HTC Shift External Charging Battery

---

We all know the Shift has limited battery life, therefore it's important we either carry a spare battery or an external battery charger.

I have found a few good products:

and
http://www.computerbatteries.co.uk/gb3/b/ubp0767b.html

The problem is the Shift uses 12V Voltage, these battery are for 15V and 19V, so we will need to find one which has a 12V output in it. Any ideas here?

Looks pretty big though, 20000mAh, 74WH

Yea, i seen this one as well, the reason why i don't like it is because it's so thick, if you compare it to the one i mention above, you can see the thickness difference. I hope we can find something better then this.

Wow, seems nice but too bulky. I ve bought a small external battery with 5000 ma (4-5 hours),

But that one has a 19V output, HTC Shift uses 12V output, will that work? have you try it?

Well, look at this.
Output is selectable.....

it will be nice if you could do some test on it for us, like how long will it extend the shift's battery life. thanks in advance

Of course. HTC Shift is 2700 ma and this one is 5200 ma, so I suppose arround 4 hours more.......(6 hours total (internal + external)is enought for me)

yes, i know that's what we expect it theory, but we can never trust that, therefore it's best if some one can actually test it, see how fast it will charge the HTC shift, and how long it will last, i too will do some more research and see whether there is any good product out there.

My unit arrived and works fine with shift. Voltage can be set to 12v and there is a jack like shifts one. I will charge it for several hours and tomorrow I will do a test. I will leave it turned on to check how many hours we get.
