Mobile Portable charger for 2 iPads?

Can anyone recommend a power bank to keep 2 iPads on the go on the plane? My two play on them non stop on the journey (my 7 year old says it’s his favourite bit of the holiday &#128514 but their games do drain the batteries fairly quickly!
I already have a small one for my phone but want to get one that you can charge two devices on and is powerful enough to manage iPads.

Thanks!

I have had this one for 2 years now. Use it for festivals as it'll charge my phone 4-6 times.

This is the newer version but technically the same. If or ethe negative reviews which complain about solar charging. It's only suppsesd to be used for topping up plus the panel is far to small to do a full charge.

It's very sturdy & I have it hung from the backpack to charge that little bit.

However do you really need one? Doesn't your flight have chairs with usb charging?

On our virgin flight last year the seats had USB ports but they didn’t charge as such, just supplied power? And the batteries still went down just slower, as they seem to do power hungry stuff on them!

This one is brilliant.
amazon/Anker-Power...r+power&sr=8-3

We can easily get about 5-6 iPhone 8 charges out of it. Charges the device really fast too.

That’s good to know as I was looking at this one! I currently have a small anker one for my phone.

We bought an anker power bank 20100 and used it pretty much continuously over a long weekend camping for two iPhones and 3 tablets and it was still at 75% capacity.

Our flight had usb charging but they are low powered and couldn’t keep up the charge of our old amazon tablets whilst the kids were playing games.

We just keep them plugged into the seat back USB ports, ensure things like location gps, Bluetooth and the screen is not at the brightest to increase battery life.

I recently bought an Anker power bank and have been very pleased with it. Won't recommend my specific one as it only has one USB out (so will only charge one device at a time) but they do a number that have two USB out and can charge two devices at a time. Would look for one with a larger capacity though, probably at least 10,000 mAh, if you're trying to keep two iPads going!

Generally airplane outlets are lower powered, they supply just a trickle that's enough to keep devices going but not quite enough to charge them...

I’d recommend anything by Anker. The one mentioned looks good if you want as much charge as you seem to. It’s reduced today in Amazon Prime day too
