What did we think?
We tend to run down phone batteries fairly quickly and in the past have used the smaller Varta 5200 mAh Power Bank which is ideal for taking out with us when out and about for the day. When we go out walking, we always use My Tracks to map the walk and are increasingly using View Ranger or the OS Maps app at the same time to follow a route, so mobile phone battery drain can be a real issue.
When it comes to our regular weekend camping trips and with a long-haul journey coming up, I was after something that would provide me with a bit more power.
The Varta 16,000 mAh Power Bank proved to be the ideal choice for our recent trip to the Indian Ocean. With a 27 hour journey facing us using 5 different modes of transport, I wanted to make sure that I’d have ample power for my phone as I had films, podcasts and music stored on it to keep me occupied during the journey.
The power bank performed really well, with both myself and my partner using it during the long journey, and I found it to be quite quick to charge too compared to my old Power Monkey. I didn’t even bother to charge the unit from the mains again before our return journey home as it was still showing 4 LED lights on the front.
It states that the power bank can handle 5-6 smartphone charges and I can believe it. After we both used it again on the long journey home, it was still showing 2 LED lights when we arrived back at home.
We’ll definitely be taking this on future trips with us as it provides fast and reliable power, and is capable of a good 5 full smartphone charges.
