Men, women, transgender pre-op, transgender post-op, androgynous, etc,

I need an external power pack that's capable of fully charging an iPhone 6+ at least twice. The power pack needs to be tough and reliable (it's going overnight up a mountain in Scotland), and I know not all are made equal with some being cheap Chinese shite.

Can anyone share any experience of purchasing an external battery pack? I'm currently looking at this:

After a few reviews, it seems that the ibattz units use quality cells in them.

Any help much appreciated.

I recently got one of these, though I haven't had much need for it so far. It seems pretty well built though, and can hold a lot of charge. It does take a long time to fill up though... It seems decent for the price though, but in the long term, might end up getting just what you pay for...

I got one of these on BlackFriday week for about £16. It feel solid and I do really like Anker Gear and I don't think I am the only person. I charged my One Plus One and a Fire Tablet in a Travel Lodge at the weekend off it because they had no plugs near the bed and it was still well over half in the morning. It is the only time I have used it so nothing to say about the life cycle of it.

That's looks just the ticket, I'll check them out, like the low temperature operation of it.

I have an Anker AstroPro. It's a bit chunkier than the average pack (but still only the size of a thin paperback) but it will recharge my iPhone and my Tab 3-4 times each in a week. Its great, saved me from even more misery than I was already experiencing when I was stuck on a RyanAir plane for six hours last week.
