Re: Traveling with iPhone 6
truthfully it does work and charges the battery once the phone is plugged in but Its probably not a good idea to leave the lightning adapter plugged in to the 30 pin connector. \ OF course that is what you really want to do to keep from loosing it its so small so the better solution is to buy a battery that supports the lightnihng connector from the get go.

Re: Traveling with iPhone 6
Thanks everyone. Do the batteries with more power recharge the phone faster, or is it just a matter of keeping the external battery attached to the phone? And how solid do the ones you're recommending here feel when attached? You know how sometimes they stick out or feel like they might break off? Maybe that's why there are cases :-) I guess I'm looking for a hands-on sense of what they're like on the road. Thanks! -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

RE: Traveling with iPhone 6
I would probably not buy a small external battery with a fixed lightning connector. If you use a battery where you have to use your regular lightning cable or even if you buy one of the short 6 inch ones then there is a lot less chance of something getting damaged. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Pommette Sent: Saturday, December 13, 2014 7:58 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Traveling with iPhone 6 Thanks everyone.

RE: Traveling with iPhone 6
There are tons of external batteries out there and in the end it is your decision as to how much of a charge you want and that of course will be a trade-off against the size ofg your battery. I highly recommend the external batteries from Anker and Limefuel. Especially Anker gets super good ratings and they make anything from a small emergency charge stick which is barely larger than a lipstick to much larger and heavier batteries of up to I think 24,000 MAH which would allow you to charge your phone probably about 8 times completely. The iPhone 6 battery has a capacity of 1,810 MAH. If you want to be able to charge the battery back up to 100% when it drops to the second 10% warning, you would probably need at least a 2,500 MAH external battery, you always need more battery capacity than what your iPhone battery has even though in an ideal world an 1,800 MAH battery should fully charge an 1,810 MAH battery which is at 10%. If you want to get 2 full charges you probably want at least a 6,000 MAH battery, 8,000 MAH is probably a safer option.

Re: Traveling with iPhone 6
Yes absolutely. My Anker battery has an LCD on which battery percentage is displayed. So I often take a picture of the display with TapTapSee and get the percentage remaining back every time. Not as cool as just pressing a button to hear the percentage, but sadly the low capacity of that battery wouldn't have met my particular needs.

Re: Traveling with iPhone 6
Hi Sieghard, I just got that model from A T Guys because I don’t have a need for more than the 6000 ma and I do like the fact that the battery talks. As for the 20 pin connector it is not very useful with my 5S and the adaptor is too expensive. I am considering a 6 inch USB to lightning cable for $9.95 from the people who make the SoapBox. I use the micro USB connector all the time to charge my JamBox mini, my Bluiz 2 bone conduction headset and also my Bluetooth transmitter that I use on other devices that have an earphone jack but are not Bluetooth. I also like the idea that I can unfold the prongs and plug it in a wall socket and recharge it in only 4 hours. Of course, I also sometimes use the USB connector to recharge from my computer if necessary.

I am not sure, however, if the current model still talks because I think I heard that the updated model did not to so any more. I have the old version which has attached short cables for Micro USB and it also has a 30-Pin Apple connector. This was a nice feature when I still had my 4S because I didn’t even need an additional cable. I guess I could get a 30 Pin to Lightning adapter, but I have not done so because given it’s price I just don’t think it’s worth it and eventually all batteries wear out so most likely my next one either just has ports to plug in a cable or I’ll buy one with a Lightning cable.
