Thriftygifty said:... Thankyou kacie, I wasn't sure if different brands were different, I shall research a little more.It's not the brand that makes the difference, it's how many "mah" or more correctly "mAh" they will store/provide. Basically, the more the merrier, but also the bigger/heavier. Personally we've found a small 6,000mAh one extremely useful but we also have a 20,000mAh one in the BOB. It's amazing how long they stay fully charged!One thing that might get a bit confusing - I've just noticed that some sellers are now referring to so-many thousand mAh as so-many "K".We're all doomed10

Just out of curiosity, may I ask if you found the instructions on the tin regarding quantity a bit confusing?

I brought some baskets to store crisps in , rather than having multi packs half buried under stuff, this in turn lead on to sorting out other cupboards so we are now turning out all the crockery and planning to keep only what we need/use (3 of us in house do not need 25 dinner plates in any situation!). Its actually a really positive process as I can choose my favourites and make more space! Next need to go through cooking/baking pots/pans/bowls, but thinking that's for another day!15

There have been threats of power cuts this winter and I'm all electric - apart from a solid fuel stove. I thought of getting something like camping gaz (for use outside). Does anyone have portable back ups?
