jgm8 Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Has anyone come across a portable cell charger? I am hoping I just missed it. Has anyone ever used one? It seems to be on many gift lists this year. 1
Bopeep Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 I carry one with me all the time. I've used a few different brands, but NewTrent is my favorite. I can use it to charge my phone, my tablet, my camera, etc. There are a lot out there that are cheaper than NewTrent. I've never used the really cheap ones so I can't speak to how powerful they are. I have not noticed one in any of the ads yet, but I wasn't really looking for one so I could've overlooked. 1
flyjar Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 I use an Anker Astro 3E. http://www.amazon.com/10000mAh-Smartphones-USB-charged-Adapters--Lightning/dp/B009USAJCC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1384380583&sr=8-3&keywords=ankerI get about 4-6 full charges out of it. And it charges very fast. Very happy with it.
speeddiva Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 I have this one. It's fantastic. You can charge 2 devices at once. http://www.hsn.com/products/instacharge-10000mah-portable-electronics-charger/7239597?variant=7239599
cln06 Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 I was thinking about getting DH one for Christmas. The more I look at them I think I would like one too!
Peppermint Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 I also have a teen family member asking for one. I really didn't want to spend more than $20. Doesn't have to be top of the line, just work. The one on her list was $9.99 but the reviews were terrible so I didn't get it.
wittenlover Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 I picked up a PowerGen Mobile Juice Pack 12000 (mAh) for myself from Amazon early this year. Bout the size of a deck of cards, can charge 3 devices at once, will recharge my iPhone 5 at least 3 or 4 times from just about dead. Also comes with a BRIGHT 1-LED flashlight built in. They have different sizes, power-wise, and price varies with the mAh rating. For me, it's been the best $50 I've spent in a long time. Some of their smaller mAh rated ones might fit in your budget, Peppermint. I haven't looked recently, though.
smurfgirl Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 I just got the Jackery Bar 5600mah from amazon. It was 29.95. Just got it today, so I can't say how well it works. But it had really good reviews.
jakesmommy403 Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) I have this one and I love it! I use it for both my iPhone and my Kindle Fire HD. It's $19.95 and a little bit bigger than a tube of lip stick. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BFY59BA/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Edited November 15, 2013 by jakesmommy403
MusicMama Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 I just got the Jackery Bar 5600mah from amazon. It was 29.95. Just got it today, so I can't say how well it works. But it had really good reviews.I have the same one - works well and, although you can only charge one device at a time, you can charge multiple devices one after another. Just used it to run my rechargeable camera as well.
Tara3117 Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 I have this one from Monoprice: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10831&cs_id=1083110&p_id=10392&seq=1&format=2 I love it!
allshoppedout Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 I just got the Jackery Bar 5600mah from amazon. It was 29.95. Just got it today, so I can't say how well it works. But it had really good reviews. I got this SAME one 2 weeks ago, It has a flash light, only 1 charger, but has GREAT reviews. Ive used it about 10 times, charges pretty fast, but I can give you a time. It's orange so I can find it in my purse! . I know there are ones out there that are 10,000 and 12 mah but I was trying to stay below a price point. I'm happy so far

gbeenie Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 The Tenergy 2600mAh charger is gonna be $10 on BF at Tiger Direct (in-store only, but maybe that'll change).
scrapwave Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Have this Sendy one that I got from Amazon (it's $24.99 now but was some kind of special deal when I bought it) but it's great. Comes with several different interchangable tips so you can use it for phones, ipods, etc. Comes in a little black carry pouch to keep it all together. Use it all the time. Also has an led flashlight on it. http://www.amazon.com/Sendy-Capacity-Portable-External-Flashlight/dp/B00CLDD4PC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385490436&sr=8-1&keywords=sendy
