You probably already read the whole thread, but it was aukey instead of anker... my bad.. corrected it in a later post.
Ah, actually missed that. Sounds good.

Got the 10k mAh to add to my setup. So far so good very lightMy setup has worked out great for the past several years (I charge 3 people's devices)
I will make one change this year and go to the 10k miliamp Anker that I carry for my phone and gopro just to save some weight.
I have been carrying the Anker 20k with me during the day

And then have this 26k at camp for recharging.(has a led on it too) I chose it because it has 2 inputs for charging and my Anker solar panel has 2 outputs (it means I can recharge the whole pack on a good sunny day)

Just a note this stuff isn't waterproof so you have to get a little creative. I use a small sheet of plastic.

The 10k seems to be where weight and power are going to work for me. I can get by with my 6700 Anker but 10k doesn't weigh much more.Got the 10k mAh to add to my setup. So far so good very light

Got this unit last year and its worked great.I've been seriously eyeballing the Anker model. Goal zero is a little too pricey IMO, it's a branding thing.

This has gotten really good reviews and they supposedly use Panasonic CR18650 batteries.
For the price of the 'name brands' you can almost buy 3-4 of these.
Having had these for a bit now i would say to hold off. They work ok but power is limited and for some reason go from full to dead on my garmin without showing any loss of bars.I don't really have any AA stuff normally anymore but the AAA version of those is interesting for a headlamp (could top it off each trip or after a long night, etc.).

Edit: Nevermind I see these capacity is like 1/3-1/2 of a typical alkaline battery, I don't think I'd want that much loss of capacity even if I could top them up on the fly.

On the other hand, the eneloop AAs i bought in 2015 are still going strong.
