Much of today's carp kit runs on power, and being able to charge matters on a long session. In this group you will find power banks and power stations as well as solar panels and USB accessories. They keep your phone, headlamp and alarm receiver charged throughout the session.
A power bank is a compact, light way to charge a phone, headlamp and other small devices. Choose the capacity based on how many devices you charge and how many nights you spend on the bank.
A power station is larger and lasts longer. It can often charge several devices at once and suits long sessions. Some power stations can also charge bait boat batteries, so check the outputs in the product description.
A solar panel tops up charge during the day, so a power bank stays full for several days away from the mains. USB cables and accessories let you connect all your devices to the same source.
Keep power sources dry and protected from the cold, as damp and frost reduce battery performance. A small waterproof bag in the carryall keeps chargers and cables together and ready to use, and makes it easy to find the right lead in the dark.
