arabicaknight Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Does anyone know what the crack is with the charge-o-matic free phone charging thingy that Tim Burgess tweeted about earlier today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Whiffen Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Don't know about that, but I bought one of these apparently can charge your phone 7 Times off it and it has 4 usb ports so can charge 4 at a time. One of my mate's got for Glasto and said it did the trick and by his last day he still had power left on it, so was lending it out to strangers. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B008YRG5JQ?pc_redir=1405906092&robot_redir=1 Edited July 27, 2014 by Marc Whiffen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The iphone is 1v and has to go into slot 2. If you plug it into slot 3 or 4 it'll short out the charger and the only way to bring it back is plugging it into the wall again. I know this from experience at Glastonbury!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramragon Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I've got a similar one and it's a godsend, long gone are the fateful days of slipping an aa battery into some contraption to charge your battery to 10% or looking hopefully at the sky hoping the solar charger may be some use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arabicaknight Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Thanks guys, just looked at the Emperor's pre flight info and we get free charging. Also Tim peaks WILL be offering a free charging service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaminglippy Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 My mate was charging his in his car a couple of years ago and drained the battery Had to get the AA out to sort him out. The dozy bleeder. Theres normally one of them pay ones as well although think it cost a tenner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
