What's a good power brick?

[CamperJack]

I've just got back from a couple nights tenting and fishing. Obviously my phone battery drains, despite trying to to use it and turning data off etc. So I was thinking about buying a power brick. I don't know what the proper name is. That is a small battery with USB charging. Something big enough to charge my old iPhone SE a few times is all it needs to do.

Any recommendations for one, or how big (they seem to be measured in mAh) of one to look for?
What have you got? Is it any good?

I use an Anker power core 20100 recharges phone and tablet several times and has 2 USB outlets. On Amazon they call it a power bank. Not the cheapest but best I've had. Alternatively something like a Noco jump start pack, good if you get a flat battery very small and light, Tayna batteries do them but pushing £100.

I’d second Anker. Powercore20100 does the job for me.

I too use an anker power bank, but have always firmly believed that everything in the van should have more than one potential use. So one of the jump start power banks that can restart a van with a flat battery would fill that remit

I have a "Victsing" pack, Categorised as a "jump Start" unit, it is currently no longer available online. but others similar are. This one has started my "toad" (with a dead battery) several times, and my Neighbours Jag on one occasion. So at £60ish, it is dual purpose. Its about 8"x4"x1-1/2" and about 1/2Kg?. Comes in a nice wallet with USB charging cable and Clips for battery boosting. It is said it has the capacity to start the `van, but I have never yet had to use it.

I have a RavPower power bank, with two USB type A outputs, a micro-USB input, and a USB-C that is both input and output. Capacity is 26800 mAh, which I believe is the maximum allowed on a passenger plane. I know others who have similar Ravpower power banks and are very happy with their performance.

Output from type A sockets is 2.4A max for one, 3.4A total for two. USB-C max is 5V 3A (=15W), but on special request from a recognised device it can supply up to 15V 2A (=30W).
