The first powerbank is 6 years old and probably down to about 5,000MaH of degraded capacity, the other is a newer one but doesnât charge devices super fast. The last one is a flashy one thatâs super new and has USB C PD, fast charging, and wireless charging which is my primary one. The other 2 are backups.
Tailor your go bags to your specific situation. Iâd do 2. 1 for your immediate needs. If you had to be out for 24 hours without your car, what would you reasonably need? Try to balance things so you only take what youâd need so itâs easy to carry. The other bag I would do essentials to get you by for 3 or 4 days with a car (if you have one). Changes of clothes, tinned food, any meds or toiletries you need, some cash, etc. the first go bag might not be super necessary, I keep mine purely because I often donât know that my living situation will be safe this time tomorrow. Honestly the 2nd one you probably donât need either - I just suggest it because I used to live in the country, and with bushfires and such you need to be able to grab your essentials for a few days ASAP if you need them. Theyâre still a good idea to have in case of major floods, or an earthquake, or other natural disasters, though. But in the cities, the emergency meet points will have most of what you need anyway

Any specific power bank brand you like? Iâve got a big chunky anker that can power my laptop but I want to grab something smaller as a phone backup day to day.
Nice advice about the go-bag too.

My favourite of the 3 I have is the Belkin boost+charge. But it is quite large (2.5cm thick, 14cm long). The older one I have is a Console PBF10NY, but thatâs discontinued now. I canât remember what the other one is and canât seem to find it at the moment, but I think itâs a cygnett something or rather. Really any powerbank is a powerbank. Next time youâre at an Officeworks, have a look at what theyâve got. Any powerbank that has a USB C port that can be used for charging itself and other devices will probably charge quite quickly (I think this is usually sold as âUSB C PDâ or âPower Deliveryâ).
Wouldnât buy one from eBay or Amazon though, just because of safety and trustworthiness
