Does anyone have recommendations for 20k mah batter bank? Depending on what you're currently carrying, you might be better off just buying another 10k. I don't think I've ever needed it, but I carry a Nitecore 10k. 2 of these weigh slightly less than 1 20k power bank.

I haven't yet been able to come up with anything I even remotely need. Which is kind of depressing. 20% off of $97,000 antivenom seems like a good deal, at least in the US.

I don't think I've ever needed it, but I carry a Nitecore 10k. 2 of these weigh slightly less than 1 20k power bank. +1 on two 10,000 mAh packs. Mine are Anker. Two packs give you back up. I will use one freely and keep the other in reserve. Also you can charge two things at once if you really need to speed up charging.
I use these short cables:

I use these short cables: Here's something I recently picked up: link. Very small, and seems to work well.

They’re discounting electronics: the Garmin Inreach 67i is 499 vs 600, the 66i is 399

If I hadn't recently purchased an Inreach Mini 2, I'd be looking into this. Maybe its a good thing you didn't...

Does anyone have recommendations for 20k mah batter bank? I have an answer. it depends on your application. The Photo below is my current projected kit for 1,200 mi. PCT section hike 2024.
The PCT kit contains two (2) NiteCore Carbo 10000. I have a NiteCore Carbo 20000 in my Gear Repository at home. The PCT issue is access to recharging at trail towns. Often there will be fellow hiker competition for electrical outlets. The Anker 523 Charger (Nano 3) 2 USB-C ports can simultaneously charge at an output of 27W and 20W respectively. The NiteCore Carbo power bank whether 10000 or 20000 can only input at 18W. Therefore, I can charge both 10000 units at the same time for a faster overall charging time. Essentially, the NiteCore 20000 will take longer to recharge. A side note: The Garmin Mini (hardly used) and Petzl Core Battery will be recharged from the USB-A output port of the NiteCore Carbo 10000's. This can be done will charging the NiteCore. Your application is a one-off backcountry endeavor without a resupply or recharge whether it's point-to-point or loop. For that type of situation, I would more than likely go with the NiteCore Carbo 20000. As trinity pointed out there is a 1.5g wait savings (2) 10000 vs (1) 20000. Variables with management of essential electronic issues and applications is constantly changing. Good Luck! See you down trail!
