This might sound daft but can I have a few more details ( I'm

not greatly technical). But would love to give this. A try. I actually meant to quote someones earlier post on making your own charger with the 12 v battery.

Loving this its brilliant, I use my phone a lot at work now (outside, so have to call and check in with office and stuff, sometimes I look up locations for customers to soometimes :P). and so this restores me to full charge half way thru the door! Which is good when going out for a drink after work! Been working great for a week, I just use my normal usb cable and plug that into the unit,

Agree on most smart phones being pointless with battery life now,(My palm pre only real problem is battery life)

I bought one of the Ted Baker chargers about a week ago after seeing it on here, and after playing with it this weekend I'm well impressed. CHarges both Nokia 5800 and iPhone 3G from car charger and from battery pack thing - charges aprticularly quickly from battery pack. Thanks original poster - this little beauty is going to be worth its weight in gold in, ooh, TEN DAYS!

I've heard about the Orange charging prototypes... they've announced something the past few years... the dancing charger, foot pump and now wellies. It all sounds fantastic, but apart from glossy press releases there seems to be no sign or effort made by orange to actually produce/sell/give away any? A bit of a rub in the face if you ask me sad.gif

I have an iPhone 3GS i'm planning on taking and have bought a fairly pricy Cinch CP885 to charge it with. Apparently it should be capable of charging the phone 5 times as it has an 8800mAh capacity but will see.

Failing that I have also bought a Gomadic AA battery charger from Amazon which according to the description specifically works with the 3GS.

and... if I still run out of juice I guess queuing at Orange Chill and Charge is still an option, or more likely ill drop the phone off at a property lock up and enjoy the festival laugh.gif

Used my Ted Baker at Rockness at the weekend, managed 1 full charge to my LG Renoir, 1 full charge to my daughters SE K800 and 1 full charge to my Phillips Go Gear MP3 player... plus it still had some juice in it.. so thumbs up from me :)

I must have a half dud then. I still only get 1 and a tiny bit charge for my HTC. Leprekorn tells me though that if you have one that rattles then its not as good quality as others. Mine rattles. His doesnt. Should I try and return/ask for a refund or just not worry now?

    • Tbf that happened to me in 2022 so not a one off. 40 euros to drive down 3 streets. I'd have done a runner but the reason for getting the taxi in the first place is cos I couldn't walk no more. 
    • I was fully prepared (waterproof jacket, extra pair of socks, foldable umbrella), but after four hours in the rain (from Geese through Oklou to Florence Road), it was just too much. Already at the hotel, let's hope tomorrow's better.
    • It’s rare that I watch question time, but I almost felt sorry for Kenyon, he seemed like a guy just brought off the street which effectively is what he was, made worse by the fact Burnham and the Tory guy were very strong debaters. I think Burnham was very aware not to go too hard on Kenyon and risk him getting sympathy, in fact he pretty much ignored him.
