I'm looking for a powerbank for the van. Will be used to power led lights, charge phones/tablets etc... 5 days max. Got a budget of around £500 or is that a bit ambitious. Any recommendations?
 
I have a Jackery 1000 which I've owned for almost 3 years and still going strong.
Also have a look at Vtoman portable power station on Amazon and Ebay, although I have not bought or used a Vtoman myself.
 
Have the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max Portable Power Station 512Wh/500W.. got pretty cheap in the sales last year but see the 1000w version isn't far off the same price depending where you look

I never bought one (bc in the end I’ve found I’m fine with a combo of charging on the go, my leisure battery and a couple of small power-banks… we’re really only charging small electronics - phones, iPads etc - might one day consider one for charging my eMTB!)

…but from my research the main brands (Ecoflow, Jackery, Bluetti and now other entrants such as Anker etc) were much of muchness.
Basically you’re paying for a battery with built-in charging capability and inverter (and it’s all pretty commodity) + some design/marketing (albeit fast-paced lifecycle).
So my conclusion was basically go for whatever you can find on offer to get good bang for buck.

I've just bought a Jackery 1000 v2 as they're on offer atm £549 on the Jackery site. I read up about a few stations and decided to go for this one. Might be a little more powerful than what I need it for but it's always better to have too much than not enough ;)
