Yeah don't buy a cheaparsed one off ebay...

Get a car one with a cigarette lighter fitting, cut that off & wire on some crocodile clips, run it off a battery...

I have this one. AstroAI.com brand.

It has plenty of power (tops up our van tyres no problem, with plenty of charge left) and also has a torch and acts as a power bank, so will charge phones at a festival or similar.

I got it as a present a couple of years ago and now take it with me on longer runs or weekends away.
No idea how much they cost, but I've been quite impressed with it.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
