Charging devices while hiking

Aldi have one on their specials this Sunday at £5.99....Ok so it is 2600 mAh(whatever that means - I really haven't a clue.....and anyway if Neil says this may not be the true spec then it really is pot luck).
I don't really need one of these as I rarely use my phone and if I take my Ipad mini anywhere I usually make sure it is fully charged.
But thank you for the information, it might be useful for someone who needs one of these.

That's a sensible number so is probably true. Think of battery capacity as a jug of water (ok really that would be watt/hours but it's a good enough analogy). You are using that big battery to fill the little battery in your phone/ipad/camera. If the jug of water is bigger it can fill more small glasses.
 
Sorry for bumping a old thread,I thought I'd make folk aware of this offer from EE.

If your a mobile customer (or know someone who is) you can text POWER to 365 (texts cost 35p).
Once you've sent the text you'll receive a code which to give at any EE store to get the power bar.

"It's worth noting that when the deal first launched back in April, while most people were sent a code immediately, some found it didn't arrive for a few hours, so you may need to be patient." EE customer? Get a 'free' £20 power bar portable - Money Saving Expert
 
I got myself a power bar from the EE shop and I also got a power bank from a popular auction site.
The EE power bars also have a torch function making them ideal for camping etc.

Have you read the terms and conditions for your hire of the power bar? You will have to return it in 18 months or pay for it. It's quite a good service if you often find yourself somewhere with an EE shop as you can swap your current flat powerbar for a charged one in the shop.

No,as usual,I didn't read the T&C.
I can assure you though, I won't be returning it or paying for it...


...add it to the list of my "dodgey activities" ;)
 
Cheers for the heads up S,fortunatly,my power bar isn't effected by this recall but others may well have a potential fire risk in their home :eek:
