We had a good thread about keeping mobiles etc charged for use in power cuts.

I have just Googled it only to discover that the thread had 'mooved' - presumably in this morning's change over.

Could some one let me know what the recommended ones were again please.

Thank you!

One brand that I made a note off was INIU. Well reviewed on Which as well

I have an Anker power bank, purchased several years ago but forgotten where from. I would not be without it, it doesn't take long to charge up and I keep it in my handbag. I will completely charge my Android phone in one go, also, if we are going to get winter power cuts you have a back up.

I have an Anker one that will do ipad and phone charging. It is heavier than my previous charger but nicely built.

mine is anker. I charged it up and did not use it for two years. I decided it was time to test it and it had retained full power. I was very pleased and it has charged my phone time after time since then, also my fire tablet. I bought another one last week, never appreciated how important a power bank could be

INUI works so well here and abroad.
