I've had great experiences with the Asus Zenpower 10000 MAh, really rugged and has plenty of juice in a tiny package

Hi guys! Im going on a camping trip in the middle of nowhere (literally) in 2 weeks time, with no access to electricity!! that means i need some how to power my phone, its only for 4 days, and il be only using my phone (my secondary phone, lumia 640) for 2 hours a day max, So i dont need much power,

But i need something for under 30 pounds that is reliable, we're going to be in a tent so it shouldn't be too fragile, and and other added features such as solar panels and lights and idk RGB are all added bonuses that are welcomed but not required.

 

Thanks! Il be open to any questions!

I mean, if you're going camping, you should really only need your phone for an emergency calls no? If you must, just any well rated one off Amazon would probably do. So for example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-PowerCore-Ultra-Compact-High-speed-Technology/dp/B019GJLER8/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1498752931&sr=1-5&keywords=battery+bank

go on amazon and look for the battery bank with the highest miliamp rating

Not necessarily, and I guess you mean MAh not AMP?

Battery quality, general production quality, material and such is quite important aswell.
