 +We are most interested in

 +  * how much capacity the bank has (typically in Watt-hours, Wh)
 +  * charging limits 
 +    * by car adapter (typically ≤120w because of limitations of the ciggy port)
 +    * by wall adapter (volts and amps, sometimes the stock wall charger makes lower power than is otherwise possible)
 +    * by solar ([[electrical:solar:panels#specifications|Voc]] and input current, which will dictate which panels and how many are suitable)
 +  * DC output (typically 10A at 12v)
 +  * AC output (given as Watts, the biggest AC loads you can run)
