Kilimanjaro Tips – power!!
Trekking to the summit of Kilimanjaro is on many peoples bucket list. The popularity of reaching the roof of Africa is due to Mount Kilimanjaros realitvily easy terrain, which involves no technical climbing!
That being said is not an easy trek due to the high altitude and should be taken lightly.
But in a technological energy dependent world this can be difficult!!
So how to charge those smartphones, garmin watch, the electric toothbrush and the GPS tracker, especially when there is direct access to the national grid?
There a number of options available from solar panel chargers and USB power pack.
There is a vast number of products on the market from the single charge to a multiple charge units. Power ratings are graded in mAh (don’t ask!), the higher the number capacity the more charges we have. For example the unit we use (purchased off eBay) has a 50,000 mAh rating which gives around 5-6 full iPhone 6 charges.
As with all battery driven products the cold will effect the battery life and its capacity to retain the charge!
Search on eBay for ‘usb power hub 50000 mah’.
Solar Panels –
The number and style of products on the market is again vast. Options available are single panel to multi panel. The more panels the faster the charge.
