    My friend has the same one as this and also speaks of how good it is. Definitely worth considering

    I'd like to add another relevant question and that is - if it's for emergency use and needs to be kept charged how quickly does the battery drain if not in use?

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    My Anker one generally keeps its charge pretty well even without use. It won't be 100% but will still be more than 75% powered even after several weeks. At least that's what the charge LEDs say!
  • Same here - My larger one is used maybe every 3 months and holds its charge well. I'd check them twice a year if part of a bug out bag.

    That's good to know. Thanks.
    Had a breakdown in a remote spot and the calling and unusable links sent etc my phone was getting low which added to the worry.
