Fishing Gear: Dakota Lithium Powerbox 10

Dakota Lithium Powerbox 10 portable power source

Description and Application: The Powerbox provides the freedom to use one battery to power many things, including mobile phones, cameras or whatever needs charging power. The unit is designed to be a universal and mobile charging station, including two USB ports, a 12v car plug (cigarette lighter) and a binder posts. For nighttime use, the Powerbox features a high-efficiency LED flashlight. Solar panels can be quickly connected to the binder posts providing extensive and dependable power. Everything housed in a water- and shock-resistant case and powered by a 12v Dakota Lithium LiFePO4 10Ah battery. Charger included.

Staff Perspective: I’ve had this thing for over a year now, and it gets used nearly as much as my phone charger. I can keep GoPros up and running all day long through hardwiring, or battery charging. I could probably list 101 uses, and I can assure you that in today’s digital age, having adequate power handy can be a lifesaver.—TA
