Not sure if they are authorised stockists though so please do your own due diligence before committing to any purchase.

Yes, cheap power banks are readily available that will simply charge up your device, just don’t expect them to do so with any great efficiency or speed, often a cheap 10,000 MaH will not offer as much output charge as a reasonable quality 6400 MaH one, not only that they take far longer to recharge both themselves & your device as well.
If you value low weight & volume, unit efficiency, fast charge & discharge rates, pass-through charging, multiple high-quality connections, etc then it will obviously cost quite a bit than than the cheap non-branded ones.
I decided that I value all of the above so I bought one of the Nitecore NB10000 & have been very happy with how it’s performed having used it extensively on-trail last year.
Recently, I’ve seen them advertised for as little as $70-80 from authorised (not grey importer) suppliers which is an excellent price for a power bank of this quality, performance & functionality.
