Portable Charger

I wasn't too fussed about the lack of AC adapter because the packaging certainly didn't suggest there was supposed to be one.

Ah well, as long as it charges up somehow I don't care!!

How are you charging yours? Via your computer? Mine started about half an hour ago too.

Still showing the red light. But after what Strudders told me time wise, I'm not fussed.

And mcdrewson - I'm with you there. But needs must nowadays.....

Mine came through the post today, and must say very impressed so far. Not that I need it for my nokia, but has anyone worked out how to connect the micro USB (only right angled connector) to the device. Seems the only one that won't fit because it is a female connector, I have tried every combination possible and it is annoying me!

Well done for whoever found this :)

Actually I am a little disappointed with mine (Ted Baker) at the moment. I have charged my HTC up twice now using it and both times I have only managed one measly charge out of it. I am going to try once again over the weekend but this time with the phone SWITCHED off!

The first time I used it to charge it only took 2 hours with the phone on, second time it took well over 5!

Anyone else finding the suggested number of charges of at least two times isnt happening?

My barely used but 3 year old Freeloader even with well over 8 hours of very full sunshine charge without being plugged in (how you are supposed to charge the FL up) only managed to give my HTC about a quarter charge! Meh!

I REALLY hope there is a spare plug socket in the Strumpets trailer for phone charging now :(

Charged. Lovely green light.

That's about 6 hours - via USB to laptop.

Now I suppose the best thing to do is leave it until my phone needs to be charged then plug it in..... Does it stay turned off but full of power until you connect something to it?

Perfect Glasto practise!!

Charger is in the bag, waiting to be used when my 5800 is out of power.

It drinks power like a bastard so I reckon it'll need charging tonight or tomorrow at the latest.

If I can make it through to Monday night (the same length without a charge as it'll have at Glasto) without having to charge my phone via the AC adapter, I'll consider it a worthwhile purchase.

Rechargeable batteries do degrade over time. Li Ion is terrible, can loose 20% or more each year. It's worst at high-temperatures and low-charge state. I keep my batteries in the fridge when not in use, and try to store them at a good charge state.

Just got mine and fully charged it to green light.

Tried to charge my iphone 3GS to test but nothing?? Tried with my white ipod cable and nothing. Tried with the adpater that comes with the charger and I get the little sound when you connect it to the phone but nothing else.

Anyone else having these problems. Are the guys who are managing to charge their iphones using 3G or 3GS?

gave mine a go last night, it would charge my mp3 which was disapointing as it normally charges through a 3 pin plug to usb. my tested my HTC but that only needed a little power and it worked. going to drain my phone battery completely this weekend and see how many charges I can get.

Right, spoon feed me here.....

Can everyone just summarize and clarify 2 things for me :

A : Does the Ted Baker one work with the iPhone 3GS

2 : How many charges in total will I get for the iPhone over the weekend?

Cheers Muchly :)

    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
