Re: external battery charger

2015-09-07 Thread Kawal Gucukoglu
I had that talking charger if it's the old one and it stopped working after two 
or three charges.  I didn't bother buying another as I bought one of the last 
from Amazon.com.  But now that I have the I phone 6 plus and selling the said 
phone, I will probably not have to worry to charge the next phone as there is 
to be more battery life I think in the 6S or whatever it's going to be called.  
Not long before the 9th.

Kawal.

Hi,

I'm entering this thread late, but maybe you'd want to consider a Charge Bank 
which is available at www.ATGuys.com.

It can charge several devices at once and can fully charge an iPhone 5S at

Re: Looking for a good iPhone external battery harger

2015-09-05 Thread Phil Halton
I bought it from the Apple store directly. I would like one of those anchor 
batteries, but I swear there's so many different models I get totally confused. 
I don't know I haven't really looked into them yet but there's just too many 
different models and I don't really know where to get them or which model to 
select.

Great, think you will like it. Hopefully you got it from the mophie site 
directly, according to some of the reviews on Amazon, the seller there was 
selling fake ones, so getting it from the mophie site directly is the way to 
go. It will make the phone thicker and a bit bigger, that’s definitely true,

Re: Looking for a good iPhone external battery harger

2015-09-04 Thread Mike Arrigo
I can't speak for the iphone 6 case, since I have an iphone 5s, but the 
Mophie juice pack case for it is great, no problems at all. If you want 
a battery case, I would definitely go with that. On the other hand, if 
you want an external battery pack, I would consider the Anker models. 
Mophie makes some as well, but the Anker batteries provide more power 
at a better price.

Original message:
I'm looking for a battery charger for my iPhone six to be used on an 
upcoming trip. I just recently bought a Techlink charger which looked 
promising, but I found out that it's a trickle charger. In other words 
it takes forever just to raise the battery percentage a few percentage 
points. That won't do the trick.
I need a high output, fast charging battery pack and the moffie juice 
packs and moffie external battery look like the ticket. However, I read 
a lot of reviews that say there's engineering problems with these packs 
and cases.


Can anyone on the list to use the moffie packs or external batteries 
give me their experience? Are these good products? What are the 
charging rates and how reliable are the devices? Have they failed you?
My only interest is in the battery charging feature, but if the cases 
are more reliable than the external moffie's then I'll buy one of those 
just for the battery. I will want to use the Apple earbuds with the 
case and if you can't plug your plugs into the case because of design I 
want to know that too.
Finally, if the moffie's don't do the trick, are there other fast 
charging battery solutions out there?

Thanks for any help.

Ah, so, any of these Anker batteries would do wonders for recording nice long 
home videos then?  As it now stands, the longest home video I have ever 
recorded just off my iPhone6+ battery stands at three hours and a half.


Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray,

Still a very happy Mac, Verizon Wireless iPhone6+ and Apple TV user!

I have one of the batteries from Ravpower. It has a little short lightning 
cable built-in. It is either 9000 or 1 mah, so you probably get a few 
good charges from dead with it. It does charge the phone fast though.

Hi,
I like the products from Anker. I'm not sure whether they have cases,
I know, though, that they have batteries which can put out up to 3
amps, which would charge your phone as fast or faster than the wall.
My understanding is that they are available on Amazon worldwide, so
your favourite amazon should have them. The site for the manufacturer

Re: Looking for a good iPhone external battery harger

2015-09-04 Thread Jonathan Mosen
Hi Phil, the Anker external batteries are reliable and beautifully built. The 
one I have is 20,000 MHA, which depending on your needs may be overkill. When 
I'm travelling from here to the US or Europe, it's wonderful and can charge an 
iPhone, an iPad, and other small devices several times over. They make smaller 
capacity batteries as well.
Mine has an LCD that displays the percentage, and I find TapTapSee will read it 
for me every time.
My wife has a Lime Fuel battery which she likes, and they get good external 
reviews too.
I've had no experience with the products you're looking at.

External battery

2013-08-09 Thread Jesus Garcia
Morning to all, having seen the discussion regarding the limeade line of 
external batteries, I almost purchased the 18. I am now trying to make a 
choice I discovered the peak 6000 which includes the ability to speak 
certain status information. My question is anyone out there own both 
external batteries? If yes which one would you recommend?
