To all, We will be in a remote cabin, having been dropped off, no AC (electricity), no car. There is solar for lighting, and propane for cooking. A Walkie Talkie for emergencies, with the travel time from people at least an hour away. I am looking for a reliable, able to be carried aboard an aircraft, power bank to recharge IPads and IPhones, cameras as well, although I do have several extra batteries as well.

Thanks for everyone's replies.

The thing with power banks is that there are about a dozen companies that make good reliable ones, and a thousand who use unknown parts. Buy a good name. Will you have a car or access to a car, get an adapter. Solar cells can work, but if the panel only covers one side of a portable power bank, it will take a LONG time to charge. Some have folding panels, which are better. There are also hand crank generators that are not too bulky.
Good luck

I know only too well. That is the purpose of my question, first hand experience with a power bank that has been carried on an airplane. So far, I have not seen one mentioned here.

I have had good success with the Anker products, from Amazon. Used Iniu as well but it doesn’t seem to hold a charge as long, 100% when I leave and zero a few days later

I have a 500 Watt battery power supply,
the brand is JACKERY, I bought on line but it is available at Costco which includes Solar power panels.
I have mine since 2021 and still works great, it has outlets for 12v, 120v AC
(pure sine wave) , and several USB ports.
I keep mine in my car, and it powers a
frezzer/refrigerator cooler when needed
and will recharge with my car AC.
I t works great.

I have purchase many power banks off Amazon and not one has failed. One several years old did split open, but recharged fine. It is easy to charge cell phones or pads, but never tried to recharge most camera batteries. I do think I have some USB chargers for smaller camera batteries, point and shoot, which often be charged directly with a USB to camera cable anyhow. But don't know if such exists for a Canon R for example. A Canon battery is over 7 volts and would require an up voltage converter to charge on 5v USB. Voltage converters for 12 to 120v are inefficient and you don't have 12 volt battery to start with. I've been to the location twice and I don't remember it being real clear weather for solar? Plenty of animals, no plants (acid bogs) and landmines and very changeable weather. I have the Jackery, but running it on 120 will waste energy.
