[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 3 points 11 months ago (4 children) Seconded. 65W Anker and it's never let me down yet. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Tweak@feddit.uk 1 point 11 months ago (3 children) There's a beefy one now with 160W max with 3 USB-C (2 with captive cables) each capable of 100W, plus a USB-A. 25Ahr charge capacity. Also you can get a power station with an AC inverter if you really want it all. They typically have a range of outputs, even a cigarette lighter socket, and often contactless charging on top. You can also get a solar cell to charge them. However with increased capacity comes increased price. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Denjin@feddit.uk 2 points 11 months ago (2 children) I really only need it to keep my phone charged when we have a power outage or we're camping for a few days or to give my steam deck a boost if I'm on a long journey. The bigger the capacity you go for and with the more bells and whistles you have, the more things there are to go wrong and the more you pay. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone [S] 1 point 11 months ago (1 child) Ah of course... keep it simple might be best permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Tweak@feddit.uk 1 point 11 months ago Nah they're all simple. The basic specs I listed are just that, the devices themselves are completely straightforward, almost too much so. Literally just a single button to wake it up and flip between screens that show input/output values and remaining charge. Power stations will also have buttons to turn on/off AC and DC outputs separately. The thing you pay more for is charge capacity in Ahr (they like to list mAhr as it has extra 000) and input/output power in W. permalink fedilink source parent
