Accessories Which portable charger?

[jaybo1973]

Hi guys

We all know that the battery life on the desire is a cause for concern. I use mine for alot of navigation when out in the sticks with OS maps and for directions with google maps.

Over the last week, I have got cut short twice while using it for navigation.

I can understand why it is happening so I need a backup. Can anyone recommend a decent portable charger? I have heard that the pebble is about the best? Didnt really want to spend

Not cheap but the best:
JustMobile Gum Pro
4400mAh and 120gram
Fast charging with 1000mA
Charging the Desire with 1000mA
2.5x charging 15% to 100%

You can use your phone while charging.

Nice one. This is better than the pebble? It doesn't hold as much juice but charges devices quicker?

I don't own a pebble, so I don't know
But I own a JustMobile, so I know about it.

I found a nice review

thanks for the link the review mentions no wall charger. Can you the the desire charger to charge it?

 

[Harry2]

Yes, you can use the Desire charger and the Desire USB cable with JustMobile.
No need for a special microUSB adaptor

Bought the TeckNet battery pack TeckNet iEP380 5000mAh Universal USB Battery Pack For: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics from Amazon and it is going back this morning. Only charged my desire about 1.5 times so seriously under the stated 5000mAh capacity. Will buy a pebble instead

I have a Proporta 3400mAH USB charger. Quite small provides about 3 charges (very quickly) and comes with adaptors so my missus can charge her iThingy.

MY pebble has just turned up. Don't like how you don't get a wall adapter. The desire one does nicely though

Charging on AC? It thinks it is charging straight from the mains on this bad boy?
