So, I bought it for a backpacking trip through the Scandinavian Arctic, and it worked just fine. It charged my phone. It charged properly. Coming from an older model, I actually had to buy a cord at the last second once I got to Norway because I realized that this has USBC only.

Then we recommend the Nitecore NB10000 Gen 3, which weighs just 150g. Its carbon fibre shell, IPX5 water resistance and dual USB-C ports make it especially appealing for hikers, travellers and minimalists who want power without bulk. It's powerful enough to recharge most smartphones about three times while slipping easily into a pocket or side pouch.
