Portable Charger

[Thrash D Garbage]

Never lost use of my mobile at a festival because of drained batteries yet. I've got a couple of spare batteries for my phone, which I make sure are fully charged before leaving home. Off course iPhone owners need not apply...

[strudders]

well I ordered three today, one for my daughters I Phone, one for my Nokia e71, and one for my Sony Walkman...

I do have batteries for my phone but this is so more convenient, I can pop them in the bag and take it around with me charging just about anything... or anybodies...

After seeing the mongrels at BT I was won over by the bag...

I get around the problem by buying a couple of spare fully charged batteries before the festival.

Mine has arrived and is on charge, as I am just a girl these techie things baffle me and I couldn't work out the lights. I have found the Proporta instructions on the net may be handy for others.

Will report back later when the pack is charged!

Just got one of these for our campervan. It has a cigarette lighter socket on it (as well as a 3 pin normal socket and a torch). It is 40Ah so should charge the phones for our lot for a good few days!! Mind you it weighs 18Kgs so one of the others can cart the thing in

I'm a little confused... Do these contraptions charge any phone? I'm taking a shitty Alcatel OT-S319 with two batteries - don't want to risk taking my iPhone. Can see myself only needing to charge once over the weekend but my pals could use it too...

Been thinking about this myself. Will check out those links. Cheers.

This is a question for people with a more technical brain than myself.....

I am hoping to take my samsung L83T digital camara, but the battery life is shocking, i was wondering if anybody knows of any cheap chargers, or wind up or solar available?

I have had a look on t'internet and cant find anything, just wondering if any of the wise efestie folk have any suggestions.....

Thanks

Missed mine being delivered today.. shall pick it up tomorrow

[StoneCircle]

I have charged a totally flat and not used for over a year Nokia 6136, my HTC Smartphone and my husbands HTC Smartphone both from being down to 1 bar, and my ipod and there is still power to charge, the only thing I can think of is the TomTom in the car and I can't be bothered opening the garage up to go and get it.

I am very impressed with this little gadget, its about the size of an iphone and very light and I know we will use this year round as I am terrible at remembering to charge my phone so often have to go out without it!

Thank you again to LusciousLucy for the original find!

[mandypants]

I've got a couple of spare batteries from ebay which I'll have to make sure I've charged before I set off, it'll be fine

[Paul ™]

Picked mine up today

Remember you can pretty much charge any device as long as you have a USB cable for it

[manchesta-gal]

i got one from the pound shop it runs off batteries, but works alright.

Its from Poundland >>>http://www.poundland.co.uk/

Thanks to the OP for this, I have just ordered mine - bargain!

[Filthy]

Just bought one, cheers for the heads up and reviews!!

[Neville Street]

Just bought one, £9 for 3400MAh of reusable rechargeables and all the connectors is a bargain IMHO

[Dave]

I'm a bit confused too - says it works with the Nokia N95 .... Will it work with a Nokia N85?

[StoneCircle]

I ahve got a ancient Nokia 6822 and a slightly newer 6136 which has a slimmer pin connecter than the 6822. There is only the slimmer pin style of connecter in the pack. I am guessing all Nokias now have the slimmer connecter or mini USB?? Nokia experts please advise!

If it has the mini USB style connecter there is one of these in the pack, this fits my HTC Smartphone and TomTom. Is Nokia mini USB the same?

Will this fit Samsungs?

I want I want!!

[Collide]

Its a Samsung E2120 by the way!

[alibear]

Can you buy these in shops or are they only available online? I'm impatient!
