20000 mAh is measured at the cell's 3.7 V; your phone charges at 5 V, and the conversion loses 30 to 35 percent, so what actually reaches the phone is closer to 13000 mAh -- about three and a half charges rather than five.
Full details →Who the iOttie Easy One Touch 5 Dashboard & Windshield Car Mount is for
Buy it if: Anyone mounting to a windscreen, which holds far better than a hot dashboard.
Avoid it if: Anyone relying on dashboard adhesion in summer -- it will drop the phone.
Who the Anker 325 Power Bank 20000mAh External Battery Pack is for
Buy it if: Travellers wanting several days of phone charging in something airline-legal.
Avoid it if: Anyone charging a laptop or wanting fast recharge -- 15 W in and out is slow at this capacity.
