I need something that's ~10,000mAh and will hold a charge for 4 days without losing much juice.

Climbing Kilimanjaro in February and need something to charge my camera, GoPro, and cellphone. I'll need probably two units, each around 10,000mAh. Preferably waterproof and even more preferable if it could have a solar panel that actually works!

Forgot to mention I'll be carrying this in my pack so weight/size is also important.

Any input appreciated

Get one from Anker. Their 26800mah battery pack is the largest you can buy right now. I think some other brands make the same but Anker has some safety features in it to make sure you're not carrying a bomb on your back. The only downside is that it'll take a good bit to recharge on just a standard 1amp phone charger. About 13hrs... if you have an high output speed charger like 2.5amp+ it'll charge the pack in 6-8hrs.

Anker says it'll charge a MBP 0-100% 3 times. So this is most likely more than what you need lol

They'll most definitely have some sort of Black Friday deal going on if you dont want to shell out the cash for full price.

Thanks man I couldn't find any from Anker that were waterproof so had to look elsewhere, ended up grabbing this one from Amazon. 20000mAh and waterproof, we'll see how it holds up.

Also got this little Anker unit as a backup for the Mrs. to carry.

I picked up a little ~5k mAh Anker unit as a backup for my SO to carry lol. I settled on the massive one I linked above. Been testing it this week, so far not too shabby.

The ones I have are a tad larger...you know, if you need to power a small city block for about 8 hours. 500 KVA - but do require a small semi to tote around.

HVDC is cool

Anker products are on sale @ Amazon!!

That looks boss. Just got back from my trip, used my power bank once the whole time lol. my GoPro and camera batteries lasted the entire 8 days I was off-grid. Better to be prepared I guess!

but this it has two purposes, you can cook and charge your electronics. I have seen others like this which work off the standard butane stove as well. Why carry the extra weight.

This is new I have not see this when I looked at this kind of charging system when I was backpacking with them son and his Boy Scout troop. I like this idea since you have to have pot to cook in anyway and I do not like the stove above since I use white gas stoves.

Powerbanks are awesome, always carry mine with me, using it right now sitting at the bar.
