I bought a couple of cheap portable charges off eBay. Not too bad, but none lasted long enough to charge my Kindle without recharging. Not really a surprise considering the less than 3,000mAh.
What are your experiences with these devices and brands?l Amazon has one that has a Panasonic 3200 mAh battery lion battery for $10.99.
Thanks,
Jerry

I use one of these - http://www.mi.com/en/pb10400/
Highly recommended and cheap. It does about 3 charges for my LG G3. That's about 8 hours of intensive Ingress playing, or probably over a week of normal phone use. Ingress precludes any normal phone use for me though.
I need to use the phone's USB charge cable though. The one that comes with the power pack only does slow charge.

That looks like a winner.
Many thanks,

"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain." -George Orwell, 1984

Nice. That's the newer model, a bit slimmer than mine.
Xiaomi are one of the biggest phone manufacturers in the world but mainly sell in Asia so far. Check out the Mi Note Pro, it could give a few other flagship phones a run for their money. http://www.phonearen...Note-Pro_id9098

After reading this thread and getting an idea of how many mAH might be useful for a tablet, I bought a 6000mAH iHome unit locally for $15. It also came with the micro to USB cable and since the cables for about $5, I felt I got a bargain.
