External battery for OTG

[Unrealwolf]

Is there any external battery hub thingie that would have USB ports onboard and won't require the additional Y cable? I mean, just one cable to Touchpad and that's it. I remember reading about some sort of square solar charger a year ago, but i can't find neither a model nor the confirmation that that's a thing that i need.

i use a solar powered 4 port usb hub.. works great.

instead of square shaped, it is rectangular and all the hubs are in-line.

i paid 10$ shipped... when not it use, the battery lasts a long time.

i ordered it from meritline.

i still see on amazon.

looks like the same thing.. including the cable.. TIP:: if you get one,, be SURE to use the included cable..

idk why / what is different bout it and any other usb cable, but an ordinary cable will cause many probs

edit: turns out that the standard cable isnt so important as sequence of connection and mounting.. plug in peripherals to hub, switch on, connect cables, make sure mounting app is enabled, connect OtG to hptp.

does it has a led indicator to tell you how much battery is remaining? my main prob with the square powered usb hub is that there's no battery inidicator.. so i don't know when to charge it
