I currently have the Anchor 10,000 mah I found on some bargain for $59 last year that doesn't talk, but the IPhone will tell me that charging started. I don't get the significance of having the speech except for the fact that I don't know how full the anchor one really is, and I will probably waste battery by leaving the phone plugged in too long unless most of these shut down when the phone is full. ----- Original Message ----- *From:* DJ <grou...@gmail.com> *To:* viphone@googlegroups.com *Sent:* Sunday, March 31, 2013 3:55 PM *Subject:* RE: MyCharge Peak 6000 battery, was: a charging battery for the IPhone 5. Sieghard, Thank you for providing the information below. That is very useful information and I Plan to look into this charger shortly. I didn't know about this particular unit.

Hi Srikanth, Thanks for that link and yes, it’s totally OK and very useful that you posted this. You indicated that you heard the new model had no more voice announcement and it’s up to whoever is interested to buy this to either buy the old model if available or not. In any case, I went to the MyCharge website and unless there is another new model of the Peak 6000 coming out soon, the current model which, on the website has “New!” beside it still does very specifically say it has battery level voice announcements. In their FAQ section somebody even says that their unit spoke French and how to change it. Below is a link to the Peak 6,000 on the MyCharge website directly along with their price and model number. I also included their description and the question and answer about the voice announcement. When I looked it up on Amazon.com I found it for $81 with some new units as low as $74 and the model number they show is the same. Manufacturer's Website: http://www.mychargepower.com/iphone-extended-batteries/peak-6000.html The myCharge® Peak 6000 is a rechargeable 6000mAh battery pack that will charge the average smartphone 4 times, and even charges iPad and other tablets! Model: RFAM-0166 Price: $99 - direct from manufacturer's website.

It speaks French, how do I change it to English Answer: To disable, enable and/or change the various sound modes: 1. Locate the Sound pinhole button underneath the Apple Dock Connector. 2. Plug Peak into your PC. 3. Use a paperclip to cycle Voice Tone. Silent Voice If you prefer no sound, toggle to the silent mode - unit will make no sound when this option is selected. If you prefer tone mode, toggle until you hear the tone. Finally, if you prefer language, toggle until you hear a voice. Peak offers language notifications in 4 languages – English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. To select a language locate the language pinhole under the apple connector and use a paperclip to toggle through the languages until you hear the language you prefer. MyCharge also makes the following other external batteries (prices are those on their website): MyCharge Summit - 3000MA for $79 MyCharge Trek - 2000MA for $59 MyCharge Voyage - 1000MA for $39 MyCharge Sojourn – 1000MA for $39 I am not sure what the difference is between the Voyage and Sojourn which are the same price and both have 1000MA, maybe the shape. Keep in mind that an iPhone 4 has a 1400MA battery, the iPhone 4S has a 1432MA battery and the iPhone 5 has a 1445MA battery so if you want to be able to get at least one full charge out of it the MyCharge Trek 2000 is probably the smallest you should buy. The Voyage or Sojourn probably do the trick if you are down to 25% or 20% and you just want something small to give it a boost, if you plug it in when you get the first low battery warning at 20% one of those should charge it up to at least 90% again and I guess there is something to be said for something small, maybe almost like a USB stick versus something that is as long as an iPhone 5, a bit wider and 3 times as thick which is about what the MyCharge Peak would be.
