Power banks

[Cath-T]

Hi

Sorry of this has been asked before.... I have a number of power banks to charge my mobile phone while I'm at Glastonbury, however I know that they lose charge after you've charged them even if they are not used. Therefore what I wanted to know is when I should charge them all? Will they last 5-7 days being fully charged and not used or not?

As close to the festival as possible, is the obvious answer. Also, use the lock ups - they will charge your phone for you and you can pick it up later.

Lithium based chargers don't lose their charge quickly, I wouldn't sweat it at all and just charge them the week before and carry on as is.

Thanks very much - I don't use the phone that much but photos take a lot of my battery power up...

Just bought a mega powerful one off amazon. 20000 or whatever that is. Cost £20.

Apparently good for 5-6 iphone/andorid charges. And its got three outputs if you want to share.

Seriously considering taking a crap phone this year. Managed to bend/crack my Samsung S6 climbing into tractor (before getting caravan pulled out) last year.

And a 'smaller' phone will need less charge.

charge them a few days before you go - they will store the charge for weeks.
