pick up a battery bank from Amazon for like $45. The white one's like $50 and it more so matches the Go than the black one obviously. They have a smaller more compact battery as well as a larger battery too but it's substantially larger than this.
I maxed out at a 2Ah battery. Fairly big and heavy, but pretty much matches the front heaviness of the Quest.
Amazon does not have the 2Ah that I have anymore, but it is a lot like this one: https://smile.amazon.com/Portable-Charger-Anker-PowerCore-20100mAh/dp/B00X5RV14Y
Anker is not cheap, but they are safe and durable.
I can't find the same anymore, would this be the right replacement?

Wow, excellent info. Thanks! My Anchor chargers [1] have some type of smart logic, but I think that's geared to charge quickly.
I had Cat6 ready to go too, but the battery Cam2's were almost too easy to put in. Amazing.

Not sure what you mean by built in USB-C but I’d highly recommend Anker. I’ve had one for 4 years now and it works just as good as the day I bought it. Admittedly, I don’t use it very often, but due to the high output it has I use it to charge my phone when I’m in a rush as it charges incredibly fast.

Hey I'm not the same person, but i have 2 of this power bank and its really good for me. I generally run through one every 10-14 hours, and if i wanted to, i would likely be able to be in vr 24 hours straight by cycling power banks, and perhaps even go indefinitely, though I've yet to test it.
On the flip side, it used micro usb to charge, and we all know microusb is horrifically unreliable and prone to cord breaking. it is also actually heavier than my quest which can make it uncomfortable, and yes it gets in the way of lying down.
Personally i love it though. And overall i def recommend anker both on a personal level and because they have MANY very good reviews both by big names (Linus tech tips) and customer reviews on Amazon
One other thing to note: i is airlink, but if you run vrc or other apps from within the quest i imagine battery life will be shorter since airlink is more like streaming than gaming. I have not properly tested this either, so don't take it as fact.
https://www.amazon.ca/Portable-Charger-Anker-PowerCore-20100mAh/dp/B00X5RV14Y
I've been looking at charging solutions within this sub and am a bit overwhelmed.
Here's the bottom line:
Sometimes, I fly cross-country. Sometimes, I want to play my Switch at the beach. Sometimes, I have to sit around for 3-4 hours waiting on others.
I don't need a fast charge - I don't need anything thats going to break the bank - I just want to be able to have a backup in case I need to extend the life of my Switch for a few hours.
Is this anker still considered a good buy?

5 hours of heavy use isn’t that bad for a few years old phone. Especially when even my slow charger can get it up to like 60% in 15 or 20 minutes.
My advice is a nice BIG battery bank. I have one of these and it’s great! I can charge my phone multiple times with that thing in just one charge. Whenever I’m not using my phone I’ll plug it in. I’m basically perpetually at 100%. It’s not the ideal case but it’s a decent workaround.
Seriously, save your $, you can run all that on one or two Anker 20,000 mAh batteries. However, for best results, carefully managing device use is always helpful. Turn off at night, use Airplane Mode when possible, avoid GPS full time tracking.
As a backpacker, I can keep a cell phone, an Apple Watch and an MP3 player going for 6 days using a 10,000 mAh battery.
Can anyone tell me if this is a good power bank for the steam deck? Thanks in advance

if you're in china, go to your nearest electronics mart and look around or use alibaba
if you're not in china just buy it off amazon
The officially licensed Nintendo power bank is made by Anker and is based on a model of theirs already out there. The branding on the power bank, where it says Nintendo Switch on the side, is just an aesthetic. You can buy the regular model it's based off for cheaper than the branded one. The regular model is $44.99 on Amazon, while the branded one is $89.99 often. Here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Charger-Anker-PowerCore-20100mAh/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=anker+portable+charger+20100+switch&qid=1564947648&s=gateway&sr=8-8
Make sure you use the $5 coupon code to lower it to $44.99
Oh, awesome! Thanks a bunch for the input! I'll get one and...this will save a lot of space, and the Bluetooth will help immensely...it's gets cramped trying to connect the Arduino to my computer
As far as power, I have yet to see any flickering, I do have 3 power supplies and they input power at 6 different locations (about 125-145 LEDs per input) as I can only run 2amps max per usb output (yes, the coat is heavy). I'm also running at 20% brightness. I did run tests and the most amps I saw was 1.4..but, now that I think about it, I didn't test voltage drop at the end of the strip, was more worried about the coat catching on fire. Anyway, I've been more worried about the soldering and wires getting loose. I did design and 3d print some 'securing devices' to hold the wires and led strip together, which has helped with my limited test. Big test is when I go out to the festivals...if that will ever happen again..
Big thing I did notice with the power, connecting the ground at the very end to the circuit got rid of a problem of the last 300ish leds fading.
Buy a charging brick, something like this, for example. You never know how long you'll end up being away from your room, so better safe than sorry.
Bring a streaming device or gaming console because some hotels have very limited choices for TV channels.
If you're going out of country, check what kind of outlet they use.
Download a bunch of audiobooks, podcasts, or music BEFORE getting in the plane, unless your plane has WiFi (if you want to pay for it, even though it's awful sometimes).
Unless you're renting a car or bringing your own, make sure your rideshare apps are working before you get there. Sometimes they're a huge pain in the ass to troubleshoot on the go.
If at all possible, get to the airport at least two hours before you depart. You can always take a nap between check-in and boarding, you won't be the only one doing it.
If you're going somewhere that speaks a language you aren't fluent in, download Google Translate beforehand. Even if you have people with you that know the language, better safe than sorry.
Mines an Anker 20,000mAh and was $40 off amazon. Per the ad says 4.6 charges for an iPhone X. I have no complaints with it

I use this one, last for hours. but not sure if it would be a good counterweight. Tried it as counterweight once, it seems too heavy so I strap it on my back instead on a back support strap normally. link
Get a battery bank for each piece of equipment. Something like this. You'll have to figure out the power needs and buy the correct size. I use one to power my mom h6 and it lasts forever.
Hi Streetwalker!
​
12W Apple charger would be okay, however I wouldn't recommend keeping the MYLE plugged in for longer than 40 minutes on that thing, as it's a constant power output.
​
The Battery pack I was referring to (Although this applies to all juice-packs) is this one.
​
As for the information regarding the battery and pod versions, The Juice Punk is the Canadian distributor for the MYLE, so this information is passed on to us through MYLE HQ. Hope that was helpful, and let me know if there's anything else I can help clarify for you. :)
Hey there! Personally, I use this Anker PowerCore 20100mAh power bank, and it definitely gets the job done. I personally use an S9+, and while I usually do IRL streams for 2-4 hours I don't run into power problems. The charge on the bank could easily charge my phone completely 3-4 times over. As for the mic, I can't help you there as I don't use one, but I'm very curious to see what kind of recommendations you get for that so I'll stay tuned. Good luck!
I didn't know this was considered big. Also you can practically stick it right under your couch without having to see the wire or power bank. Those things are absolute gimmicky, you could buy a similarly priced couch that has better quality that doesn't have a usb charger.
I bought this of Amazon Au:
It was 59 over black Friday, arrived within a few days as it is sold by "Anker Au"
It didn't come with a charge cable, I have been using the one I got with my pro controller for now while I look in what a "proper" charging cable is.
I have no complaints, but to be fair I am waiting till I do a charge cable to do rigorous testing.
Hope this helps.
I was wondering if this was the non-switch version. As far as I can see it is but just want to make sure.
I just wanted to add that I got the Nintendo Joy-Con Charging Grip and that comes with a USB C to USB A cable that actually charges pretty rapidly - enough that I can play and still have the battery increase. I would say roughly 3 or 4 hours to full charge if asleep, but I have never actually timed it.
I also use this Anker power bank. This past weekend I was in LA with my family and it fully charged our phones (all iPhone 8’s) 5 times and partially charged my sister’s switch before I took it to fully charge my own. After all of that the power bank is still at 50% power.
I fully recommend the official Nintendo USB C to USB A cord (although I am not sure if it is available to purchase independent of the Joy-Con Charging Grip) and the Anker Power Bank (I know they make larger ones with even more charge but the one I linked is honestly more than enough and is the perfect size).
Just my two cents since I was really surprised to read that the OP said it takes 1 hr to charge 10% with USB (and asleep at that) when my switch fully charged in the length of a football game.
Edit: I see now that graphic I was looking at was for in flight outlets, with my Anker I didn’t need those at all.
I found one one amazon. Is this the same one? If not, which is the better buy? amazon
Well, you have to realize that a pack that takes "all day" to charge is high capacity battery that's going to last a lonnnng time. My 10,000 mah battery takes a few hours with a fast charger - but it's enough to charge my phone 4 times (most take around 2500 mah). A small 2000 mah battery may only take an hour or two but it isn't going to last long - it'll charge a phone about once or a little less.
I find that if I'm careful I can get through the full week on about 2 sets off AAs on lights like that, as log as you're dilligent about turning them off when not on use. On a 10,000 MaH battery, you're probably going to get the full week on a single trips. 1-4 ports - doesn't really matter but if you wanna power two strips, obviously you'll need two ports.
10,000 mah battery might get you through the week on two strips though these days you can get a 20,000 pack for barely more. I'd get that. There's a nice one from anker and you can use it for your phone, too. Link here.. It WILL take a full day to initially charge but you'll get like 8 charges on your phone off of that.
... I'd personally just use AAs though.
Found this for half the price and same capacity just without PD.

I can't guarantee anything but you'll probably get at least 4 hours from that if you max both ports.
> I doubt there would be enough usb ports and a sufficient power supply to maintain hours of use with a higher end keyboard and mouse
Why would a keyboard use up much power at all? It shouldn't, no matter how high end it is. Same with the mouse.
All the devices you mentioned should run easily half a day with heavy usage as a minimum by just using a small battery pack made with phones and tablets in mind. For example this Anker power back is enough to power a VR headset (Rift / Vive) with its dual OLED screens, the tracking tech (in case of Rift multiple independent IR LED) and a high quality sound output on top of two independent wireless transceiver (2.4/5ghz and 60ghz) in form of the TPcast wireless solution for around five hours:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X5RV14Y/
Now look at the amount of space in that couch thingy is. You could easily put a few of those batteries in there.
Depends. A lot of powerbanks have chips that adjust the amperage based on what the device can handle. This is what I went with - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - Although most of Anker's powercore power banks have their "PowerIQ" tech that is designed to moderate flow of power.
I went with that though because it wasn't too expensive and still had solid capacity. There are plenty out there with more capacity.
Wife has a 12kmah Anker, and I've got the 20100mah. Mine is slightly larger and heavier than hers, but both are fantastic and worth the weight.
Even charging tablet, phone and multiple camera batteries during the day, I've never drained my powerbank at Disney.
It's a great option for multiple people to use as well.
It does a rapid charge to about 90%, for samsung, and apple products.
A fuel rod, on the other hand, doesn't do a rapid charge, and doesn't have the capacity to do a full charge of any smartphone from the last 3 generations.
Here's my recommendation: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-20100mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y
Compared to similar products available in retail outlets, Anker destroys the competitors available at Best Buy, Target and Walmart on price, capacity, and the rapid charge.
Yes, it's more expensive than a fuel rod... but it's useful EVERYWHERE, while a fuel rod specifically is only at it's best at a park that uses their products and you can swap all day long.
I’ve got this guy.
I got it on sale around Black Friday last year. Works just as perfectly as it did when I bought it. I’m that person my friends can count on for an extra charge haha. 10/10 would recommend.
Sorry for the confusion. I meant something like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Anker-20100mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y/
That way, it will charge from the portable charger while the car is off, and then the portable charger will charge while the car is on.
I have this Anker 20000mah bank: Anker 20000mAh Portable Charger PowerCore 20100 - Ultra High Capacity Power Bank with 4.8A Output, PowerIQ Technology for iPhone, iPad & Samsung Galaxy & More – Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X5RV14Y?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
It doesn’t have USB-c and things I’ve read said it shouldn’t raise the battery level will plugged in and playing Zelda. But, in my experience it does. It raises it by about 1% every 15-20 minutes while playing Zelda. Much faster with the console asleep. Glad I didn’t drop twice as much on the other one people recommended.
I used this one last year :) it lasted the whole weekend! It's pretty big but it has so much power it was worth it! Just remember to charge the portable battery pack beforehand haha
I keep one of these, an iPhone cable, and a micro-usb cable in my bag
...because everyone has needed their phone charged at some point, and most people don’t want to be with out it.
Edit: fixed link cause /u/YellowishWhite is boss
A portable battery pack will recharge your phone 3-4x times before it's exhausted.
Anker 20,000mAh is around ~$35 and only weighs 0.78lbs. Easily can be thrown into your backpack or bag and takes up little space. It's almost 2018, you need to step your tech game up.
>charges the iPhone 7 almost seven times, the Galaxy S6 five times or the iPad mini 4 twice.
> Gift horses' teeth spring to mind.
Hhaaahaa you're right.
Well to go into more detail, this was gifted casually, along the lines of "here you can have this" after they returned from a vacation and used it to charge their phone while traveling. They probably paid $20 (hopefully)
Thanks for the info on how to test, is it reasonable to assume it's only 5,000 - 10,000 mAH ?
I've been wanted to buy this one that's 20,000 mAh for $45 CAD: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00X5RV14Y/
Potentially grab a battery pack if you have enough time (might need same day shipping to make it work).
Something like this can recharge your camera a bunch of times if you have USB charging.
Ill second to say I have that same cable and the Anker 20000 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and it will charge the switch even while playing BOTW, as long as brightness is under 80%.
Yep, this is the battery pack I have. The battery is easy to hang if you are inside your tent. Especially if it's a smaller battery. Their straps are actually pretty nice. I also do have their 10ft white Luminoodle but it's not dimmable but works well for larger areas
edit: forgot to mention the bag it comes with. you can stick the battery in there and just hang it inside or hang it off a tree or whatever when not inside your tent
I've done this since day 1 with my Anker Portable Charger Battery is a beast. Charges in 1 night and can charge my phone + more to full capacity a few times before needing another overnight charge.
HIGHLY Recommend to anyone looking for a GOOD backup battery!! I love it!
You can use a battery pack and ethernet. With Cat6 cable you can do a 100 meter run. This battery should get you about 40 hours of run time. Still way more expensive than the pi itself, but should work.
(the battery estimate is for a zero without wifi, using a usb ethernet adapter, and pi camera)
So you're looking at about 4-5 hours of hiking a day depending on pace which means you'll have a lot of time in camp to charge your electronics via a solar panel. If you want the solar panel way I'd suggest the Goal Zero Nomad 7 combined with the Flip 20 or you can go the cheaper way and order a an Anker external battery such as this Anker PowerCore 20100 - Ultra High Capacity Power Bank with 4.8A Output, PowerIQ Technology for iPhone, iPad and Samsung Galaxy and More (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_iMtxzb0J9JSQM
This was the travel pouch that came with Anker's 20k mAh battery pack (https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20100-Capacity-Technology/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499850016&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=anker&psc=1). There are probably other similar sized packs that come with things it will fit in.
We gave our clients a Anker portable battery for xmas a few years ago. We branded it with our logo

So the next meetup I go to I would really like to show off my backlit keyboards.Is it safe to plug a keyboard into one of these powerbanks?
I don't want to fry them or anything... but there has to be a way to light them up without lugging my laptop to the meet and having it run for 3 hours.
Lots of good advise here.
Keep in mind Watts are Watts but amps depend on the voltage. A 10 amp 120V appliance is 1200 watts while a 10 amp 12V appliance is 120 Watts.
I recommend you get 2 of these. One for you and one for your gf. $80 total and usable. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20100-Capacity-Technology/dp/B00X5RV14Y
I have this one and it charged my Switch while I was playing Zelda once I bought a USB-A to USB-C cable. I think I got it on sale for like $30 about a year ago
I bought an Anker power bank a year ago that can charge my laptop twice.
Going by the back side of the box it appears to be a Anker PowerCore 20100. You'll most likely be able to use alternatives that full fill those specs (esp. PowerIQ compatibility and output current).
Hey, I have a question, cause I already own a Powerbank from Anker and I would like to ask you, if it also works: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20100-Capacity-Technology/dp/B00X5RV14Y
It is a USB-A Powerbank, and It has 5V=4.8A
Thanks for your help!
EDIT: It supports PowerIQ
Buy a portable battery charger. You can carry that (and a usb cord) around with you and let your phone charge off of it. The largest phone battery I'm aware of it about 5000 mAh (though most are in the 3-4k range), so something like this is at least another 4x battery life: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y/
Tenho um Anker, é excelente e não muito caro. Esse que tenho carrega um iPhone 7 vezes ou um iPad mini 4 vezes. Mas demora 24 horas pra carregar.
I wish I could find information on power draw of 1 or 2 phantom powered microphones on the GH5, and for the XLR1 adapter itself. No clue. 10 more days until my XLR1 adapter arrives, though I'm probably not going to fret testing this stuff as I think I'll be ok.
I went for the mentioned Rode NTG4+ shotgun mic with the built in USB chargeable battery (150 hours) that can also be switched to phantom power. This way I have some flexibility if I somehow deplete the microphone battery. It weighs a little more and is slightly longer than the NTG4 but I'd rather deal with those flaws than even be concerned with trying to find out the phantom power draw and having additional battery drain concerns.
Another thought, is I wonder how well attaching a power bank to the panasonic battery charger? I'm not sure if you can charge an active battery over USB-C, but I assume you can charge your offline battery which you can charge in a power bank inside your bags.
I don't have the battery grip but think that if I carry 2-3 charged batteries I should be reasonably covered for what I do. I can always get the grip if it turns into a problem. Sorry if its not terribly helpful that I have rationalized my way around the core questions you are seeking answers to. :)
what is your brightness at. I bought this one recently. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and I am trying to figure out if it will maintain a status quo of charge on a switch wihtout too much screen brightness loss (mine hasn't arrived yet) or if I should return it and buy a different one
It really is mind-bogglingly simple. It was the smartest choice we made on our last trip, hands down! I also got one of these babies and just always had the two in my backpack so I never risked losing internet.
can anyone suggest a specific USB-C to USB cable i can use with a battery pack? The battery pack I have is the Anker powercore 20100 4.8A output. I'm going on a long plane ride this weekend so i'd like to be able to play for as long as i can. Thanks!
I'm not really too knowledgeable when it comes to all of this stuff, but I picked up this powerbank right around when GO came out. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Will it have any problems connecting to the Switch? I understand it charges with micro usb but I've used my type-c for my Oneplus 3 and never had a problem getting a good charge from it.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I own this charger bank and was wondering if it would work fine with the switch?
Also I know pretty much nothing about USB C cables, so could you recommend me one to use with that bank and the switch? Thanks
If you can use a tank bag on your bike, you could hide the battery in there to better protect it from the weather. Then run the charging cable to your GPS unit.
EDIT: I use this in my tank bag for phone charging, which I use for GPS: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
in addition to chargers:
power bar(s) -- basically, your hospital room will have plugs all over the place, and rather than charging all your devices all over the room, get a bar.
power bank -- not specifically this one, but something like it... if you're using anything electronic that can be charged via usb, it'll run low on power, and you can shove that in your pocket and not be tethered to an outlet
power banks are nice and anker makes great ones. It depends on the size capcity you want. We don't know what sized battery is in the switch yet so tis hard to know how much tehse can charge.
However the power core 20100 is now smaller. It can charge an ipad air 2 1.5 times
They have them in all sizes and shapes . I wouldn't go to high in costs. $20-$40 is what I would spend. Also you may want to look into 2 smaller batteries instead of one larger one . The one I linked you too will take 10 hours to charge. So it may be a good idea to have 2 and alternate the stress on them and allow for slower charging. Heck you may want to get a 20,000 mah battery pack like I listed and something like a 10,000mah or 8,000 mah . They would be smaller and easier to carry. They wouldn't charge the switch as much but for shorter trips it could be better. Then on really long trips you can take both
Thanks, I'll check that out.
Question - Regarding the wattage. I believe I will need 36 Watts since each meter pulls 18. Would a power bank give me enough power?
I looked at this power bank as an example.
Each port supplies 2.4 amps, assuming I'm only using one, whit would only provide 12 Watts. I have to be missing something or not understanding. Can you help me out?
Exactly. If you focus on running on time and efficient buses you won't need a USB port because you won't be on the bus long enough to use it.
Also by now I just assume we all have one of these.
Anker battery packs, best investment I've ever bought for traveling.
$49
https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Charger-Anker-PowerCore-20100mAh/dp/B00X5RV14Y
Or you can get a portable power bank and stash it where your coworkers can't get to it. Then take it home to charge it when it runs low.
This is the one I bought. I got really lucky and it was an Amazon Prime Daily Deal yesterday so I only paid $26.99 for it.
This was the other one I was considering. Note this one has a 5V/3A Type C port for both charging the brick and charging your device (switch input/output with the button on the brick). If it hadn't been for the sweet deal on the other one, I would have much more seriously considered this.
Anker is a very reputable brand for portable battery chargers and, from what I've heard, is the go to brand for most Ingress players.

I have an older model of one of these bad boys, and I still had power left at the end of the weekend. Charges really fast. I use it all the time, even at home. I'd also recommend a smaller one to keep with you in centeroo. I'd say these are as crucial as a camelbak if you're wanting to capture the experience and find your croo. Make a note file of who you want to see, the times, and the stages, and set that as your lock screen. Make one for every day. Saves so much battery life by not opening up the schedule constantly, and it saves the confusion of looking at the paper schedules (which usually get lost)
You wanna be above the ground. I did it WRONG the first two years- first year I slept in a tent in a sleeping bag, second I slept on a $7 foam pad from walmart with same sleeping bag, and third year I used the hammock. Most people in my croo used cots. I've never used an air mattress, but it's better than sleeping on the ground. Maybe invest in a really good one that you know will last a while, but I can't recommend one. Also, get a 10x10 straight legged EZ-up rather than a tent. Hang flags, sheets, tarps, and tapestries along the sides. If you're going with more cars, have them get EZ ups too. I think we had like 5 or 6 last year and connected them all. Super cool.
All I needed to keep clean was a little shampoo, a bar of soap in a baggie, a gallon of water (either empty or full- you can refill it for free) and a bath towel + wash rag. Have no shame when getting clean at roo for free. I pretty much washed my face (I kept up with my acne routine with the sinks) and then gave myself a sponge bath while sitting on my towel. Get baby wipes and face wipes for the night. I didn't invest in anything fancy and felt really clean from just doing that. Never used a shower there. I was able to clean myself using less than the gallon.
Camelbak- YES. You NEED one. I've never gone without one, and I couldn't imagine carrying around a water bottle and constantly filling it up. My camelbak is small but holds 2 liters, and it will still fit a t-shirt and other small pieces of merch. I swear by the name brand, because it's been used for 4+ festivals now, and the only issue is a small tear in the mouth piece, but it still works 10/10. Most of the other people in my croo got knock offs and weren't as lucky. I hope mine lasts. OR, you can just find a bladder and put it in a small backpack. I just really love how compact mine is. Comfort will play a huge role in enjoying your experience.
You might see smaller artists walking around. Huge might. Friend of mine said she saw FJM walking after his set, but he was covered by a sheet and looked like he didn't want to be bothered. Makes sense. Unfortunately, I wouldn't count on meeting them. I had a stupid dream of meeting Will Toledo and starting our lifelong, gay relationship. Not even close.
In 2016, I met people waiting for Pearl Jam for 11 hours. The official line doesn't start until the act before, but everyone still waits around until the line forms. Then again, we had to evacuate and everyone lost their spot in line. Feels bad man. HOWEVER even if you are in line and don't get in the pit, you'll still have a great spot.
Yep, there's also a pit line for the Which. WAY easier to get into. Saw TDCC, Earth Wind & Fire, and M83 in the pit with waiting only 30-45 mins. Go for it and try! If it's a band like Glass Animals or Tame Impala, I'd say forget about it. Huge clusterfuck last year for Glass Animals and kinda put a damper on the experience. You'll want to get as close as you can during the act before in order to see them in a great spot. Worked for Belle & Sebastian, Ben Folds, and Car Seat Headrest for me. You'll also be exposed to cool bands! (They were all in tents though, so see #8)
No lines outside of the tents, but you'll see people waiting for the next act. Most of the hardcore fans are already under the tent watching the act before, but you'll still be able to get a good spot if you try hard enough and are by yourself. Talk to people about the potential setlist. Most people just come and go. Enough people leave the barrier to try to score a spot on the barrier-4th row.
Alas, you'll spend a lot of money preparing. You can save money by getting cheaper stuff, but investing in at least decent products will last for years. Again, have had my camelbak for years. Amazon is great, and try to score a used camelbak on ebay. I lucked out and found one on clearance for $22 at Sports Authority. It's winter, so keep an eye out for sales. You may want to bring a 7x7 tent to put under your EZ up, but man an EZ up is just as crucial as the charger and camelbak I think. I really won't need to buy anything for this year because everything from prior years is still in great condition.
You can also find cheap and large tapestries from vendors. Makes them more meaningful anyways. OR, go to goodwill and find sheets. I might do that and tie dye them. Have fun and be creative :)
Then I would recommend Anker. I have had this exact model for a while and have gifted it to my sister who uses it for her baby monitors every single day for the past few years as well.
https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Charger-Anker-PowerCore-20100mAh/dp/B00X5RV14Y/
They have smaller sizes as well but Anker is a great brand. As for solar panels to put in a backpack I don't have experience with that. But Whichever solar panel you get should have a USB port on it to charge the Anker power bank.
looks like this one will fit! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I know what you mean. Got one of these on Amazon yesterday for like $27 https://www.amazon.com/Anker-20000mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y

This is assuming your staying multiple days:
Get there as early as you can to get a good spot. Gates open at 8am Thursday I think.
Try to find firewood on Craigslist or googling. Craigslist is a little hit and miss though. I've gotten some pretty shitty firewood from a local on 2 separate occasions.
If you don't have a generator get a battery pack for charging phones on Amazon.
Anker makes nice ones:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_MuZxAbRK4TVTM
These are a little cheaper and have 2 charging ports cutting charge times in half:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01422TC14/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_UAZxAbAZ8GNXV
I own both and prefer the EasyAcc because of the 2 charging ports. It takes 20+ hours to charge the Anker from dead.
Bring some flip flops to wear in the showers. You don't want to be walking in there with bare feet.
Bring warm clothing. It gets cold as fuck some years.
Bring the biggest cooler you have and try to get all of your food shopping for the weekend done in one trip. Walmart has everything you need including ice.
The same PowerCore charger non-Nintendo version sells for $45.99 at Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Charger-Anker-PowerCore-20100mAh/dp/B00X5RV14Y
I haven't actually seen the commercial / ad so I don't know what is being advertised, but Anker has a ton of really solid battery banks in the $50 or so price range, and they go on sale a lot for about $20-30, so I would pick a model that has the features you want.
I've been using this one since 2016 according to Amazon and it's amazing, but it's a fairly old model, so there are a lot newer ones with USB C and qi charging etc
You are showing a different model. The one you are showing is an older model that doesn’t have usb c PD.
In Amazon US that older model is also $49

Bought this one a few years ago. Still works like new. Takes forever to recharge it though.
I couldn't find any Nintendo switch approved Ankor portable chargers so I was wondering if anyone tried the Portable Charger : Anker PowerCore 20100mAh. It has a 4.8A output. I just don't want to fry/brick a new non-oled switch. I will be charging while playing so charging speed isn't a big deal.
I checked previous reddit posts and tried comparing it with the switch approved older ones and comparing the V and A but I couldn't figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated.
Gotta get a powerbank bro so you don't miss out on any deals. Buying monster boxes at 19% battery life like a savage.
I stay strapped with that Anker 20,100mAh. I think the USBs are becoming obsolete with more USB-C popularity.
My passion for camping and hiking has taught me the importance of utilizing redundancies in order to ensure your safety. For instance, solar may not be available in the area where you are located, but you can still use other methods. I have listed what I personally use (or similar options) below.
or
In addition, I recommend getting a Kindle and an SD card for storing your books.
I got this one 20k milliAmps (ok size for pocket):
https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Charger-Anker-PowerCore-20100mAh/dp/B00X5RV14Y?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1
Keeps me playing for hours straight
The head strap is less than ideal for a VR newbie, but if he intends to use it as much as it sounds, definitely worth investing in the pro strap, or even the battery pack version of it. Id also consider third-party alternatives, as the oculus sold one is reported to break quite often, and sometimes quite quickly.
If you get the improved strap, you need to get a specific case for it. usually, they are sold together but don't quote me there.
If you decide to get the non-battery strap, I HIGHLY recommend this battery from Anker, a reliable company. it has two ports, and more than enough juice to charge the headset midplay, as well as any other USB chargers, like a phone, simultaneously. here it is: https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Charger-Anker-PowerCore-20100mAh/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=sr_1_4?crid=25SD8V4NQNWA&keywords=anker%2B20100%2Bpower%2Bbank&qid=1637804887&sprefix=anker%2B20100%2Caps%2C195&sr=8-4&th=1
The games I have the most fun with are: Beat saber, a rhythm fruit ninja style game, pistolwhip, a rhythm shooting game, The walking dead: saints a sinners, a walking dead survival horror game, and many of the ones recommended in the comments.
Your son with autism can use the youtube VR app to watch VR videos of scenes such as roller coasters, recorded concerts, etc. alternatively, if you aren't too spooked by the idea of him talking to people online, VRChat is a free application for people to interact. the game is a bit overwhelming with over 10 people in a room, so maybe let the son who wants the headset let you know how he'd handle it.
I have this Anker charger myself, great balance between weight and capacity.
Seconded! This is the one I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I would make sure you have a great portable battery bank, something like https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Charger-Anker-PowerCore-20100mAh/dp/B00X5RV14Y
you never know when you'll need to charge your phone. Have fun and safe travels!
This is the way, Anker
Not a problem. I purchased this Anker power bank in 2016, it is solid and still being used regularly. It's been dropped so many times but just powers on. It's big but can recharge a phone like 5x before it needs recharging (but like I said I just recharge nightly).
Ebay has Sony RX100 MIII (mark 3) for around $300 (not sure if you're in the US).
Flickr's Camera Finder is handy to see the quality of photos a device can take, the Sony RX100 is the two top models on the website. As you can tell, if you check out this camera and GoPro pics, you are going to get much, much higher quality pics.
Excellent quality and has a huge power reserve. Not cheap and it's heavy but worth it.

This is what I use and the combination work great for me. I use the velcro wrap that comes with the cables to secure the cable to my headstrap and stick the battery pack into my back pocket.

Just one power bank charge over the 4~5 days! This big boy. It charged my iPhone XS and the Osmo to full each night.
You're welcome :D
I'm not the one to ask about how the Anker one I linked compares to any others - I have a few portable Anker speakers, I quite like all of the stuff I have from them, the speakers included, but those are the only external bluetooth speakers I've had. Their price vs quality tends to be quite good. A battery / bluetooth speaker set / case / MP3 player with bluetooth / wifi connectivity / etc, setup would be pretty easy to arrange.
I highly recommend their battery banks - I have this one and a few others, all are quite good, and very worthwhile carrying along an extra device for. You could always go the route of separate battery / phone / speaker, and grab a carrying case large enough for all of them. You're likely to get better battery capacity overall that way. The battery I linked has 2x the capacity of the Echo external battery, give or take a bit - and there are some with 4x and up.
My own portable setup consists of my phone, a couple ginormous anker batteries, misc cables / chargers, one of several anker bluetooth speakers, an aux cable, and a few other odds and ends. It would be fairly easy to get, say, an old ipod touch if you don't want to use your phone for connectivity for some reason - all held in this bag - it works quite well, and is convenient enough, even if its not all in one unit. Also, this is a fun little toy to play around with, and doubles as a battery bank / wifi repeater / bridge, etc.
I personally have this Anker (havent needed it since i got the Sonim though) and it works like a champ.... Currently $32 on prime.

Battery Pack:
The Anker 20100 takes the pressure of the headset off my cheeks by balancing out the weight. It has enough power to charge the Quest 5.5 times. I ordered a 90° up/down USB C cable which I'll shorten later -- I couldn't find anything the right size.

On-Ear Koss PortaPro Headphones:
I used the same drivers as the Rift CV1 which sound fantastic compared to the headstrap speakers. I tore up an old earbud cable and soldered the wires to replacement drivers. I discovered that headphone wires are coated in acrylic and wrapped around a nylon cord (for tensile strength, I'd assume). Cut the cord and soak the exposed wires in acetone to prep them for soldering.

I have this one, same brand and capacity, but with 2 USB ports. It's a must for travel.
Not sure I had heard about this before. How do I know if it is power delivery? I have https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have a travel battery pack like this that I use on flights.
Generally yeah, but I also have a pixel and an anker powercore so I have usbc to standard outlet too.. This thing is a godsend.
https://www.amazon.ca/Portable-Charger-Anker-PowerCore-20100mAh/dp/B00X5RV14Y
This one is slightly longer than what you said but is double the power of the one you have now (20,000mAh):
https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Charger-Anker-PowerCore-20100mAh/dp/B00X5RV14Y
Or this one fits in the dimensions you said and is the same power capacity as the one you have now (10,000mAh)
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Ultra-Compact-High-Speed-Technology/dp/B0194WDVHI
​
But these are literally just two of them. There are ALOT of them. I would recommend Anker but just get on amazon and search for "Anker Portable Charger" and find one that has the power capacity you want, the physical size you want and in your price range. Any Anker will be fine just make sure to say above 10,000mAh or so as we talked about.
​
Edit: Also the 20,000mAh one I linked has two usb ports. That is a MUST for me to have 2-3 ports on it so I can power my Stratux and iPad. Just something to keep in mind to look out for when looking at them.
Buy an anger powerbank (not slim ones ) there will be LG or Panasonic cells inside . https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Charger-Anker-PowerCore-20100mAh/dp/B00X5RV14Y
This and this are two power banks by Anker that are officially licensed by Nintendo.
These are a rip-off compared to Anker's other 20100mAh and 13400mAh power banks that are cheaper, just without the Nintendo branding. We haven't heard anything bad happen with 3rd party power banks, only with 3rd party switch docks, so I would recommend just getting either one of the non branded Anker power banks.
Will this charger work for my switch? I have this from a while ago and we recently just got the switch.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
From reading, i know more people got the PowerCore+, but would this be OK? i assume i just need a good USB to type C cable?
Something like this is pretty fantastic for charging things when you don’t want/need to carry the laptop as well.
But if $90 is waaaay too steep, here is the same battery without USB-C, or the branding for half the price
Lennyflank's article is great.

Keep in mind that you can also buy portable batteries that you charge while driving and then use to charge your phones (something like this)
Combine that with some solar lanterns and you might not need an extra battery at all! A lot of budget dwellers use these

What are "small devices". https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20100-Capacity-Technology/dp/B00X5RV14Y A pair of these for $60 goes pretty far if you're just talking cell phones, cameras, tablets.

The items you linked are cheap, but won't really work for you, they could, but you will have to tinker and take a chance with those Items. The power bank you linked does not have enough amps output to run the Rasperry Pi correctly and the LCD might not work for the Retropie OS. I would go with something that can output enough amps for the Raspberry Pi to run without any issues, it needs 2.5Amps. If not, the Pi will be complaining about power or being throttled because it does not have enough power to run the Raspberry Pi without any issues, specially if you are running Retropie and doing emulation:
Anker PowerCore 20100 with has 20,000mah and outputs 2.4Amps per port https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_4yDpzbGZ20DB6
Anker PowerCore II 20000 Portable Charger it has 20000mah and outputs 3Amps per port https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LQ7MQG6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_jrXiWbBU7nUPA
As for the screen, I would go with something more compatible. The screen you linked only works a a custom built Raspian OS. Not sure it would work on the Retropie OS/img. It does come with drivers which you might need to compile within your Retropie OS to get the screen to work. I would go with a screen that can run off of the display port or HDMI port of the Raspberry Pi natively. Check out the specs and the compatability of the screen to the OS you will be using it for. One good example of a really compatible A LCD is the official 7" LCD/touchscreen that plugs into the display port and works with most all OS' on the Pi. You only need to change one small setting in the boot/config file for it to boot with the LCD screen attached. I think there is an official 5" LCD available, but I could be wrong. Looks like you want to use a smaller screen, check the Retropie forums or check instructables.com to see what other people have used.
Raspberry Pi 7" Touchscreen Display https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0153R2A9I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_DJDpzbEP8KVK4
This is the battery they send you, so you can easily get a replacement for under $45. I'm sure there are higher capacity versions that will be compatible as well.
I have this anker batter and it charges just fine. i almost exclusively charge my vita from my power bank because it's more convenient that plugging it in at home.

That one looks like it's got more amps than needed. Switch wants (15v) and the suggestion I've seen is 5v @ 3a is the max. I have this one and it works great to maintain the battery.

This is the exact one I bought! Got it on a sale for $25!
Anker make really high quality portable battery products. Try this one : https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20100-Capacity-Technology/dp/B00X5RV14Y
Amazon also has it for $39.99 (might be a different model but has the same 20100 #)
You are absolutely right, I left out a 0! 20K not 2K
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=pe_386430_126088100_TE_item
Wrong, mine is not it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apis_1485057722964
Homework was done before purchase SEVERAL months ago... excellent bank! A bit on the heavier side but 9/10!
The Zenfone 3 Max would be worth considering as well - here is a comparison of the two. Smaller, lower-res screen should save some power, but it is LCD instead of AMOLED on the Blu, so it might be a wash. Smaller battery on the Zenfone too...
Would you consider buying an external battery pack for the phone? Then you can get whatever phone you want without the hard battery restriction, then add a 20,000mAh external battery for $40 or less.
Can they run off the power of a rechargeable battery like this?

I don't think I need quite that much capacity, but I may go for it since it's only a few extra dollars.
Does it come with an adapter to charge the bank?
I ended up going with this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 But out of paranoia, I may end up buying another one too haha
It doesn't matter. If you assume the device has something like a 10k mAh battery (which would be very generous considering the size), this would triple the capacity (and battery life for whatever usage pattern):
Specifically look for ones that promise a certain current output.
I drove two separate strings of 144+16 RGB pixels from this bad boy for several hours.
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20100-Capacity-Technology/dp/B00X5RV14Y
There is virtually no reason to run things at full current, they're blindingly bright in most cases. I wrote my code so it was easy to tune the final brightness from a potentiometer.
You really only need to worry about separate power tie-ins every couple meters of pixels. If you had one string going 4 meters long, then tie the +5VDC and GND in at the middle and both ends.
I use this one it is a bit weighty, but can charge my phone from dead to full like 7 times.
At the moment, no, I suggest getting this, yes it's a battery pack, but it's small and holds a tone of charges
buy a Anker portable charger best thing I ever did, you can charge your surface while its in your backpack. The Anker battery I have can charge my surface four times to full.
Instead of directly charging your phone, have you considered charging an external battery instead? I carry one of these everywhere. At full charge, it can fully recharge my phone several times.
Yeah, it's a hell lot cheaper too.
That one lasts for like a week for me on typical usage.
I have some rather thick bag, where the touchscreen doesn't respond, when the phone is in it. It's a meshed cloth, so you can still see, if the display is powered on.
It's the bag that came with this powerbank: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-20000mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470086150&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+powerbank
Forms a nice little bundle with a perfect fit in your pocket.
This one looks pretty nice, but that price is a little high. Hey, but it's not like it couldn't be used for other things also. looks like a good investment.

I just bought this a few weeks ago, because I've been going on lots of camping trips this summer. It works pretty well, it might be a little much if you just want one recharge on a long day. And this sucker is heavy as you might imagine something that's about the size of 8 regular batteries. The fast charging seems to be as fast as the OEM charger and I believe I got about 5-6 full charges plus a few half charges. The biggest issue I see with this thing if you're going to use it often is that it doesn't come with a charger and my 2 amp charger was taking forever to charge. Luckily I have a 3 amp charger that seems to charge it within about 12 hours. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_p-sOxbWCZB3ZK

You can't go wrong with Ravpower or Anker
I used a phone powerbank for my Raspberry Pi laptop project. It's capacity is quite decent. It can power my overclocked RPi 2 and the 10 inch screen and two speakers up to 9 hours. Unfortunately the output will shut off while the battery is being charged (This feature is caled pass-through charging). Calculating the runtime of the battery is simple. You only need to know how much power the components consume and the capacity of your battery.
There's absolutely 0 item specifications on the page...
# of charging ports
4.8/2.0/1.0A
Total battery size (2K-30K? mA?)
For nearly the same price you can just buy this: https://smile.amazon.com/Anker-20000mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y/
Which can charge an i6s/s7 5-6 times, and donate 0.40c to a charity at the same time.
May or may not be useful to you, Harbor freight has these fold-able solar panels that charge via usb @ 5V. I have one of these and they work pretty well. I wouldn't use it to directly charge my phone though unless it was an emergency. Rather I use it to charge battery banks. Mostly due to paranoia and the desire to protect my phone from fluctuating voltage. I'd prefer to kill that cheap battery bank if there's an issue.
Something like this would keep your phone powered for a day or three: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-20000mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469133062&sr=8-1&keywords=battery+bank
Or they make little chargers that use 2 AA batteries. Fair warning they get hotter than hell if you use them for a long time. https://www.amazon.com/Duracell-Instant-Charger-Universal-Cable/dp/B002FU6KF2/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1469133429&sr=1-3&keywords=aa+phone+charger
Honestly, In my experience going for cheap power banks are not a good idea. If I where you I would invest into something like this it will only cost you 50$ and last you a life time, Alternitivly you get get something less exspenive however it won't be as good... if you choose that route I would suggest this anything less wouldn't really be investing into for long term use.
Hmm, well a portable charger like this one (I just picked the first one I saw, though I've worked with Anker before for giveaways on my YouTube channel and they make good products) is a must have. If I find one of these companies that I can buy stock in I will cause the must be selling like crazy about now. As far as network and gps , I don't have much advice as it's device specific. I can say if you're in an area with wifi networks around that your phone will try to ping to, just turn wifi off cause that's a sure fire way to make the game lag/crash.
If you have Amazon Prime, this is a really good deal today.
Amazon's got great prices. I personally went a little extra and paid $40 for an Anker 20,100mAh. Though, you can easily find a 10,000mAh one for $20.
edit: I was talking about USD though. Here's the Amazon Canada link for the one I got. https://www.amazon.ca/Anker-20000mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469858276&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+20000mah
Which one do you have / recommend? Not sure if I should get the 20000 or pay another $10USD for the 26800 (which may be annoying to carry).
I'm currently tossing up between the Powercore 20100 (link) and the Powercore 20000 (link) (same thing, but QuickCharge 3.0). Is there any reason I shouldn't get the 20000?
I bought an Anker charger. It has been great.
Anker is the best charging brand in America
Anker 20000mAh Portable Charger PowerCore 20100 - Ultra High Capacity Power Bank with 4.8A Output, PowerIQ Technology for iPhone, iPad & Samsung Galaxy & More - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1OrLxbR5CX96C
40$ for a 9000 battery is kinda expensive, I just got one for same cost for 20000 mah battery.
Is this the one you have?
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-20000mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y
How long have you had it for and how do you like it?
and is it able to fit in your pocket?
Yeah, I will link it, one sec.
This is one I plan on getting https://www.amazon.com/Anker-20000mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=sr_1_5?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1468001386&sr=1-5&keywords=anker+powercore Or any other PowerBar, but has to have at least 10000 mah. A normal phone battery is between 1500-3000 mah
Something like this?
It'll be fine on light use, but it has much less capacity (3.4Ah vs. 20Ah = 5.8x more power stored in the 20100) and charges much slower (1A vs. 2.4A -> lipstick-sized charges at about 40% the max speed) than the 20100 that's featured as Amazon's Deal of the Day):
was out all day, let people charge off me, and didn't even use up half
There was a sale for Amazon prime yesterday, $30 for a 20,000 mah battery pack (60% off). Picked one up myself, unsure if it's still going on. Will check when I get to my computer.
Edit: Here it is. Seems the sale price has gone up but it's still pretty reasonable (40% off).
I just got the Anker 20000mah portable charger. That one holds around 7 full charges.
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-20000mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y
I have also seen this one that people like. Do you have it, and if so how long have you had it and do you like? What rating would you give it out of 10 being the highest and 0 being the lowest. Also would it be easily portable and would I be able to carry it in my pocket?
Boyfriend and I are sharing this with our squad. With two people charging off it the entire time we're out (~5-7 hours) it barely dips below half.
this one is 20000mAh and it charges as it normally would with a wall charger, I highly recommend it

"This one" It can keep you charged for hours
I bought an Anker 20000mAh. It's kind of ridiculous. Was PoGo-ing for around 8 hours on Saturday and for 7 of those hours was plugged into the battery pack. Got home with 100% phone battery and 75% on the battery pack.
E: Oh, and I also bought some new compression shorts.
This is the one I use. It's fantastic.
With this, you can be that guy walking around charging yours and your friends phones.
I didnt get anything! As the decently priced ones were all gone. I am going to pick up an anker amazon though, heard excellent reviews
Portable Battery Charger - playing will destroy your battery. Tons available at all price points.
Example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X5RV14Y/
Insulated water bottle, jerky or another travel friendly snack.
it seems the same, try this one
I have recently bought this power bank: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-20000mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y
I really like it, it's always convenient to have around and it's not too bulky. It can charge my iPhone 6 around 7 times. I've had it for about a month and I recommend it to anyone looking to buy a power bank.

Amazon Prime Deal of the Day (currently $26.99)
Pick up a battery charger for it. Anker makes a wonderful one that's 40 bucks on Amazon right now. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-20000mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y
I would honestly spend $10 more and get this anker one. link Been using 2 of these since I started playing ingress and they have been perfect. Its not insanely thin but its thin and light enough to where I can put it in my pocket and just forget about it until I need it.
Anker is a really good brand and everyone I know has never had a problem with one of their products. They aren't one of those chinese companies that will just leave you fucked if it breaks. Dropped one of mine once and anker was great about helping me out
Also, the deal of the day has this one if you aren't in a hurry! It is much larger, though. You may want to hold this one in a bag.
Yeah for sure, that looks like a solid deal. It is one of their "older" products but I'm sure it's great.
I got this one (https://www.amazon.com/Anker-20000mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1468553093&sr=8-3&keywords=anker+portable+charger) a week ago for 27, but it's 40 now. I'd highly recommend it, but it's a little bit bigger.
Another one to look at would be this one (https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Portable-Ultra-Compact-Fast-Charging-Technology/dp/B0194WDVHI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468553093&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=anker+portable+charger&psc=1) for a little bit smaller.
Ultimately, they're all going to be a high-quality product, just different shapes and capacities. I would look to see if the one you linked has quick charging or not though, I'm not sure when they incorporated that.
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-20000mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y?ie=UTF8&ref_=zg_bs_7073960011_1 for 5 bucks more you can have triple battery life
Something worth mentioning is that because of the high RAM usage, as soon as you open another app, Pokémon GO will get closed and you will have to reopen it again. This has been my biggest issue so far. Other than that, battery issues are the same for every other phone. Got this charger (no referral) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687702&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00N2T7U90&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=Y7T091D2449M8K8X1H05 @$24 deal of the day and it even does "charge rapidly"
Anker's Powercore 20100 is pretty great. I use it all the time and always comes in handy.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Check that one out. Based on the dimensions on the page, it is smaller than the tronsmart.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Using this. No USB C. But works amazingly. Charges phone about 5-6 times. Was on sale last week for $27 so I jumped on it.
Thanks to having a removable battery, I have a great set up. I have a second battery, a battery cradle, and a power bank.
When my phone's battery runs out, I swap out for the second one, putting me back at 100%. Then, I put the empty battery in the cradle, connect the cradle to the power bank, and I have 100% on my phone while the empty battery is charging in my backpack.
I can continue this cycle and play Pokemon Go for well over a day straight.
I picked this up https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The Anker 20000mAh one, last week it was on sale for 27 bucks.
what about this one? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_fsOHxb538ZA0T
its a big one?or i can sit with one near bench?
I got this monster 20,000mAh for 30$ (now $40) 4k reviews at 4.5 stars. I cant justify anything the sprint post in this thread is offering when compared to this beast even if its on sale only for a short while. I think the highest morphie offers is 12,000mAh
I just ordered the same thing. It's on sale on Amazon right now too. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Anker all day, every day. I love my 20K mAh beast.
You could use a powerbank like I did with mine (http://imgur.com/a/wl7Rh). I used the Anker PowerCore 20100 (http://www.amazon.com/Anker-20000mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462910998&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+powerbank) it can output up to 2.4A per port (2 ports) and has quite high capacity. It powers my RPi Laptop depending on what I'm doing for 8-12 hours. The only disadvantages are that the ouput can't be used while charging and it takes about 8 hours to fully charge it. I'm using an 10.1 inch display.
I have an Anker 20,000mAh and it was about $40.
I have successfully kept my S5 Active alive for a whole week with it on a cross country trip. The Anker was fully charged before I left and never recharged during the trip.
Anker has cheaper models with less capacity.
I agree, I'll only be getting more Pokemon flair than the plus bracelet if they have PvP/Trading implemented with the initial release. If anyone finds a minimalist shirt/light jacket let me know.
Gear: Silphroad patch sewn onto my camelback pack, Power Bank, Pokemon Go+, Rollerblades (unless I'm in a downtown area)
- I have the Anker 20000mAh battery pack and it has served me well on group trips, recharging headlamps, cameras, phones. It's definitely not light (my scale puts mine at 12.66oz), but I own many Anker products and I can't praise them enough. I don't think you can go wrong with the Anker.
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-20000mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ - Heads up there is a newer version of mine I posted above called the Powercore+ but it uses USB-C as the charging input - great if you have a USB-C phone as the cable can be multi-use but it's something to keep in mind.
- As others have said with the technical jargon it's hard to say exactly how many charges you'll get out of it. If you're worried about it, maybe step it up to the next size.
I just received my http://www.amazon.com/Anker-20000mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y and I'm loving it. I also bought http://www.amazon.com/dp/B012WLUKHC/ref=twister_B0191K1R6K?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 . The battery charges my phone about 1% per minute, which is ridiculous, and can easily charge it 6+ times before I need to plug it into the wall again. It does take about a night to recharge the battery from empty, but that's because it's capacity is ridiculous lol.
I see this one for $40, and a bunch of other options. Will this charger work? http://www.amazon.com/Anker-20000mAh-Portable-Charger-PowerCore/dp/B00X5RV14Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1460584777&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=portable+charger&psc=1
EDIT: Now that I look at it, people say it wont have the power
I found this Anker on Amazon.ca with 20100 mAh. Looks really good. It has two outputs, so one for the Pi, and I would like to power a monitor with the other one. Any idea how I might power a small monitor with something like this?
Is anyone else intelligent enough to just use those portable anker battery packs like this? You set it on the couch or table next to you and you literally have endless amounts of power and you retain as much wireless as you need.
Had no issues bringing in a portable charger. I had this in my camelbak.
I really like anker products. Here is a 20k mah pack but they make all different sizes.

Even in retail, $10 is way overpriced for an unprotected ncr18650b. Multiple online retailers sell genuine for less than $10 for a pair of 2. I have bought many panasonic cells from fasttech, and all have tested very close to their specifications. They have fallen in price a lot in the past few years.
And to add, Anker makes a portable charger using those cells for under $40
rei just had the garmin etrex 30x with 100k US topo bundle for $199 but i'd just bought the etrex 20x, that was a killer deal and worth looking out for if it ever comes around again. My main concern while shopping for a gps (and all electronics i take with me) was the ability to either charge or power via USB. garmin handhelds can power via usb so having large mAh battery backup like this i snagged from amazon for $26 bucks is pretty epic. could go weeks with phone, navigation, music and camera in the wilderness before a recharge :)
This Anker is on sale and has a ludicrous amount of storage. :) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y
Thank you so much guys. In the end i went with Anker PowerCore 20100. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

50 dollars for the same thing.
For your phone? Me and some others I know have this one. I bring it on 3-4 day camping trips.
Sorry but that is just a blatant rip-off. I'm surprised they tell you what powerbanks they're rebranding, just get one from Amazon, pay about half the price and get proper support directly from Anker in case of problems...
it is literally this but with a Nintendo Logo and $45 more.
That's what I thought. It looks like my current Anker battery. Which I use to charge my Switch
Edit: Amazon link
20100mAh 4.8A
Why? Dude this is literally just a battery. Go out and buy any lithium ion battery pack with a good capacity. You end up with a better product for less.
There use that link and save your money.

Yeah, the first batteries that come up on a Google search for "M18" are 1.5 and 3 AH. Pretty pathetic. For charging an arm you'd do better with something like this, which is 20 AH and cheaper than M18 batteries. Those M18s are designed for high current draw, which isn't needed in a recharging scenario.
I suspect the robotic arm is more of a nice-to-have for her than an absolute necessity. So in the event of a prolonged blackout, she's one-armed.

This is a good alternative. Less capacity, but I use for my switch and my phone all the time.
Battery Pack like this one
here's one 1/2 the price (but 1/2 the power) still very juicy--

It works amazingly. I have gone through 2 ankers. This one is so good at charging my phone. Capacity is fantastic. Smaller than you would think also
Problem solved. Battery for days.

Amazon had the exact same charger just without the Nintendo Switch logo on it for $40

So this is the same exact item but $30 cheaper than what OP posted... Alternate
So put one of these in your bag and charge your phone/headphones/etc. like fifty times.
