Charger with my wife's old 3GS
My wife and I are booked for a nice little vacation in January to Costa Rica, and I’m really really looking forward to it. Mostly to relax, but still we’re doing a LOT of travelling within the country to many cities. With all this travelling around, I find myself wanting to research, document and kill time on my iPhone and iPad.
Side Note: Before judging me on the merits of bringing my iPhone and iPad while on vacation understand that I’m not a paper person and ALL my travel research is stored on my iPad (details on another post on another day).As some have heard and some already know, constant use of your mobile device EATS your battery alive before you get a chance to get back to some kind of outlet.
Lo and behold this travel charger. I’ve now owned this particular unit that I got from DealExtreme for some time now and it’s fantastic. The reason this $37.99 beauty is better than most is that it packs a 9000mAh capacity, which means it’s charged my iPad once and my iPhone several times in one charge. It’s 2.2A output covers the 2.0A minimum req’d by the iPad to charge. I’ve just ordered the 9600mAh battery as a second unit for my wife to carry around and for me to compare. Happy charging!
