Hi Siegard, Thanks heaps for your recommendations, I'll look these up. Do you know if any of these like the incredicharge for example can be bought in an actual store rather than online, I'm going overseas in a few weeks and prefer to grab something from a store rather than wait for something to be sent.

The MyCharge line of batteries is very good although the new models I think lack one of the nice features of the older ones which announced the battery level at the push of a button. Anyhow, you only mention the Incredicharge brand as a whole and no specific models. I had a quick look on Amazon and they do have quite a few models and some of them like the I-10 definitely mentions the iPhone 5 although it shouldn't really matter all that much. Most of these batteries have a USB plug just like on a computer or a USB wall charger so you just plug in your iPhone 5 Lightning cable and all should be fine. One thing reviewers mention is that you seem to get a fairly good product for a relatively low price. Another well-known brand is Mophie and between MyCharge, Incredicharge and Mophie I am sure you can find something that works for you, I would just look this up on Amazon and go by rating and reviews. Here is a link for the IncreditchargeI-10 model on Amazon which has 10,400 MA, that is a high capacity and you should be able to charge your phone at least 4 maybe 5 times on that. Keep in mind that the larger the capacity the larger the battery, this one apparently is about the size of 2 iPhone 4S on top of each other. The I-10 has a rating of 4.7 out of 5 and that is certainly very good: http://www.amazon.com/Incredicharge-External-Battery-Capacity-Motorola/dp/B0 0AT5W8SI/ref=pd_sim_cps_1 Regards, Sieghard ----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Andrew Head Sent: Friday, July 19, 2013 5:04 AM To: blind iphone list Subject: external iphone 5 batteries Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has some recommendations on a good external battery for the iphone 5? A friend mentioned the incredicharge but when I looked it up I found it didn't support the iphone 5. Thanks in advance for any help, Hope everyone has a good day, Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
