REcommend an external battery charger for Iphone

[Dan Murphy]

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note3 which has a huge battery. No way it is going to last all day at Disney, and I doubt that the small chargers they sell in Wal Mart and Target are gong to be able to charge it, so I went searching the internet.

I found a "Power Bank" charger on Ebay, rated at 50000 mah, which should be more than enough to charge my battery many times. The price was right around $20. The instructions are a bit sketchy, looks like they wrote them in Chinese, and then used an online translator, but it seems to be working fine.

As with so many of the Android devices, your Note has a replaceable battery. I have the Galaxy 4, also replaceable. Very easy to just carry a spare and if battery runs down, pop off the back, pop out the old, pop in the new and you are done in 30 seconds. Works great. Less than $11 delivered.

The Magic Kingdom has rapid charging stations. They are free.
The other parks don't have them yet.

One is located in Cosmic Ray's, the other near Space Mountain.

You need a credit card to open the door to the phone "safe'. You are not charged, it is only for identification.

Plug your phone in, close the door. Takes 30-60 minutes to completely recharge a dead phone. Come back and swipe the same credit card to unlock the safe and get your phone. Your phone may be warm when you get it.

There are not enough charging stations though. They are very popular after 6pm. If you are in MK, I suggest using it before 5pm.

I picked up a Royal 10000 mAh one at Sams, for $30. It came with an iphone 4, 5 and android connector. I get up to 5 full charges for my iphone 4S with it before it needs recharged, its done great so far. I got it to take to Honduras next month.

I have the Jackery Air and I love it! It charges my iPhone 5S from 0% to 100% in about an hour and can be used multiple times before needing to be charged itself.

Woot.com has a great deal for 71% off the rechargeable battery pack I purchased from them in the past. I have used it extensively in the parks and elsewhere. It has a large capacity and can charge two devices at once via USB cables. The regular price is $139.99 and it is on sale for $39.99. I highly recommend purchasing something like this.

My friend got one at costco that has a port for 4's & 5's and charges your phone fully like 4 times for something like $30.

As long as you plug it in overnight to charge it it should be great! We use our phones quite a bit for pictures, videoing, keeping in touch with friends who we're meeting up with and instagramming, so we tend to use them down to dead each day, bahaha!

Some tips for keeping that charge longer:
-Turn your brightness down, especially turn off the auto brightness!
-If you can, turn it on airplane mode & just use the wifi (this also helps it charge much faster)
-Turn off the flash function even when you're not using it
-Close your apps!
