Portable charger recommendations

My daughter is looking for a portable charger she can take to a 5 day festival. It would need to charge an iPhone 7 more than 8 times but not be too large or heavy. Any reviews/ suggestions please?

I use an Anker powercore 20100, the specs say it will do 7 iPhone charges, never tried it for this many but it's still a fair size. Weighs 356g according to the specs and is 6inx2inx1in.
When I was looking 7 seemed to be the limit of phone charges. Even the bigger Anker power core's would only do 7 charges, would just do it quicker.
How about a portable solar charger, can fully charge it before she goes and top it up if needed?

the powercore 20100 is one of the highest capacity cells you can get. it's regularly on offer for ~£25, so might be worth waiting

amazon/Anker-Power...59ec0837a7661c

an iphone 7 has a 2900mah battery. which is 6.9x 20100

however, due to wastage of power, you'll never get that much from it. you'd be lucky to get 6 full charges out of it. more likely 5...

so what i would do is have a smaller pack for use during the day, then the 20100 for use back at the tent overnight... the anker 10000mah unit is great (and again, is nearer £15 when on offer)

They do have fuel rods in the parks that you can change when hey die but I’d imaging they are much more expensive than pre bought ones.

Check the festival website - many do portable charger hire that you can book in advance and you can just keep going back and swapping a dead power pack for a fresh one. We did this for DD and maybe still buy a smaller one for the journey there/back.

Another recommendation for Anker. I have three different ones (including the 20100 mentioned above) depending how much capacity I think I'll need.

I have a great one by TPlink, mines a 15000 I regularly get 4-5 charges, I’d look at something like that for over night then a couple cheapie small ones for during the day?
Also having her phone on power saving mode will make it last a little better,
I’d also recommend a good cigarette lighter charger for the ride over so she starts the stint with full battery rather then her having to charge it from 5 mins after she arrives.
