Thanks for the info guys, it was hot around the port and the ipad was quite flat, i’ll make sure in future to not let any device get too low before I top up, thanks again.

On low power (trips on full) it'll get 35 mins run time

Added bonus from nearly flat it'll recharge in about 2hrs from the car cig lighter (average holiday running about visiting places)
Whats the make and model of that one please?

This (along with any other expensive items) are stealth-preps, they have to have 'normal' uses as I'm the only prepper in the household ;)

Shop about always a sale on somewhere

Might want to go a bit bigger they do a river 2 max

You may also need a travel hair drier that has a suitably low wattage. Some of the brush style hair drier models are sub 1000W.
