Default External Battery Pack options

Just saw this on HTCpedia:

Seems like HTC is trying to make more money off of making the battery non-removable.

Let's make some more money off of this thing?
Um.... not a reason to make it internal. LOL That's kind of silly isn't it.

So, lets share what we are/have/will use to keep our phones charged up while on the go!

When I found out that officially, we were getting the non-removable battery, I started hanging out with the One X folks and seeing what they are using and have used. I decided that I didn't need a HUGE battery pack because I do have access to charge at home, in the car, at the office. What I did need was something to fill the gap if I happen to really need power and are not in one of those 3 places.

I decided to get the Anker 5600mAh charger and see how it would work out, supporting my daily use of my Evo 3D. I can say, this thing is AWESOME! Something that was important was charging rate and this charges at 1000mAh output just like the wall charger (*Input is 1.2. A LOT of the chargers on the market are only rated at 800mAh and I didn't want that. There are also a lot that are HUGE but when thinking about how it will be used, I wanted it to be highly portable and reliable.

**Battery pack capacity DOES NOT equal output due to charging loss due to heat and other factors. So the 5600mA pack gives me just about 3 full charges of my 1730mA Evo 3D battery.

I highly, highly recommend this for the value, portability and reliability.

What are you all using??

Think I'm going to buy the same thing. They also make bigger ones, so my only debate is what size to pick. The 5600 seems good because it's small enough and 2 full charges is plenty for an emergency I would think... Either that or the 8400mAh one.

5600mAh:


8400mAh:

5600 is perfect because it is small and has plenty of juice to save you wherever you are. 2 full charges easy and I'm telling you, it charges as fast (seems like faster) than the wall chargers.
