I appreciate all of the feedback and the variety of possible solutions. It was a good topic!
For now I am going with a RAVPower 32000mAh Power Bank 6A Output which will give me around 13 full recharges of my en-el15a batteries figuring in a 20% loss of power from time and in the transfer process. I will also have a charger for the camera battery with a cigarette lighter adapter. I am also getting a USB cig lighter adapter to recharge the power bank.

The "why" isn't important, just want to know if it's possible, same image, just trying to avoid manually starting the action a lot of times...

Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to have an action repeat a specific number of times (such as 50) at a specific interval (such as every 5 seconds)?
Thank you,
Dave

I would rather not depend on the sun and clear skies. Many years ago when I had the "state of the art" Hi 8 video camera, I had a belt battery pack and a solar charger for a remote raft trip in the Yukon. It did work fine as long as the sun was out.

It's the D850 and I will have about 8 batteries and hundreds of GB of XQD and SD cards. I just want something that can give me a better chance of not running out of batteries. It is hard to know for sure how many photos I will be taking, how many sequences of stacking, how much I will use live view, what the temperature will be etc. Also, without a normal power supply I won't be able to use a laptop for backup of photos either.

Mongolia according to Google, uses 220 V has an advantage over lower voltage such as the 110 V that it is cheaper to transmit. On the other hand, 220 V is more dangerous than lower voltages. The plugs used in Mongolia are C or E. Moreover you can use a universal plug adapter or converter.
I would contact your travel company in Mongolia to address your concern as to how to ytavel your batteries.

My question is about how to charge batteries in a vehicle, not in a motel room.

A ger is what nomadic families in Mongolia live in, pretty much like a Yurt.
I have to check on the vehicle voltage. It will most likely be a Russian van.

Hello,
My wife and I will be taking a trip this September in remote western Mongolia. It will be a combination of pack trip and driving but staying in tents or gers. The point is I don't think any power will be available. Has anyone tried either of these products to recharge camera batteries? Any input on how well they work or other options would be appreciated.

I had great luck in November, ordered from a local camera store here in Colorado and received it 1 week later. Have been enjoying it ever since!

So I now have completely opposite opinions, don't know what is correct...

Hello everyone,
I have received notice of an update for my Nikon D850. This is something I have not done in the past so I am concerned that any settings I have changed in the menus might not be carried forward with an update. Do I need to be concerned with this? Please share your knowledge and experience with doing updates. (I searched for firmware updates but found nothing recent)
Thanks,
Dave
