December is that time of the year when you’re constantly trying to juggle seeing three sets of mates in different locations, which is why the phone battery tends to take a hammering.

Then there’s all the sunsets and cocktails you’re taking photos of, that doesn’t half suck your power either. Add up all that, and the hilarious voice note you sent last night that everyone wants to listen to, and what you have is a perilous battery situation going on.

Of course if you have yourself a Solar Power Bank all those worries can be left for a rainy day (I had to, I’m sorry). Now down to just R299 (35% off, free delivery) and available in silver, red or black this little bugger packs a punch.
