I tried to destroy this $45 power bank (including driving over it with a tractor) - it refused to break


The Elecom Nestout power bank is one of the toughest power banks I've tested.

If you work outdoors, are a member of the emergency services, or just incredibly clumsy with your gear, you need a power bank that can survive the worst Mother Nature can throw at you. These power banks come in a rage of capacities – 5,000mAh, 10,000mh, and 15,000mAh --- and they are IP67-rated (completely dustproof and tested to resist immersion in a meter of water for 30 minutes). The lithium-ion cells holding the power are protected from knocks and water by a hard outer shell and inside that is a soft silicone cushion to absorb impacts and vibration.
