    Portable power

    In planning for my cross country road trip I purchased a power portable supply.


    I wanted something that could be charged from my car, provide USB power and mains power (110V).


    I bought this Jackery power bank. I wondered if any of you have used such a thing or what your thoughts or recomendations might be for power whilst on a road trip?

    I don’t have one but Jackery is well regarded. My only concern is whether 167wh will meet your needs. I trust you know how to do the math and decided it was. I did notice the model you purchased isn’t listed on the power comparison on the product page, only it’s bigger brothers. Plan for some loss when using the inverter side.

    Curious if you plan to charge with solar and if so which panel you got. Would imagine you could do better than jackery branded panels.
