Hi, How about if you plug the adaptor in the phone first?

Don't use a 30 pin to lightning adapter on that battery. It will think your charging a device as soons as you plug the adapter in. I tried that and it told me it was charging as soon as I plugged the adapter in. To bad but it makes sense.

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. Being able to push the button on the battery and hear “Battery is full” or “Battery is less than 50%” and so on is a nice feature, but not crutial. I assume one could probably use an app like Tap Tap See to get feedback as to how many LED’s are lit up and get information about the battery status that way or just asking somebody is of course always a good alternative.

The more capacity, the larger the device has to be. I have an Anker 20,000 MhA battery which charges the iPhone several times, because I am sometimes travelling for 24-36 hours at a time. It has four USB ports and can even fully charge my iPad. If your requirements a less dramatic, there are some much smaller versions with less capacity. The Anker packs get very good reviews, and so do the LimeAide devices. My fiancee has a 12,000 MhA one from LimeAid. It works well and is a lot smaller than mine. There is also a model from another manufacturer that talks, but its capacity I think is only 6,00 MhA, which should be fine if you only need to charge the phone once.

Since I justI got a Surface Pad from a company called 12 South to cover the phone, I'm less interested in cases that do this, but I could be convinced. I want something small, reliable to add betters life so I'm not frantically searching to charge my phone in an airport. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
