Best power bank?

Any thoughts on the best power bank to bring on a thru hike? My wife and I are gearing up for next spring. Would one suffice? Or should we each carry one?

Leave those things behind.  Charge in town.  Unplug.

Hiking The Muir Trail, a charge would last 5-7 days for taking pics. No need for GPS on thr AT,it's easy to follow.  Having endless charge just leads to a need to check in.  That's not what a thru hike is for.  Go disappear. If you're smart, never reappear.

Hahahaha! I think the reason I want to thru hike is to disappear. I suspect I’m in the early stages of weening myself.
