Thread: Portable Power Packs

i brought one for $100 from BP last week , 10,000 mAH .
we were in the bush for a few days.
Charged our 2 iphones and gps a total of 5 times combined and still had 20% left.
I have one thats 5 years old thats 20,000 mAh. Its still pumping. Get shitloads of charges off it.
My recommendation , get the big dog. Little bulkier and heavier. But bugger all difference

Thanks all, really useful the lighter options. Just wanted something to charge the inreach so I can leave on for 5 odd days.

I’m off for four days tomorrow so just grabbed a $40 8000mah from Noel leeming, but really interested in the 18650 or 21700 options as have these batteries on hand and carry the 18650 in my standard kit.

I can see any moisture would bugger the one I got.

I was an unbeliever until a guy jump started my Subaru 3.6 6 cylinder. Went out straight away and bought my own. Had to use it a couple of times lately to help my Toyota van which has a battery which is on the way out, aided by not running the van for periods of over a week due to being in Cindy's jail.

Have jump started amongst others a diesel Toyota Hi Lux's and 4 cylinder (smaller) diesel tractor.

They will not jump start a totally dead battery but will work on most "flat" batteries are not truly dead flat.

I think there are larger capacity models around but mine has never had trouble starting the vehicles I've assisted.
Also used mine to start my ride on mower numerous times as I'm to miserly to fork out on a new battery.
Wife even used it to start a guy in ute behind her at the supermarket. When she offered the Powerall to him he said "what do you expect that to do deerie?" He was astonished and only mildly grateful when his engine fired up.

I bought my portable charger from ali express. works mint and super well priced.

I use a Nitecore LC10 magnetic cable that clips straight onto an 18650 battery, it’s lightweight and works great. https://charger.nitecore.com/CHARGER/lc
I purchased off terryf on here, who by the way offers fantastic service and sharp prices.

Yes they are. I have the same Powerall as Zimmer and used it the last time I was out on the boat when the bloody thing wouldn't start for the trip back in. Would have had to call the coastguard if I hadn't had it with me. It also starts my 3 litre diesel van without too much trouble.

Got one of these, and a couple of smaller ones. Goes great and LED light too. Solar charging works but is pretty slow.
