From Aldi, a 7800mAh powerbank.

Maximum power output is 2.1 amps.

Since the PSU for my Hudl is rated at 2.0 amps, I reckon I can run my Hudl directly from the powerbank.

useful if you like filling up drawers with unused gadgets with dead batteries.

where do you need to take a hudl that doesn't have a power socket.

Strange question, as it's portable I would assume anywhere they like.

Park, bus, beach, garden, cafe, lots of places really.

Quite so RichardD1970.

I recently travelled by coach, from Manchester to the Eurotunnel terminal and, a week later, from Dover to Manchester.

I would've browsed the net, pretty much the whole way, if the power would've held out.

rhetorical not strange. It's a commentary on the need to use electronic gadgets rather than relax and look out the window or enjoy your surroundings or company.

takes 10 minutes to drink a coffee, and less than that to buy a paperback.

Your Hudl probably draws around 1A from the charger when flat, maybe 500mA when at 80%+.

The general rule that manufacturers use is to take the power requirement and double it for the PSU rating.

If I try to run my Hudl from my computer's USB socket, even when it's practically fully charged, I get a message to the effect, that there isn't enough power from the USB socket.

Each to their own, but I prefer to browse the net, and keep in touch with friends.

If the coach had WiFi, I'd probably video chat with them.
