Accessories Emergency Battery - what one to buy?

[RussWWFC]

I am looking for an emergency battery/charger

Basically it's a power pack that you charge up, can take out with you and then use it to power your phone

Was looking at this 8-in-1 Emergency Charger for MP3/MP4/PSP/NDSI/MOB [#00258500] - US$12.52 : Amazplus.com

Obviously 35000 amh is bullshit, but if I get an extra charge out of it I will be happy, sick of running out of battery after heavy use on the move!

I bought this and it works great. I get one and a half charges out of it. Energizer

Can recomend this. New Trent Dual-port Pack IMP50D 5000mAh with 1Amp: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

I use the JustMobile Gum Pro.
Charges my phone two times and so fast as the HTC wall charger, with a standard USB cable. No connector-inverter neccessary like with many other mobile chargers
4400mAh and 130 grams.

OK, will do, it certainly sounds promising from the review

Turned out to be a bag of balls, sent back as faulty, charged up but didn't charge the phone, got a refund

Thanks for the review

So if you still look for a portable charger so have a look at my post above.
I use this charger for two years with several phones.
In meantime I tried a few portable charger but the JustMobile remains the best of all when I weight the overall features.

Asked for the IMP one (5000MAH) for Christmas. Fingers crossed

When I look at the battery capacity I think it's a good choice

For the JustMobile Gum Pro I praised as a feature the ability to use a standard USB cable for charging the phone as fast as the wall charger with came with the phone does.

Meaning: Most mobile chargers have an USB plug but use a special cable with microUSB adapter for charging phones.
So they can charge a phone as fast as the wall charger which came with phone does.
But when you want to use a standard USB to microUSB cable those mobile charger would only "dribbel" charge the phone, also they'll need the double time as the wall charger needs.

This standard-cable-feature of the JustMobile is important for me.
Especially when I have forgotten the special cable of the other charger at home
Or when I would lose this tiny adapter microUSB of the special cable.

So I hope your Christmas present will have this "JustMobile-feature"

... and I would like to know it
