A Very Neat Solution
I'm not a big user of guitar effects, but there are some things you do need. Not knowing much about effects pedals I decided to invest in a Mooer multi-effects unit with a view to learning what would actually be of use to me. It's really rather good but it comes with an external power supply and a cable that's only about 1m long, so it's pretty inconvenient.
I decided to see if I could get around the problem of being tethered to the wall by using a battery pack. The HP Powerplant is an ideal solution and I can now put the Mooer anywhere I want and not be constrained by the location of power outlets.
The Powerbank came partially charged and powered up the Mooer immediately with absolutely no hassle. It comes with a very comprehensive set of connectors. For my purposes I would have liked one very short connector but I can live with the longer ones provided.
Recharging it was easy except that the USB cable is so short that it didn't reach from the power outlet to the floor or desktop. I had to prop up the battery pack on a couple of books.
The battery life and recharging time are perfectly adequate for my needs.
So far it seems like a good solution to my problem and my next step will be to devise a way of putting the Mooer and the Power bank into a single housing for convenience (sounds a bit like a pedal board :) )

Superb product.
I tested:
2x Zoom MS100BT (500 mAh Max each)
RC-3 (70 mAh Max)
Harley Benton DI pre amp 110 mAh)
Relay G10 via USB
All connected at the same time.
I could get about 4h from the HB power bank.
Now here comes the cool part: I have an extra RavPower power bank with 10.000 mA capacity that I connected while the Harley benton power bank was in use and the extra power bank was actually charging up the harley benton unit. No overheat, no worrying temperature noted at all.
I'm gonna run another endurance test with both power banks fully charged and see how long all the gear stays up. If I can get 7 or 8 hours I'm set. If not, I really don't mind getting an extra HB power bank.
I also tried the HB power bank with the Boss RC-3 for 6h and the power bank had the exact same power before all those hours working.
Points in favor:
- Ease of use, problem free
- Can be charged while providing power (this is a big plus, you can just daisy chain to an extra power bank)
- No shenanigans, no temperature issues. Just works.
- Sound signal was perfectly clean.
- Slim form factor, you can slide it under your pedalboard.
- Extra torch light is a nice touch. Also the way to turn it on.

Best battery you could get, it's always fully charged!
I always you use it, maybe 3 times per week and have to recharge it maybe every 2 to 3 weeks :)

So far, no complaints
Initially I came to buy a second Rockboard Power LT (not the XL version), but it's not available anymore. For 20 euros , it had the best cost-benefit in the category.
The HB power bank comes in second but doesn't disappoint. It's been working flawlessly so far and really holding the charge. And it has the advantage of powering pedals while charging itself.
For the same price, there's the Rockboard Power LT XL, but it's pink and only 6,600 mAH.

Great for the job
It does what it should, provides power to the effects. No noise, battery last a long long time. In fact probably 20-30 hours with two effects. One overdrive that uses little power and one reverb that uses a lot of power. Very small too, size of a standard mobile phone...it can be used as a power supply for phones and other stuff (like guitar wireless set)

Super useful!
I bought this to put under my nano flyrig board. Only 600mA power the entire board so thisone leaves me a lot of extra room for extras on the 2nd 9v output, and then there's also the very useful USB socket to plug a USB to 9v cable in or connect a led strip or phone charger to. It also has a flashlight LED, super useful for any musician working with gear in dark and shady places
Nice and slim design so it fits well under the smallest pedalboards like a nano+.
Unfortunately the ridged case doesn't help velcro stick to it very well, and one of the two 9V DC cables that came with it has a bent plug which cause bad connections.

Nothing to dislike.
This is a fabulous solution for portably powering your pedals. If the amperage suits (1.2A) then at this price this is a steal. You shouldn't miss it. Quality build. Battery goes and goes. Can take on charge whilst operating. Can charge your phone (or other USB devices) too. Low profile allows it to sit easily under the lowest of pedal boards. No noise. Fantastic. Can't recommend highly enough.

Excellent Value Power-Pack
Finding a close power outlet at the front of a stage can be real pain... and then you have that skinny, almost invisible, fragile PSU cable running to your FX pedals. A powerbank such as this one eliminates that! I can run my Hotone Ampero ii Stomp (@9v) plus two other smaller pedals for around 3 hours easily. I can't recommend it highly enough... small, light and powerful. Love it.

Best thing since...
Powered two pedals, 3hrs minimum per day for two weeks and still had 50% capacity. Use the recommended 2 amp USB wall wart for faster charging. Initial charge from 75% to 100% was hours long with the 1 amp cubes I had. Laptop in sleep mode via HS USB was faster even from 50% down.
