[Q] External Batery

[Robert A]

Anyone use the external battery from proporta (turbo charger 5000)?

What it's your opinion, it's worth it?
How many REAL charges can be performed for DHD, and how long it last?

here it's the link

Don't know about that one, but this one is 40% cheaper:

I bought it a month ago, same storage capacity as the one you're looking at, comes with USB cable and 2 adaptors (mini & micro usb) which is just enough to charge the pack and your phone respectively. Or a phone with a mini usb port...

I haven't done any serious benchmarking, but I'd estimate about 3 "full" charges. The pack itself does take some time to charge up, since it's filling up 500mah and I do it via the PC usb port, so a direct wall charge would probably be faster.

I use it as a top up, so normally I plug it the phone in for an hour or so, take it to 80% charge. Haven't done any 0-100 trials

There are a couple more vendors on Amazon, check them out. I have noticed that the price of this model varies over time: I bought it at 22.95GBP, then saw it at 29.95, and now it's 25...

thank you for your reply, do you think the charger of DHD will charge it faster?

I am using the Gum Pro from justmobile and I'm really satisfied. 4400mAh capacity, 1000mA output... charging way faster than standard charger. Lasts for 3-4 charges...

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

Fantastic, I want that for my DHD

I would think so. I'm not sure about the output the battery pack receives from my USB port (I have 2 ports on the laptop, and one is connected to a hub with 10 outputs of which 5 are normally in use, which is where the pack is recharged from) - but the wall chargers are normally faster in my experience.

Anyway, a slower charge is always recommended, as it's said that the battery performs better with slow chargers, and I can tell you it's truth, I now onlye charge the phone via USB and seems to have a better battery life(not much better, but still, bit better)

well, I have buy the one I posted and I charged with htc wall charger (it will charge my phone 3 times), that's good but today when I try to charge it again it's say that it's empty. I plug it in charger and in 5 min it's full. (it's take around 2 hour to full charge). when I plug my phone back on - to charge it - it's working normal.... it's that ok or it's going to final/death

I mean it needs a inpulse to go back to normal

It's this happend for you guys?

It sounds like it isn't working properly, though I'm sure you noticed .

Proporta offer a no-hassle returns policy, though you will probably have to pay the postage - so you could request a replacement, or just get you money back & get yourself another brand.

We offer a super high capacity USB battery @ 9600mAh for roughly 39 Euro / USD 55 shipped to any country. The down side is having a single USB port output only comparing to Proporta's dual output.

Wow... that looks physically identical (but in white) to the New Trent 5000mah casing. Even the charge/discharge indicators and button.

Er... can you fit double the capacity into the same volume? What are its dimensions?

 

[Robert A]

sorry for bad pic but here you can have an ideea about the size.

got another clone of the new trent one, tecknet iEP380 5000mAh, about £23 via amazon


note these all charge via the mini usb conector , not the micro charger one that the desire HD uses,

its about the size of the phone again, so not an everyday item to carry around, but when your away from a power source for a day or two it does the job well.
