INTRODUCTION

   Although mountain hiking has been in the family of Xtreme sports (one of the first ones actually) for many decades now it seems that more and more people are attracted to it as time goes by and it so happens that i know a couple of people who plan on visiting the top of mountain Olympus really soon (they wanted Everest but it's many times more expensive to get there from where they live). Taking such a decision of course requires quite a bit of planning and so aside the usual hiking equipment they also need to pack several other gadgets with them and this is where we come in since they came to me asking for a good powerbank with which they could charge their netbook (and hope 3G works up there) and smartphones. Well we had two choices for them, either a mid-capacity model with a solar panel which could be charged via the sun or one with a very high capacity which could last for quite a bit before running out. Solar panel models are good but in the winter and especially in a place like that they might not work well so a very high capacity model is a much safer bet. Even just 3 years ago portable battery packs with 10-15000mAh were not easy to find (not quality ones anyways) but today many make them and so this time over we have the latest Powerbank 20000 for laptop by Sandberg.

   This new Powerbank 20000 for laptop features a 20000mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack under its large aluminum body which should be more than enough to charge most notebooks out there at least three times via its configurable (12/16/19/20V) 3.5A DC output and 12 different tips (even high-end gaming notebooks feature rechargeable batteries with capacities of around 6-7000mAh). Unfortunately since it only has but a single USB 5V/2.5A output the Sandberg 20000mAh powerbank is not ideal for continuous use with small portable devices like smartphones and gadgets in general but that shouldn't pose a real problem if just used once in a while.
