Portable Charger

[StoneCircle]

I have mine plugged into the mains, and the light has now turned green. I am guessing this is fully charged?

Paul ...My charger from my Garmin (Running one not sat nav)

Mozzy I just used the charger it came with for my iPhone.

[StoneCircle]

What did you use to put it into the mains?

[Paul ™]

Right sorted it, put it on the mains now with a USB plug thing.. its still red so will let it charge up overnight.

Have noticed the red light flicker a couple times though, and when I press the button on it while charging it goes green.., then stays green even when pressed again.. until its unplugged..

[glasgowpete]

big thumbs up for this thread..

ive just ordered one of these, even if i get two full charges its worth it.

Used to not give a monkeys about a phone, dont like not having it on now i have a kid. this is one of my gadgets for glasto!

sounds the same as my dud!

[StoneCircle]

Yeah its a dud it seems, red light on even after overnight

[fairyinboots]

Paul, Try charging something, and then plugging it in to recharge again. I did that to see if it worked, then charged the device again, and it took 5 hours, but eventually the light went green. I think it holds some charge. I am charging my phone at the moment, so it seems to be OK.

Dunno about you, but I've got 3 or 4 crappy old mobiles in drawers at home from years gone by. I tend to charge 3 of them up for Glastonbury, make sure all my contacts are on my SIM and then just switch the SIM from one phone to the next when the battery runs out.

It means I never have to worry about charging and it's not a big deal if I lose/break the phone.

Simples.

I've got a gum plus pro charger, can charge my iPhone nearly 4 times. It probably won't last the whole of glasto mind, my iPhone Is a battery draining bastard

[LusciousLucy]

Worried for a while as 5 hours passed and light was still red but not long after greenness occurred. Now just need to empty battery on DaisyB and hand her over to Ted Baker for a good seeing to!

[Guest blackcockerel]

Mine is definitely buggered, they're sending me another one

[LusciousLucy]

Mine's not buggered Daisy B the Crystal Gooseberry just took about 2 hours to fully charge. Had to splice a connector from my Freeloader solar charger to be able to use the HTC adaptor but am quite happy with the results. Going to trial the number of charges now.

I got a portable solar charger as a free gift so im hoping its sunny enough to try this out!

[LondonTom]

Just ordered one Good find, seems like they work? Got one mainly for work and going take my old phone and spare batteries for glasto

This arrived today and confused me no end to start with - no AC adapter!!

Still, I'm only a bit of a simple moron so worked out how it plugs into the laptop to charge. How long does it take to fully carge?

Ta.

I thought chill n charger was quite nice, good music, People were chatty...

I was there on the sunday afternoon last year then I suddenly realised tom jones was playing and that i wanted to dance to sex bomb, but it was to late

Aldi are doing a camping sale next Thursday. Good for me - a chance to replace my leaky airbed.

But I also noticed they're flogging solar powered phone chargers. Not sure how they work, [i.e. whether you have to leave your phone out in the sun with the charger or whether the charger has it's own on-board batteries so you can connect it to your phone later.]

The Aldi camping gear is definitely worth a look. I've been using their little flying-saucer LED tent-light for a couple of years and it's brilliant.
