I've got 3 PowerBanks, but the best one is by far XIAOMI 5000:

.com/Original-XIAOMI-5000mAh-Ultra-thin-9_9mm-Power-Bank-For-Mobile-Phone-p-957081.html[/url]
Got it as a prize from
SPAMCORP
and it's great.. good looking, light and thin, great quality, cables are really well made (usually Power Bank cables break in a few weeks).
It charges my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini) about 2 and a half times on a full charge... ow and it's blistering fast.. charges far faster than directly from the power plug.
Highly recommended.. only thing I did not like was the gritty finish... feel like an old blackboard.. but still it's grippy and others like the finish...

makes you wonder why those batteries/systems aren't part of the gadgets in the first place...
The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

I have 2x of the Anker brand portable batteries from Amazon (10,000 mAh and 16,000 mAh) as well as the "Amazon Basics" brand battery (10,000 mAh). They rock. I carry one in my Man Sack, and they come in handy for charging the cell phone. Depending on the phone, and when factoring in the losses inherent in this kind of thing, 10,000 mAh will charge a phone maybe 3-5 times. The ones I'm talking about run in the $30 range. Good stuff.

I got one as a price at my job. it is rated at 10.000mha and has 2 conectors, 1.0a and 2.1a. Also a smal torch.
used it during a 10 hr flight to keep my phone and PSvita charged. Never got below 2 lights from 5. All in all a great gift. the only down side is the size. that might be an issue. mine is a tad bigger than a pack of smokes
