Default Emergency battery charger

Just went in to carphone warehouse who have started to stock the energizer xp1000 for 20 quid. Looks good, they will do this and the barely there cover for 27 quid.

Any thoughts on the charger.

Guys I went through about 4 different battery type chargers which ran of AA's and all sorts. All were useless and generated more heat than delivered juice to my Desire.

On the plus note I eventually found http://www.amazon.co.uk/Proporta-304...6088348&sr=8-1

This is good enough to give me two full charges before having to charge the charger. Its a real neat piece of kit and works very well.

Somebody just posted this on another post.

It looks almost identical to the Proporta and the specs are the same too. The different is that they are selling this for £20

I have a Just mobile Gum pro - it's 4400 mAh capacity and can charge pretty much anything that you can charge over usb. You recharge the pack over mini usb (mains or PC)

http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=166301

I use it with my iPod touch, MiFi and my desire and it works great, outputs at 1000mA so the desire sees it as mains charging.

I haven't needed it much with the desire yet as I have mains chargers at home and and in the office but with my G1 I got 3 full charges of the phone before having to recharge the Gum pro. It's pretty compact too so not a problem to keep in my gadget bag.

Hope this helps

I got this one for a while now
http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05...662&t_mode=des
and works great. Charges several devices and it has 3400mAh capacity, which is ~2.5 times full recharging Desire.
