Trying out the Eton frx1 and frx2.

In an emergency situation, what else do you need to do (electronically, that requires battery power) besides this?

I can see trying to obtain your current location via a GPS capable device, and then calling for help to be sent to that location. What are other emergency electronic concerns that I am missing? I am talking short term emergencies - not long term years and years of trying to power you HAM radio outfit from batteries.

I would venture a guess that a device with one fully charged set of batteries, and maybe a power bank if that device is especially battery-hungry, would pretty much cover your emergency needs.

One of the eton models has a solar panel as well ( and is currently on sale on amazon)

I've determined for urban edc that a power pack (with a build in wall plug) is the way to go.
For home or wilderness solar/ crank charger or both

not selling this, just an example

SOLAR Anker 21 watt with 2 USB ports

in sunlight, charges 2 phones in a few house.

In clouds, charger 2 phone in 6 hours.

I Agree with Teacher regarding power packs---I have power pack in EDC bag,

I use the Solar to charger the Power pack when camping.

solar best. but for long term storage in an underground storm shelter, it could come in handy while awaiting out a tornado, or rescue should the door get blocked.
