you are using it to also charge another device then that can considerably reduce it's capacity. I can fully charge my iPhone twice with it, but then of course that kills the battery pretty quick. But not bad if used as a last ditch need for charging.

The only thing I haven't been able to really test is the range given where I'm currently located, I'm in a bit of a dead zone at the moment, but I was easily able to do several kilometers in my initial test.

Image shows an iPhone attached magnetically to the Heltec MeshPocket and the contents of the package that are included in the MeshPocket's box including charging cable, data cable with pogo pins to communicate with Meshtastic device, and esp felt bag.
Excited to test out Heltec's new MeshPocket this weekend. It's a Qi2 powerbank + e-ink #meshtastic node in one. Additional power + comms, all pocket-sized.

Don't use the event firmware on your carefully-planned routers / set them up manually.
Very cool. Can't wait to hear how it goes!

This weekend I took a fun little trip up to Mount Mitchell (the highest point East of the Mississippi) to loan out my signal filter for our regional @meshtastic.org node on the communication tower site.
We turned it back on and got 100+ nodes within minutes, some over 100mi away.
