    Depends on the (power) size of your phone battery, how often use phone and away for.


    I have an Energizer Max Portable Power Bank 5000 mAh (£15) which is suitable for me for a day away.

    I agree, Anker good quality and a good range of sizes.
    I have the 20100mAH powercore http://amzn.eu/7ibXMu7 which while heavy has enough power for a few days away.

    They do a 10000mAh version as well which half the size and alittle easier on the pocket.

    The big one is £28 at the moment but regularly drops to about £23.

    the price of all the Anker stuff goes up and down, Its cheaper on Amazon than it is on Ebay. Use camelcamelcamel to catch a bargain.

    A Power Bar is a small power bank. The free EE Power Bar and subsequent recall publicised the name enough that I'd expect everyone to remember it. I probably should have returned mine....
