Iâve bought some from zyron. Theyâre massive capacity and really cheap. The only tradeoff is theyâre not the most powerful. But you can go anker or ugreen if you need high capacity and enough power to charge something like a laptop

A 10,000mah power bank should be sufficient to charge most phones 1.5-2.5 times. 10,000mah powerbanks are fairly cheap at Officeworks. The cheapest models are about $35, though Iâd personally go up to the ~$50 ones and get a Belkin or Cygnet branded one, just because I have more experiences with those brands than the black and gold-esque Otto branded ones
20,000mah powerbanks are also quite widely available, and go for about $70 bucks and should be good for a days usage at least (assuming youâre chronically online and had a power guzzling phone), or even up to a week if you rationed your usage and keep it off while not in use. They are bulkier though, so itâs worth weighing up whether you think thereâd be a situation you need that much power in, and if the weight and size is worth it
One last piece of advice (sorry, I know you didn't ask)
Regardless of what cables you currently charge your phone with, get a powerbank with USB-A, and USB-C ports. Iâm still using my oldest power bank 6 years later and have upgraded phones twice since then. Back then I thought USB-C was for rich people, since my phone only had micro USB. Now I dislike USB-A cables and prefer USB-C to C cables, but I have a massage gun with a USB-C port that will only charge with an A-C cable, and my Fitbit still has a full size USB cable. Also if youâre with mates and want to let them borrow it etc, just easier

Did you mean to reply to me?
Also, whatâs zyrtec

Yeah, adding on to what you were saying.
Zyron is a brand of powerbanks and chargers. I donât know if theyâre trying to expand into Australia or what, because their online store is generous with free postage and does deep discounts on sales

Iâve never heard of them, but it looks like theyâve got reasonably priced power banks. I am actually in the market for a larger capacity one myself, so depending on how long the sale lasts, I might try their 30,000mah one
I know the rec wasnât aimed at me, but thanks for the recco anyway! Iâm going to steal it

Yeah absolutely. Iâve got two solar panel power banks but they donât have the right connection type after getting a new phone, and the adapter dongle things I bought donât seem to work right
