    Anyone have suggestions for power banks they would recommend while camping?

    I'm riding RAGBRAI across Iowa this summer and while there will be charging stations, I want a couple power banks to charge my phone, watch, bike computer, etc., in my tent while I'm sleeping.

    How concerned should I be about heat while stored in my bag during the day? Bags are moved from each campsite by box truck, so I'm anticipating it'll get hot in a truck sitting in the sun all day.

    I have one of these and it works great: https://www.anker.com/ca/products/a110a-anker-prime-26k-300w-power-bank?variant=52628122632560

    I keep it in my laptop bag so can't speak to the heat thing, but Ankor has a pretty solid name when it comes to this stuff, as opposed to cheap knockoffs that have more battery explosion issues.

    I'd maybe get a small solar panel too to help charge it if you don't think that will last as long as you need it to.

    I don’t know if you have power tools, but some of the main brands have banks you can hook up to the batteries and turn it into a bank. They have LOTS of charge- like enough to run a few blender cycles on. They usually come with an AC plug, one for USB and and aux plug. And they are durable against heat and cold.
