Anker chargers Etc.
It looks like I will need to invest in a couple of power banks for around the parks especially for my wife and daughters. They all have either the iPhone 10 max or iPhone 8 Plus models with this in mind what’s my best options. I’ve read in here once people recommended Anker which one does everyone normally use and do they charge the phones listed above. Last time we went I had cheap power banks from primark/ pound stretcher and they were ok to give another 20-40% but wouldn’t fully charge them my wife and daughters use the phones to take pictures and videos plus all other social media stuff so they can take a hit on the battery throughout the day in the park. Would appreciate anyone recommending a good portable charger. I’ve seen a anker one that states it charges two at once and can charge iPhone 6 5 times so I’m hopeful it would charge the latest iPhone models but I could be wrong.

Definitely Anker.
I have iPhone and my two daughter also have iphones and we all went together last year and it gives 3 full charges, excellent when one of your daughters films everything! |

I took advice from Wanye on General Chat and he recommended this Anker product
amazon/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 We used it in March and it kept my Wifes iPhone fully charged all day in the Parks. I hammer her phone as she has free data with EE max and I find it quicker than using the Disney WiFi. An absolute godsend. Even with me on the News channels whilst lining up so using it even more than just MDE it kept up well. Edit. I also bought this 4" cable so I now dont have a long cable trailing around in my pockets or bum bag. amazon/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have an Anker and it’s absolutely brilliant, it stays charged for ages.

Another recommendation for Anker. I bought one before we went to Florida in Feb after seeing them recommended on here. It kept mine and DD’s iphones charged all day despite using them constantly for WiFi and as cameras. So much better than the cheap power packs and it holds it’s charge for ages.

This is brilliant. Tom the one you listed I’ve not looked at yet but it states charges iPhone 8 so that will do for me and it’s around £10 cheaper than the one I found earlier but that could be due to the one I found being slimmer and was able to charge two at once. Seems Anker is the way to go then. Also like the idea of 4” cable as otherwise there will be cables everywhere in my bag.

Anker again for me. Can charge 2 phones at once as well. Need to keep it charged up as it takes a long time to recharge it if you let it get low. Mr Toms link is the one

Not Anker but I've just grabbed a couple of these for our trip next week.
amazon/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Size and weight being the deciding factor if it was going to be in my pocket all day.

I’ve got one like Toms and have a short 4” cable too.
I put sticky Velcro on the back of the phone cover and on the Anker, and they stay together just great. |

This one was on a special deal of the day yesterday, so I got it for £26.39. First time I've thought about getting one of these, but with 6 of us going with phones and tablets, I'm sure it will get a lot of use.
