All of them, if there’s no power grid.

  That doesn't answer my question AND isn't even accurate. (Ex: I could charge my tablet with an Anker solar charger I have and as long as the electronics hold up have access to the videos/music indefinitely)

    If all of food/water/gas/electricity/fuel distribution is badly interrupted, there's the bigger picture.

      You can grow or shoot food. I'm Appalachian, I know more than just how to code :)

    We’re talking no power grid for months or years. Most portable electronics would be technically fine, but unable to operate for any significant period of time because of the lack of power. Your best bet might be to stash a solar panel some place shielded, and then use that to charge the batteries after the CME has passed.

      As i understand it people mistake two different phenomena for the same. The geomagnetic storm induced by coronal mass ejection of our Sun is dangerous for the power grid because it could fry its transformers, because basically the long distance transmission lines work like an antenna, amplifying that. But it is a slow and weak thing, so anything disconnected at the time should be ok. The fear about disconnected electronics becoming fried comes from the Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse(NEMP). Which is a fast thing, inducing large spikes in a short amount of time, thereby frying transistors on-chip, if unshielded, even when disconnected.
