Portable Charger

[StoneCircle]

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.

[LondonTom]

I got one to, came yesterday rather good, I have spare plug for my Palm Pre, so that plugs usb into the mains so using that and seems to work!, Used it to charge my pre today at work to when its losing battery via mini usb so thats awesome!. Seems to work, rather impressed with this find!

[Phil-itfc]

mine arrived today, much like everyone else suprised by no wall adaptor. Which was one of the selling points as I thought it'd have plugs for all over the world. giving it a first blast of power now.

Sorry if it's already been mentioned but I much preferred festivals before mobile phones...

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!!

[Grateful Ghoul]

Got mine today, took 5 hours to charge via USB and got the green light.

I have just connected to my IPhone to charge up, will it switch off when finished charging or keep on giving it the juice I wonder.

That's what Glasto testing is all about folks lol

Test 1 completed, Full Iphone charge out of my Ted Baker thing last night.

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.

ALDI are selling a solar powered charger this week for £19.99 - I am led to believe it is very good

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.

[winnets99]

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?

[fairyinboots]

I have charged a 3GS with it no problem. I used the adapter that came with it.

Still taking my old phone and batteries to Glasto though!

[Grateful Ghoul]

I got 2 1/2 charges for my iPhone spread out over 5 days.

[Phil-itfc]

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.

[hatethisandillloveyou]

Same here, final glasto tests and I got 2 and a half charges out of it for my Iphone, bargain for 7 quid

ONE OF MY MATES IS SELLING THESE AS CANT ATTEND GLASTO THIS YEAR NOW - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...=STRK:MESELX:IT

[Mr.Tickle]

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
