Can someone recommend a powerbank for phones

Are there any particular brands you would go for. Light enough to carry around the parks would be helpful.

Are these ok to take on the plane or do they have to go in the hold ?

Maybe this
amazon/Anker-Ultra...ps%2C85&sr=8-5

or this solar one
amazon/dp/B07VCHZT...d-2805f92cef28

Have a few Anker power banks. Very good.

Always have to go in carry on luggage.

Anker one is 212g, solar one is 350g. I would go for Anker one, I’ve had a couple of their ones and very happy with them. You should get two charges out of that Anker one, you can get smaller/lighter ones but which would need daily charging.

Thanks for the advice, I'll probably go with Anker... although I have just seen this one. Have you heard of this brand Moxnice ?

Not a brand I’ve heard off. Bought a non-Anker one for my wife once as it was one she’d chosen, but it stopped holding a charge after a few weeks so replaced with Anker. Moxnice may well be okay, all I’d suggest is compare weight and dimensions…you need enough charge for the day but avoid buying something that turns out to be a brick!

I have a couple of Anker power banks, have worked pretty well so far!

One of mine has a USB-C output (in addition to the regular USB-A output) and can fast charge my iPhone, or even charge my iPad/MacbookAir so that's especially helpful.

We have three Ankers, we only use the lighter one for travel. I did have a cheap one but it didn't last long.
