A fortnight off-grid without paying for lodge charging

Anker Power Bank 20,000 mAh

20,000 mAh (~74 Wh), ~350 g

Four to five phone charges, which is genuinely a whole Everest Base Camp trek without ever paying a lodge — you carry 350 g up to 5,545 m to save perhaps twenty dollars.

  • Charges two devices at once, which matters in a group

What it costs you

  • Heavy
  • Slow to refill on the one night you find mains power
