I get ya, with me it’s the case of being lazy in my electronic designs, i never bother with charging and protective circuitry and just pop in a type-C port for power, so i have plenty laying around. That and rechargeable hand warmers for where i live, that double as pretty juicy powerbanks themselves.

I slow charge overnight at home but in the field the faster the better for the sake of minimising time dealing with a cable. When i sleep outdoors i keep my phone inside the sleeping bag so a fast charge to 100% before sleep is the way to go, and last year i had an incident abroad- had a bank and my phone in pocket with a loop of cable hanging out. Snagged on some scaffolding, fortunately only ripped the cable, not the port in my precious phone or in the scary little box full of fiery joules.

Feels like it too, the whole unscrewing experience is somewhat grindy, unpleasant and the light flashes intermittently throughout.
