This one has served me well. Does at least 3 full charges

Not the cheapest but I use Apple’s MagSafe power bank. Plug my charging cable into it on a night, plonk my phone onto it and both are ready to go in the morning. I’m sure there are cheaper, non-Apple alternatives but can certainly vouch for this:

I bought this in the summer, it’s the best rated according to Which? Lasts an age.
Just some maths for you @Herr Tubthumper...
iPhone 15 / 15 Pro c3,300mAh
iPhone 15 Pro Max c4,400mAh
Typically, you get about 2/3 of the stated capacity of a battery pack due to power inefficiency, so a 10,000mAh battery pack will charge an iPhone 15 or 15 Pro twice, give or take, and a 15 Pro Max one-and-a-half times.
So, if you just need it to get you through a day, then a 10,000mAh battery should be more than adequate.
I bought this one a few years back...
It's pretty bulky, so one for the manbag and not a jean pocket, but....
- being 25,000mAh, it's a large capacity so doesn't need to be charged each time I use it. Nothing more frustrating than heading out, grabbing your battery pack and realising it's got little/no charge because you forgot to charge it.
- With the four solar panels, you can get some charge to it even if you don't have mains access. Makes it good for camping and festivals etc.

Another recommendation for Anker, good and durable

We’ve got the same model on our roof.
Check the dimensions before you buy. Made the mistake of ordering one online and it turned up bigger than the damn phone. I now use Anker as per Weststander's post.

Creep.
I'm passing on the credit/blame to @Papa Lazarou. We went camping with him once and he had a battery pack with a fold-out solar panel, and I had battery pack envy.

I'm another Anker Wanker.
They do seem to last.
Alternatively I'm got an absolutely huge one so big its banned from hand luggage and has its own cooling fan.
I once whipped it out on a train and was able to satisfy a couples needs simultaneously and still had lead in the pencil when I got home.
It does need a full recharge over night though.

Moving parts = shorter lifespan, in my humble opinion.

Power bank has been delivered, to someone I can’t locate. Allegedly they’re a neighbour. Booooooo
