External high capacity battery backup for mobile phones

MrDixit on 22/04/2013 - 14:59

Heyup y'all

Looking for a reliable external battery that I can use to power / recharge mobile phones. Google has left me very confused about fakes etc.

Anyone got any experience with something that's not a fake and not a rip-off? Looking for something to use on camping trips and long flights.

Also need it to be delivered relatively quickly - I'll need to receive it, cycle the batteries and charge it to full in about three weeks.

Thanks in advance,
MrDixit.

Also see ManBearPig's comment about YooBao chargers (some fake, some real, the real deal costs over $50)

You can buy from DealExtreme and they have an Australian warehouse to pick from but with additional costs.
(International shipping can take beyond 3 weeks).

Probably going to blow your budget, but this one will probably power your phones for a couple of months.

Cheers peeps. Pebble too small, ended up getting Yoobao 11200mAh. That DX one seems a little overkill, but nice to know… Guess I'll find out too late if its fake…

    Looks interesting but doesn't ship to Australia? Don't really have time to get it shipped anyway.

Got one off eBay for 40 bucks. Fake. Meant to be 11500mAh, reckon it's really about 4000. Too late to get another shipped.

  I'd leave a negative feedback… Also do you have the link to the item in question? or seller's name?
