Incipio is extending its line of external batteries with the new offGRID Turbo and offGRID Turbo+ USB-C universal and USB-C integrated portable power banks. I’ve used previous iterations of the offGRID line They’re durable, easy to use and a great addition to any gear bag. I have no doubt the same will be true with these new offerings.
From Incipio:
Incipio’s latest portable power range includes two USB-C universal offGRID Turbo power banks and three USB-C integrated offGRID Turbo+ solutions, each featuring USB-C and USB-A ports for versatile and simultaneous device charging. The USB-C integrated offGRID™ Turbo+ power solutions include an attached USB-C cable that can be used as an input or output. With the integrated USB-C cable, users will have the convenience of an all-in-one charging solution to recharge their power bank or to charge their USB-C device.
USB-C Universal offGRID Turbo Power Banks
The offGRID Turbo 6,800mAh features a single USB-C port for input or output. The output delivers 18W via USB-C for charging smartphones and tablets.

Raina and I are headed to the Galapagos this summer, and I just may have to pick up one of the offGRID Turbo+ 16,000mAh. After all, it would be a bummer to miss a shot or not be able to share the experience because my phone or laptop died.
