jgm8 Posted November 13, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bopeep Posted November 13, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyjar Posted November 13, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeddiva Posted November 13, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cln06 Posted November 14, 2013 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppermint Posted November 14, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wittenlover Posted November 14, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurfgirl Posted November 15, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakesmommy403 Posted November 15, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicMama Posted November 21, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara3117 Posted November 21, 2013 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allshoppedout Posted November 22, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapwave Posted November 26, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
