Most of the time I leave the electronics at home. But some times we like to shoot some fun video so if I take anything, I take one TYLT USB charger - I'll use it to recharge my GoPro, video camera, phone. Got mine at Costco.

I am thinking of buying an external battery charger/pack for hiking. This battery charger will be used to power smartphones and tablets that we take with us. I am considering two models: Innergie PocketCell Duo and Anker Astro 5600. Has anyone used these batteries before? What did you like/didn't like about them?

Based on your experience, what are the most important features for an external battery pack for hiking?

Thanks,

Leon
