You cannot go wrong with Anker, Mophie or Jackery. I have or had all three various sizes. Use them sporadically and they’ve never let me down.
hey thanks, can you give me an idea of, once they are fully charged, how long do they hold the charge, i would use probably as little as 2-3 times a year and would want to grab it in an emergency and know it is charged and ready to go
Anker!!! I’ve gotten a 10000mah for my gf, that she’s had for almost 4 years now. I got another one that’s 3 years old that 5000mah that is also a plug. I gave that to my dad A few months ago. And for emergencies (I’m in California and with the fires and power outage) I got a just got 26500mah one (it was $79 with $50 off, amazon sale) with USB-C fast charging. And that has been great.
I really love that brand because they truly last. Yes you can get a cheap one that’s $20 but Anker works and they’re a big company now. My dad got a cheapo one and the battery swelled.
For a very long time based on my experience - they seem to lose little over months in my drawer. I do top them off before extended use. I have Anker and RAVPower units that work great.
Also from what I read it’s better to charge them every few months as opposed to once a year. I don’t think it’s good for lithium batteries to just sit there.
I bought this one three years ago. It is a bit bulky for travel, but it is my absolute "go to" at home. Either on the patio or when I'm too lazy to plug in my phone. Tons of power, will charge my IP11Pro several times and retains a charge for many months.

I have a couple of these Pisen Color Power Pro chargers... 10,000 mAh ... I've had them for almost 2 years now... they are light, extremely portable and hold the charge very well... about $20 each... unfortunately Amazon no longer has them available... highly recommended if you can find it.
thanks for the tip, how long will it keep power if you park it away for emergencies, like 6 months ? 3 months ?I have a couple of these Pisen Color Power Pro chargers... 10,000 mAh ...

At least 5 months on one that is still at 100%... I recently (2 weeks ago) use the other... but it, too is at 100%.
I've been eyeing either of these via Amazon.ca

Anker all the way. I use a 21,000mAh when I travel and it charges my iPhone X at least 8 times before it needs recharging
I know this thread is aging a bit, but I'm pretty excited about my new Aukey. USB C and A output, but what I'm excited about is having inputs of USB C, micro USB and Lightning! So my USB C to Lightning cable is used for both charging my phone from the power bank, as well as for charging the power bank from my USB C charger! Love it!
It's ok as long as you keep them charged to around 50%.

I got one like that on Amazon from some company that starts with a C. It has all the inputs and three USB A and one USB C outputs. Also shows the % of the bank and the V/A of input/output when connected. Weird thing is I must have gotten one of the last ones because when I looked for it again, I got page not found.

Same thing happened with a nice one I got from a company starting with a C. It was page not found when I went to look at it again after receiving.I have a couple of these Pisen Color Power Pro chargers... 10,000 mAh ...

I also like the iMuto ones I've gotten. They don't drain much when idle, and they show the % when you tap the power button or when charging. Also have C and Micro inputs. Plus I believe you can use both at once for faster charging.
I like the Anker PowerCore battery pack. 3 phone charges for each time you charge
It. It’s also not big and bulky which I like.
