INTRODUCTION

   The entire world may virtually be under lockdown due to COVID-19 but that hasn't stopped people from enjoying nature so many friends of mine have gone hiking, camping and even kayaking these past months. This however also means that some of them came over asking about which powerbank to get in order to have enough juice for their smartphones, LED lamps and peripherals for the entire duration of their activities. This however is somewhat tricky since a single couple needs at least 6.000mAh for smartphone charging every 2-3 days (some even in a single day, depending on smartphone use) so adding a couple of LED lamps in the equation and 2 headsets that number easily surpasses 10.000mAh for 2-3 days and since those friends would be away for roughly a week that means they required a rugged powerbank with a capacity of at least 20.000mAh (ideally over 30.000mAh). The Survivor Camper Powerbank by Sandberg seemed like their best bet so i got one to test and see if that was really the case.

   Sandberg stands for quality and user-friendliness. If it is important for you that accessories are high quality and easy to figure out how to use, then choose Sandberg. Our ideology "IT is for everybody" is part of everything we do. Since its inception in 1985, private consumers, institutions and companies have benefited from this simple philosophy. Distributors and dealers appreciate the availability, range, simple procedures and the exceptionally low failure rate. Every year over half a million Sandberg products find their way to users in more than 30 countries. Choosing Sandberg means choosing a safe and conscientious product that meets all applicable regulatory requirements. A product manufactured by subcontractors who are committed to following Sandberg's Code of Conduct to ensure decent working conditions and reduce the environmental impact of the production and waste disposal.

   The Survivor Camper features an IP64 certified (dust proof and water resistant / -10 +45 degrees Celsius working temperature) rugged external enclosure inside which Sandberg has squeezed a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack with a massive 42.000mAh (155Wh) capacity. To use this massive lithium-ion battery Sandberg has placed numerous outputs on the Survivor Camper including a cigarette lighter output (12V/8A), DC output (12V/9A), two USB-A outputs (5V/2.1A) and a single USB-C PD output (30W). Just like many other rugged powerbanks the Survivor Camper is also equipped with 4 battery status indicator LEDs and an LED torch, this time however a very strong/effective 6W model (white) which should easily illuminate several meters at night. So, let's move forward with today's review and see what the Survivor Camper Powerbank (which by the way is covered by a 5-year limited warranty) by Sandberg is all about.
