Can anyone recommend a rechargeable power supply?

Required to charge iPhone and may be charge a laptop via a 3 pin outlet?

Thanks

Your best best is probably a compact generator, one like this

Thanks I will look at the link now.

I think there is a system bug as I put the thread up in the right place but it says moved - apologies admin.

I'm not sure a generator is what you want, it won't be allowed on lots of sites.

Funnily enough not for this purpose but I've just bought a booster pack for starting a car and did think it might be useful for power while camping, it has 12V, 19V and 2 USB outputs for phones and the like. Plus it can start your car if the battery is flat.

You don't want to power from a 3-pin unless you're using a genny.

Best off finding a DC-DC step for the laptop, and something (like the above post) that will give hi-Amp USB.

The jumping jack booster I mentioned above will charge a laptop, it has both 12V and 19V and a set of adapters to fit most laptops.
