PS. My initial response was actually to kirkubbin who asked 'what is it'.

DaisyAne I simply meant that if the word Charger had been included it would have been more obvious what a power bank is. I can't recommend one, true, but I took the time to explain what they are used for. Hope this is acceptable to you. I did not intend to be rude by what I said.

Do you drive? If it’s just for a mobile charge your phone there.

I’ve got an INIU. Cost about £20, is easy to use and light enough to carry in a handbag. I get about four charges of my mobile before it’s needs re-charging. Hope that helps.

No idea these existed, but sounds a lovely idea if you have a mobile.

Why would it have been clearer Aldom? You can't help either way.

Thank you for bumping the thread though.

It would have been clearer if the OP had said Power bank charger.
All I can say is that it's a device for charging a mobile phone when an electric socket charge is unavailable.
I have no experience of these, so can't advise.

What is it and why do you want one?

What to look for, what you have and like, anything you think I need to know. This will be pretty much from zero knowledge at the moment.
