    Cousin brought a portable battery on our hunting trip to try out. It was about half the size of the one linked and kept or phones charged all week without having to recharge the cube at all. I think it still showed 60-80% battery by the end of the week; can't remember. Anyway, something that size could easily be at least 50aH and mammy of those can be charged with 120AC, 12V DC, or solar.


    If your handset, you can build one line I had on my van with a 50w panel and 20A solar charger, all the wiring and ports, and I had an 18aH battery for only about $100.

    I got one of these a while ago and its awesome to have around (Anker 20k, I believe). Travelling, power outages, camping, hunting, whatever. Just nice to have a power source around.

    One simple thing lots of people miss is just have your phone charging when you're not using it. Like driving or eating dinner. Having a fully charged phone when things go south unexpectedly is huge.

    Unlike the people I see huddled near an outlet in some godforsaken corner of the airport?

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.
