Stay fully charged with portable chargers and power banks
There’s nothing worse than when the battery life of one of your electronics snuffs out at a critical moment. Like it or not, many adventurers rely on portable chargers and power banks when it comes to exploring unfamiliar areas outdoors. Cell phones are important to call for help or look at a map, GPS can help you find your way and even an e-reader can keep you preoccupied on quiet days. Portable chargers and power banks are fantastic tools to keep your electronics topped up and powered when you need them most. Brands like Goal Zero, BioLite and more have a variety of handy gear to help you with these issues, so take a look to see which one fits you (and your phone) best.
Why power banks and chargers are important
When you camp out in remote areas, access to electricity is limited, and more often nonexistent. On the heavy-duty end, portable power stations are built to address all kinds of electricity needs. Charge one up at home before you leave, and they can be used to charge your smaller devices, power your lights and more for days at a time. You can also use it to charge your rechargeable batteries for those devices that don’t have a charging cable. Keep your power bank running even longer or top it up with a compatible camping solar power bank, and you’ll be set for longer trips in the wild.
If you’re looking for something a little more lightweight, pocket-sized power banks and portable chargers offer a convenient solution when you’re on the go for long days, like intensive hikes off-grid or canoe trips. They’re great for charging your phone or camera when a wall socket isn’t an option, and some can even get your device through multiple charge cycles. Keep an eye out for extra features that some brands offer, like built-in flashlights, hand warming capabilities and so much more.
More features to watch out for
When choosing a power bank and charger, think about other features you may need like power capacity, gear durability, weight, size and if solar charging is an option. Durability is an especially important feature, since camping can be particularly tough on gear. Plan out your upcoming trip and put some serious thought into what you need (and what you can leave at home).
