Power on the bank has become increasingly indispensable in recent years, driven by the proliferation of electronic devices in fishing and the perennial issue of dwindling mobile phone battery life. Whether for an overnight stay or a prolonged session, the need to keep gadgets charged is paramount and RidgeMonkey’s Vault range has led the way for several years now!

There are three models in the range to suit a wide range of applications and requirements, from big beastly models suited to longer sessions, down to more compact offerings that are perfect for keeping your mobile topped up on the bank.

At £247.99 the flagship RidgeMonkey Vault boasts a substantial 77,850mAh Premium Grade lithium polymer battery. This not only offers ample storage capacity but also guarantees longevity and sustained performance. Equipped with multiple outputs, including a 12V DC socket and two USB-A ports delivering 5V 3A each, the Vault accommodates various charging needs. Crucially, its USB-C port supports Power Delivery up to 60 watts, catering to modern laptops and fast-charging devices. This flexibility eliminates the need for bulky adaptors, streamlining any setup on the bank. Beyond utility, the Vault features wireless charging—a convenient option for topping up devices without cables and invaluable in certain situations, offering a cable-free solution.

This larger Vault model can power a Plus-sized phone up to 15 times or a conventional phone up to 20-30 times – an impressive feat that underscores its reliability for extended outings. Despite its robust capabilities, the Vault Wireless is undeniably hefty, tipping the scales at nearly 1.5kg. For those seeking a lighter alternative or a more travel-friendly option, there is also a mid-sized 42150mAh model (£172.99) and a more compact 26,950mAh model (£109.99). These are perfectly suited to more conventional sessions in the UK and even day sessions or overnighters where you might want to have assured power available without being weighed down.

For anyone spending extended periods outdoors or simply needing reliable power backup, the RidgeMonkey Vault stands tall as a dependable companion. Its blend of high-capacity storage, versatile outputs, and durable design makes it a worthwhile investment for any angler.
