I have flashlights that use lithium batteries, so I got a [XTAR PB2S](https://www.xtar.cc/product/XTAR-PB2S-Charger-122.html) charger that doubles as a usb power bank. It holds two 21700 batteries and you can use it as a power bank without ever touching the batteries (after you put them in once when you buy it). The batteries are the thing that’s going to degrade after time, so with this you can replace them when that time comes. As a bonus you can carry extra batteries (in a protective case!) so you can swap them out if you ever use up the charge on your bank’s batteries
