Re: What powerbank

Hi, I've just been through this. It might be worth finding and understanding the fast charging protocol that your 'phone uses and then make sure that the power bank you choose can support that system. For instance I have Samsung so I had to find a bank that would do Qualcom's Fast Charge 3.0. Alex :-)

If any of the route is on "the plain" you might reasonably expect rain. That's where it mainly falls.
