Yes, totally agree, car is primary recharging source. Solar was more a thought for when camping.

Look at the stand alone folding panels but there's lots of rubbish out there

My new to me folding caravan has a "built in" leisure battery my car has a funky alternator so the generic caravan charging relay just won't work without £150+ throwing at it I already had a 60w 12v solar panel so it's now sporting a Anderson plug so I can just plug in on site and point it at the summer cloud / sun

Another +1 for Anker. I have two, had them for a few years now and they're both holding up well!

Have had an Anker PowerCore 20100 for a number of years- 20,000mAh advertised capacity.

Agree with others that it's best to avoid the gimmicky solar panel power banks - last thing the lithium rechargable cells need is to be cooked in the sun all day!

Lots of companies do small/portable folding panels with USB output, more efficient to charge your device directly, if possible.

For car camping, I'll charge the powerbank and/or devices directly when driving.

When stationary (and in good weather), I've a small 30w panel with a charge controller I use to keep the starter battery charged up while charging phones/batteries from the car.
