I’m the same… so I EDC a little USB battery charger about the volume of a deck of cards, that will charge Li-ions and NiMhs for my flashlights and gadgets, and also powerbank the cells back to all my USB gadgets.
We can’t have a generator in the current building, hence spending on the ups’s. If / when we move, i know that’s something that will have a high priority.
Welcome mate, i’m in the UK as well so the osprey is an option here, it cost me £0.99 to have it unlocked to all networks (that well known auction site was handy). I bought mine when they had a deal on and got it for £20 on pay as you go with 6gb of data for 90 days.
All the networks offer something along the same lines. My spare sims are from three, giffgaff (O2) and vodafone.
Ah, I remember now, a few years ago I bought a Vodafone dongle thing and the top up/data didn’t expire after X amount of days, it were idea to take on my two week holiday, I only used it for that basically.
One year I tried to use it only to find out that they pulled the plug on that dongle/deal,….I’ll never buy another Vodafone product again.
yeah, but now instead of a dongle it’s a little box you connect to via wifi, although they still offer the dongles.
Yeah they all expire now, it’s either 1 month, 3 months, 12 months or stick it on a contract.
As i use mine for work, my employers pay for my main sim for it (three), it’s something like £20 a month for 15gb on a 30 day contract. The others are pay as you go and i just top them up as needed.
I bought a slew if these for gifts, and didn’t keep any for myself. But I am a vaper, and my mod uses 18650 batteries, so I always have a bunch of them. Which charger uses an interchangeable 18650?
I use mine (15800mah) for my phone, ipod (as I don’t use my phone for music storage/usage) Bluetooth earpiece (not often, but ever once in a while), and I share it around work when a coworker needs juiced up & they’re not around an outlet.
The only battery pack I have is a relatively small ‘phone’ orientated model (which I have no idea of the actual capacity, barring ‘a couple of charges of my phone’)
Small enough that it is pretty much un-noticeable in my bag (unlike some of the beefier ~10000mAh jobs that seem pretty bulky), and is used for the obvious – charging phones and other USB items, which is something that is becoming ever more useful – going travelling that can now include a phone, iPod, tablet, bluetooth gamepad for the tablet, plus a spare for the travelling companion that has inevitably forgotten to charge something of their own. Nowadays USB seems to be becoming a fairly standard system for charging too – even things like the lights on my bike are rechargeable based on a USB charger.
