Eddie Bauer Solar Power Bank 6000mAh

After 18 months I noticed the cases splitting on all three of these power banks I bought. The Li-ion battery failed and started to swell, causing the cases to crack open. I got these for gifts. It was a waste of money.  Full review

Xiaomi Power Bank 20000 mAh

Very capable (but large and heavy) power bank with two-way QuickCharge support and dual USB output. Nice and simple design, but no case or pouch for carrying. Mostly useful for owners of power-greedy equipment, such as action cameras. Background In my outdoor trips I prefer avoiding the situations when I need a power socket for charging my electronic devices. There are many of them: smartphone, a couple of headlamps, health tracker, GPS navigator, DSLR camera, and every year this number grows. At… Full review

HALO Pocket Power StarLight 3000

I have two of these and one does not charge. The other charged my device for about five minutes and then was dead! GARBAGE! I tried to use it once. Only held charge for 24 hours and could not charge another device. The other must have a bad connection as I could not get it to charge. Full review

Seattle Sports SurviVolts Power Bank

The power bank, 5000 mAh capacity, can recharge a cell phone or power an included set of components useful for lighting or emergency signaling especially. It is compact and portable, although not ultralight. My initial impression is quite favorable. The basic power bank seems to be a 26850 lithium-ion battery with an integral small flashlight, potentially quite useful if you ever need to assemble the other components in the dark. Four blue LEDs indicate the charge status. Other components are: a… Full review

HALO Pocket Power StarLight 3000

The three I have owned all stopped working. There must be a design flaw in these. One of the three was a replacement for the first one that stopped working. Junk. Junk. Full review

Eddie Bauer Solar Power Bank 6000mAh

On our weeklong kayaking trip, this solar charger was the hot commodity. Everyone was looking to borrow this. I don't have much experience with solar chargers yet, but I must admit, this solar charger was working overtime every day for seven days straight, and never skipped a beat.  We had 15 people total in the group and had two solar chargers. The Eddie Bauer was the preferred of the two. It was more consistent and charged faster than the other model.  It has a built-in flashlight. We used the… Full review

EasyAcc 20000mAh Rugged Power Bank

This is the most durable power bank that I have found. It's dustproof, waterproof, and shockproof. It also has a built-in flashlight and SOS signal. I have been looking for a portable battery bank for a long time. My phone and cameras are always running low when I am out traveling or hiking with my family. I was about to get a cheap power bank, but then EasyAAC approached me about making a video of their battery bank for my YouTube channel.  In the video below I unbox the power bank and check out… Full review
