Is there any mention of Amp hours? I'm curious as to how many phone charges you get for £179!
Some tech specs here, I don’t speak mAh but would also be interested in the answer! https://www.goalzero.com/shop/sherpa-power-banks-and-accessories/sherpa-100ac-power-bank/
Allegedly 8 Smartphone re-charges.. That's pretty good, to be fair. I'm not totally convinced that it's £179 good, but for the weight (if that is the priority), it seems like a decent unit (on paper at least).
I think you might be paying extra for the full USB C PD voltages with this one. It'll do 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, or 20V out of the USB C port so will comfortably charge laptops via USB C.
If you only need a power bank to recharge phones you can get one way cheaper that just supports 5V (or 9V fast charge) out of the USB ports.
25,400 mah, yikes.
