Re: Anker PowerHouse II 400 deal

Which panel did you choose? Thanks. The Nitecore FSP100 looks good at 24% efficiency but is pricey!

Anker PowerHouse II 400 deal

https://uk.anker.com/collections/portab ... ucts/a1730

Would suit our minimal needs in the event of a power cut but not top of our shopping list as we managed with power banks last time. £100 off at the moment.

Re: Mental Health.

Lifelong bipolar sufferer here. Not much to report as I’ve learnt to manage how to get by. Useful in that I understand how to support other people’s poor mental health. BTW, I recommend taking the mental health first aid training as well as first aid.

Just got a huge unexpected free delivery from our community fridge. Half tins and half veg. Looks like I’ll be processing the latter into the wee hours!

Agree with you there. I’ve a few Ravpower too which have proved reliable. Rather than a combined solar panel/power pack, I use separate folding panel and pack as the panel on the combined version isn’t very powerful.
