Re: Portable power..

... apart from 4 calls to Montrose of course!

Re: Portable power..

I'm carrying an Anker 25600mAh power pack, similar to the brick Ed referred to. This is obviously overkill as I'll be able to charge every 3-4 days anyway, but I really hate running out of power. It does mean I can charge up to 3 things at once, though. Anker have smaller capacity units that will do a good job.

Re: Portable power..

Anker is definitely the way to go. There are loads of other makes which aren't as reliable. I've had my 8,500 mA for a few years now. It does me fine for 4 days for phone and fitbit but my phone is mainly on flight mode. I'd probably get 10,000 mA if I had to replace it, but not more. They aren't light.

Re: Portable power..

THANK YOU to everyone who made suggestions.

I have purchased an Anker 10,000 suitable for my S9. It's arrived and weighs around 200g which is heavier than I would like but it promises to recharge my phone 3 times.

I'm planning a short trip this week to complete the Cowal Way so I'll be able to test it out before the Challenge.
