Is there a Power Bank that can also be charged with electricity?

There was one I know of, some years ago - but they were very low capacity, low output power and not made for long.

I've not seen any like that for years. It would add size and weight, as other than the casing it would still need most of the circuitry from both a charger and power bank. It also mean the power bank would need additional, expensive, certification for mains safety, which a low voltage device does not need.

THANKS so much!!

Yes, there is maaaany. Now called battery generators, solar generators, inverters, UPS, power station... Search as 'camping generators'

In many flavors and prices, many smaller than ...

Yes, I understand, today I discovered a new thing that I didn't know and it's interesting. But it doesn't serve my purpose, I have to charge a lot of things for video and photography in my trips around the world and a device like that wouldn't be good for me.
Anyway thank you.

VERY GOOD, thanks

You’re right-there are indeed power banks designed to be recharged both from a 220V wall socket and via USB, effectively combining the functions of a power bank and a wall charger into one compact device. This kind of hybrid product can definitely lighten your load by replacing carrying both a power bank and a separate charger.

For example, the myCharge Power + Plug 20K Charger features built-in wall prongs so you can recharge it directly from any wall outlet, and it also has a USB-C port for charging via USB. It can charge two devices simultaneously and offers a large 20,000mAh capacity, providing extended battery life for smartphones and tablets https://mycharge.com/products/power-and-plug-20k-charger-w-built-in-cable-plug

Similarly, the Mophie Powerstation Plus Ultra 10K includes integrated folding wall prongs and USB-C and Lightning cables, allowing you to recharge the power bank from a wall socket or USB-C port. It supports fast charging and can charge multiple devices at once, making it very versatile for on-the-go use.

Another example is the ENEGON 15,000mAh power bank with AC outlet, which has a built-in foldable wall plug and USB-C input. It supports fast charging both ways and can charge multiple devices simultaneously. This model emphasizes being truly cable-free and convenient for travel.

Even Belkin offers a Hybrid Wall Charger 25W + Power Bank 5K, a compact device that works as a power bank on the go and a USB-C PD wall charger when plugged into a power outlet.

Your idea of a single device that combines these functions is already being realized by several products on the market, but there is always room for innovation-such as improving capacity, reducing size, or adding more charging ports. It would be great to hear more about your expectations and desired features for such a product to better understand what improvements or new ideas could make it even better.
If you want, feel free to share what you hope such a hybrid power bank could offer beyond what’s currently available!

My idea of a PB is to have a small one that fits in your pocket but has a lot of capacity. But I already know that it's like going to the moon with a rocket without propellant. ahahahahah
Thanks for your info.
