EXTERNAL USB BATTERIES FOR CELL PHONES
The lime fuel battery is by far my FAVORITE battery. It has a digital display on it to tell you how much battery is left. Its a huge battery at 15,000mah and its damn affordable. If you are getting ONE battery, get the lime fuel, but I suggest you have more than one. The big lime fuel and then a smaller battery that is good for 1 or 2 charges that can easily fit in your pocket and is smaller than the phone.
USB External USB Battery Pack 15,000mAh 5V/2.1A (Black Limefuel Lite LP200X) Charger $19.95 *NEW*
*** FAVORITE *** Currently this is my FAVORITE external USB Battery. Its got two 2.4 amp ports for you to plug into, even has a white LED for light (2 is 1, 1 is none). One of my FAVORITE things about this battery is that it has a digital display on the front that tells you the EXACT percentage of energy left in the battery. Most batteries just have 4 dumb lights that light up to give you an idea of how much is left. I love to be able to look at this and see that its at 100% State of Charge (SOC). This battery has been tested by myself and numerous friends. One of them got this battery 6 months ago, left it in his truck, when your phone needs a charge, just plug it into this and it will dump current into your phone and charge it up pretty quickly. We're talking this battery can charge some phones 8 to 10 times!! If you are going on a week long back pack hike, don't take no damn worthless solar panel, take this battery. its 1/4th the price, 5 to 10 times the energy of your piss power solar panel and it works day and night, rain or shine and will end up weighing less. You fall and break your leg in the woods and find out your cell phone is dead and you are under the trees (in the shade) and you just try to get out your solar panel to charge your phone. You'll be bear bate !!! This you can trust your life on this. IF you are an extreme sports person or rugged outdoors person or back packer, there is a waterproof, rugged version of this battery at http://amzn.to/1NCCn6G If there is going to be a bunch of you who are going to use the same battery, and you need to charge 3 phones at once instead of 2, then get this one here: http://amzn.to/1GNou5E
NOTE: The USB Lights that I have below WILL NOT work on the lime fuel battery because the lime fuel is 'intelligent' and it turns itself off when the cell phone battery is full. It does this by sensing how much current is going out of the battery. When there is a lot, its charging a phone, when there is a little, the phone is charged. So it sees the USB lights as a 'little' current and it turn off the USB light after about 30 seconds. Still..its an awesome battery.
Waterproof USB External Battery Pack 15000mAh 5V/4.2A (Limefuel Rugged L150XR) $99.95 *NEW*
This is the same as the battery above, but its RUGGED. Its in a heavy duty case rugged case. The Limefuel L150XR takes a beating while packing a punch- totally dust proof, shock, crush and vibration proof, and waterproof (when the top cover is closed). It's the ideal external battery pack for the outdoor adventurer. While the non-rugged battery can get bounced around in your luggage a lot, if you are going white water rafting down the Colorado river for a week (or just days) then this IS the battery for you to take with you. If you are going to a very wet environment like the rain forest this is the battery to take.
Poweradd Slim2 5000mAh Ultra Portable External Battery Pack for Smartphones - Black $9.95 *NEW*
This is the same battery that I have in the cell phone video. Its a simple 'lip stick' battery. Fits in your hand and its about 5000mah. Which is good enough for 2 really good charges of your smart phone, plus a bit more. So 3 to 4 partial charges. It fits in your pocket really nice and its not 'too big'. Its a step down from the large lime fuel batteries. This will keep your smart phone charged easily for 2 to 3 days of full use. If you need something a bit smaller than this is it. The price is right for it. It has 4 LED's that light up to tell you if you have 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of a chare in the battery. IT DOES work very nicely with the USB lights that I have below.
AmazonBasics Portable Power Bank with Micro USB Cable - 2,000 mAh $5.99 *NEW*
I LOVE this little battery. When you want JUST ONE GOOD CHARGE then this is the battery for it. Its the same size as a credit card but its thicker of course, but not too much thicker. It fits in your pocket just fine, any pocket, shirt pocket, pants pocket etc... If I was going out and about for the day this is the battery that I'd take with me... and I DO take it with me. I've used it quite a bit letting my phone not get charged up the previous night I have used this to charge my phone the next day just to get some time on the battery for testing. The nice thing is, its got its own charge cable built into it. It wraps around and tucks into the corner just perfectly. So I don't need to carry another cable. I just put this BEHIND my phone and plug the cable into the bottom of my phone and I carry the 2 as one unit. It works so great. This battery is 2000mah, I have the 3000mah version, which, when making this the 3000mah is out of stock. Either will work fine, the 2000mah will be a bit thinner. Charge this from ANY of the USB wall or car chargers on this page or my other 1234 pages. It has only 1 led light that changes color to tell you if its charged, charging or it blinks if its below 25% charge. This WILL NOT work with the USB Lights I have because there is no full size USB port on it for the lights to plug into. It only has the micro USB port on it.
EC Technology 2nd Gen 22400mAh External Battery with 3 USB Outputs for Smartphones and Tablets $32.99 *NEW*
If you can't get a lime fuel battery OR if you have need for a battery with 3 USB Charging ports on it (Lime Fuel has 2) then this is the battery for you. It only has 4 LED's to tell you the state of charge but it works very well. This one WILL run the USB lights and won't turn them off automatically.
DROK� 5PCS Super Bright White Micro USB Power Touch Switch LED Night Light 3LEDs 5V 150mA 6000k $11.18 *NEW* I LOVE these little USB Lights. They sure as hell are NOT a 'night light'. They are BRIGHT. These are very small, very light, all 5 will fit in the palm of your hand with room to spare. They plug into any USB port forwards or backwards, it does not matter. When you bring your finger near the top, or you touch it, it will turn ON or it will turn OFF. It actually senses the 'capacitance' of your body to turn the light on and off. There is NO physical switch so there are no moving parts at all. If you loose your flashlight, your phone and everything else that can make light at least you'll have a few of these that can go into your USB batteries. They will light up a room nice and will cast a light onto anything you are working on so that you can see what you are doing easily. These are a backup light to your backup light. For the weight, size and price, I can't see any reason to not carry these. In fact I have 2 of them taped (with gorilla tape) to the back of my lime fuel battery so I can always find them in a hurry without having to search through
my stuff. On a 15,000mah Lime Fuel Battery, one of these can be illuminated for over 100+ hours.
DROK 5PCS 3LEDS Handy USB Night Light 5V 150mA 6000k Pocket Nightlight with USB Connector and Touch Dimmer Switch Supper Bright White Light $13.78 *NEW*
The DROK LED's ABOVE are Touch for ON and Touch for OFF. THESE DROK LED's are not only Touch ON and Touch OFF but TOUCH and HOLD to DIM and TOUCH and HOLD to BRIGHTEN. They are just so awesome. Not only will these run between 100 and 200 hours on a limefuel 20,000mah battery but on the dimmest setting, which is great for a night light so you can wake up and see some stuff, and then touch the light for full brightness, but on the lowest setting the lime fuel would run for THOUSANDS of hours. My DROK USB meter measures down to 0.01ma and when the LED was the dimmest it was 0.00. So a darn long time is how long it will run.
XTAR VC2 Plus LED Display USB Universal Battery Charger with Pouch $21.29 *NEW*
NOTE: This is fast becoming my #1 portable charger. SO important that if you were traveling to remote areas, I'd tell you to buy 2 of them. Now, the UM-10 above is smaller than this charger, but this charger is NOT that large. If space is super critical get the UM-10 Above. If not, GET THIS CHARGER. Unlike the chargers above, this charger charges ALL Lithium ion batteries AND it charges ALL NiMH AA and AAA batteries. PLUS... The in the LEFT SLOT, you can put a lithium ion (like an 18650 or 26650) and you can plug your Phones USB cable into this 'charger' and it will charge your phone from the lithium ion battery. ONE 18650 took my Android Galaxy S4 from 14% Battery to 98% in about 1+ Hours. SO this BACKS UP your portable Lithium Ion USB Batteries (like the Lime Fuel). So you can charge batteries for your flashlights and head lamps (any battery) AND it will charge your phone if you have to. (Charging feature only works WITH Lithium ION Batteries). I cannot say enough good things about this device !!!
3400mAh TWO 18650 PROTECTED Li-ion (Panasonic NCR18650B inside) SIMON Batteries - High Performance -Top Button - Dual Protection- For High Performance Flashlights $35.00 *NEW*
Watch this video and decide if you want a cheap 18650 battery? http://youtu.be/ZTzEHsJVZhA This 18650 battery is made by Panasonic and it has ALL of the protection features built into it that it should have. Panasonic also makes our favorite AA/AAA Eneloop batteries as well. This battery is considerably bigger than the 14500 and provides more total capacity. Its a great battery, it is what's replacing all of the horrible CR123 batteries. The reason you don't see a rechargeable CR123 battery on ANY of my pages is because they are all CRAP. News Story about house fire started by Lithium Ion Batteries: http://tinyurl.com/qg9f2f3 CNN VIdeo about iphone burning a man. iphones use the 'same' lithium ion batteries as you see here. http://tinyurl.com/kubd7s9
Storacell Powerpax 18650 Battery Caddy, Orange, 4-Pack $10.29 *NEW*
This is exactly like all of the other Storacell Powerpax battery holders but this holds the much larger 18650 batteries and keeps them protected. You really MUST have your 18650's in a battery holder, a battery case or in a device when you travel. You DO NOT want them loose. A shorted or damaged lithium ion battery is a small flame thrower (I'm serious) and it can easily start a fire. Lithium Ion batteries are like NOTHING you are familiar with in your entire life. Heed my caution !!
ON THE WAY Super Bright CREE XM-L T6 U2 2000Lumens Zoomable 5 modes LED Flashlight Torch Lamp Light 26650 18650 Rechargeable Battery/AAA Battery Waterproof Shockproof $17.98 *NEW*
This flashlight is in the bug out bag video, not because I want you to have it because I think 2000 lumens (max) is TOO BRIGHT. But I want you to see how versatile these new "OMNI VOLTAGE" flashlights can be. This flashlight runs off of 1 26650 or 2 26650s, 1 18650 or 2 18650s, or 3 AAA batteries or 6 AAA batteries (you got to see the video). Although I'd NEVER run AAA's in a light this powerful because they'd last about 30 minutes. See how powerful and flexible the 'omni voltage' feature can be? If this light had a 2000 lumens HIGH, 300 Lumens MID and 10 Lumens LOW feature, then I'd say it was awesome, but its just as bright as it can be based on the batteries that are in it. Right now I'm suggesting flashlights like the Nitecore SRT5 (above) that takes 18650's (or CR123's) but I AM experimenting with the newer, less popular (for now) 26650 batteries. p.s. I HATE CR123's, 18650's blow them away.
2 Pack 3.7V 6000mah 26650 Li-ion Rechargeable Battery Protected $10.92 *NEW* I early adopt everything and I test it test it test it, play with it and then I bring it to you if its good. If you want to play with the 26650 flashlight above, or if you want some LARGER batteries for the XTAR charger ABOVE, then get these batteries. 18650's are a good 3400mah (for the good ones) and these 26650's are 6000mah. So they are larger and have more energy. You WILL need the XTAR charger (below) to charge these. They don't fit in most lithium ion chargers, they are big. So these are here for as a notice of what I am experimenting with. If you want to experiment along with me, get these...if not..wait for me to come to a final decision. If you want to know the difference between a 14500, 18650, 26650 and what that all means, then get the Bug Out Bag Video.
BLU Tank II T193 Unlocked GSM Dual-SIM Cell Phone w/ Camera and 1900 mAh Big Battery - Unlocked Cell Phones - Retail Packaging - Black Yellow $19.99 *NEW* Ok. you have a smart phone. You have to charge it up everyday. Just letting it sit there on standby and waiting for a call, and not making any calls or surfing the net and your phone will need to be charged every day or every 24 hours, at least. This phone can sit there waiting for a call for 720 Hours!! or 30 Days !! That is 1 month of standby (not talking) for 30 days. The phone only costs 20 bucks !! and its a duel sim card phone. So you can take the sim card from your smart phone (likely a micro sim) put it into the microsim to full size sim adapter (below) and then slide it in this phone. You can go to Europe, buy a
local calling sim card, put that in this phone AND/OR put YOUR sim card into this phone and have them both in there. So you can make local EU calls (or any country) and still get your USA calls. Going to the beach? don't want to take your $700 smart phone to the sand and the waves? Take this phone with you. Afraid of going someplace in the 3rd world where your smart phone will get robbed right out of your pocket if seen? Then put your sim card in this phone and take that with you. Keep your smart phone in your backpack or locked up at the hotel. Are you in a 3rd world situation and you have no power except for your lime fuel battery, and you have to sit there waiting for a phone call regarding your rescue? Then turn off your smart phone and put your sim in here and use this thing to wait for your phone call. The lime fuel would keep this thing charged for almost a year of standby time.
Are you traveling? Did you just drop your smart phone into the toilet as you bent over to flush it? Did your cell phone just die? Take out your sim card, its still good, and place it into this phone and you now are back in communications INSTANTLY. Note: Sprint and Verizon DO NOT have SIM cards and are NOT GSM Phones. This is a Quad Band World Band GSM Cell Phone. It works everywhere there is GSM service, which is most of the world.
MediaDevil Simdevil 3-in-1 SIM Card Adapter Kit (Nano / Micro / Standard) $6.97 *NEW*
Most smart phones in the USA today have a MICRO SIM card in them. SIM cards are what give your cell phone its phone number and data about your carrier. Its the heart of your phone. The BLU phone above takes a FULL SIZE sim card. If you want to put your micro or mini sim card from your USA phone into the BLU phone above as a backup phone, then you'll need this adapter to put your sim card into, and then put this adapter and your sim card into the BLU phone. I show how to do this in the Cell Phone Video in explicit detail.
USB WALL AND CAR CHARGERS & ACCESSORIES
These are the tools I use to charge up my cell phone, tablet, and batteries at home and when I travel. Read my comments below on each item for more great details so you can decide what is right for you. When you TRAVEL (even in the USA) you should have at least TWO wall chargers and ONE Car Charger. If you are going to be spending a lot of time in a vehicle in the USA or especially when in foreign countries you want TWO car chargers. Having one wall charger is called a 'Single Point of Failure'. If your wall charger dies, you're not charging your cell phone, tablet and batteries from 120/240 volts. 2 is 1, 1 is none. They are cheap and small, carry 2. If your party has 3 people in it, carry 4, if you have 4 people, carry 5 chargers etc...
iClever BoostCube 4.8A 24W Dual USB Travel Wall Charger with SmartID Technology, Foldable Plug $10.99 *NEW*
This is a full power 4.8 amp charger, with 2 ports, so it will deliver a full 2.4 amps to each port for the fastest charging of your tablet and or smart phone. Its about as small its going to get for a charger of this amperage and the neat thing is that the plugs on it fold up so it won't snag on stuff in your luggage or get bent. Its nice and compact. This USB Charger will handle any voltage from 110 volts to 240 volts AC. So you CAN plug it directly into the ADAPTER above that is plugged into the 220 volt foreign outlet where ever you are. If you are 1 person, you should have 2 of these, if you are 2 people traveling, you should have 3. If you are 4 you should have 5 or 6 total. Crap gets broken or lost and your cell phone is your lifeline. This is an intelligent charger and will charge your cell phone at the highest amperage that it can.
Anker PowerPort 4 (40W 4-Port USB Wall Charger) Multi-Port USB Charger with Foldable Plug $26.99 *NEW*
This is a VERY nice USB Charger. It supports up to 4 USB ports for charging at a full 2.0+ amps per port. If you want to charge 3 or 4 items at once than this is the charger for you. Note: If you take this traveling I would NOT have this as my only charger. Its a single point of failure. I would have at least this charger and then ONE of the iClever 2 port chargers above. The plug folds in on this one just like on the iClever so its easy to put into your luggage and not snag on anything. I will be carrying this on my next trip abroad. This is an intelligent charger and will charge your cell phone at the highest amperage that it can.
iClever BoostDrive Premium USB Car Charger 36W / 7.2A, 3-Ports with SmartID Technology, Black $11.99 *NEW*
This thing is so small I love it. It has 3 USB ports on it and each one can handle 2.4 amps. You can see me using this with the big 100 watt solar panel in the cell phone video. This is the charger that I use on a regular basis in my truck and defiantly the charger I take with me when I travel. If you are going to be in a vehicle most of the time for your travels, take 2 of these. If not, then 1 will work. This is small and light weight. This is an intelligent charger and will charge your cell phone at the highest amperage that it can.
iClever BoostDrive 48W 9.6A 4-Port USB Car Charger, Multi-port Power Adapter with SmartID Technology $13.99 *NEW*
This is exactly the SAME as the above charger BUT it has 4 ports rather than 3 charging USB ports on it. This is NOT the 4 USB port charger I used in the video, this is the one I will be using from now on. The one in the video is an older one that I was using, and as you can tell it was bigger than the 3 port one I have above, this is is small as well but its larger than the 3 port one below. For the super light weight traveler, take the 3 port one above. For the traveler that needs 3 ports, Mom, Dad and 2+ kids with Phones in the car, then take this one. If you need more than 4 ports then get 2 of these and use the 3 outlet 12 volt adapter I have below in the vehicle. If you are military or government and you are traveling to the 3rd world as a team, I'd have 3 of these 4 port chargers AND the 3 outlet 12 volt adapter below WITH the 12 volt clamp on cigarette lighter adapter shown below. That way you can clamp onto any car battery and charge up to 12 things at once. This is an intelligent charger and will charge your cell phone at the highest amperage that it can.
Roadpro 12V Battery Clip-On and Cigarette Lighter Adapter $5.02 *NEW*
You are way out in the middle of no where, in a small village that has no electricity. You see Achmed drive into town in his Toyota pickup truck. You stop him and offer him a few dollars for you to charge your phone and USB batteries from his truck battery. Being that he only makes a few dollars a day he accepts your offer. He lifts his hood and you use these clamps to clamp onto his battery and then you use the THREE 12 volt adapter below to plug into THIS adapter and now you have three 12 volt cigarette lighter power sockets. You plug 2 of your 4 port car chargers into the sockets and start to charge up 3 cell phones and 2 large lime fuel batteries plus an android tablet. Into the 3rd socket you plug in the 30 minute Energizer 4 AA/AAA battery charger and start to charge up some AA batteries. This is what I, Steven Harris, call Harvesting Power.
AVANTEK R41 3-Socket Cigarette Lighter Power Adapter DC Outlet Splitter 4.8A 2-Port USB Car Charger $13.99 *NEW*
THIS IS the 3 PORT 12 Volt Adapter I just described in the ABOVE Box regarding the 12 volt batter clip on adapter. Not only do you get 3 12 volt power ports by just plugging into one 12 volt outlet, but this adapter has TWO USB 2.4 amp charging ports, one on each side of the device. So if you had three 4 port cigarette lighter USB chargers you could charge 4 + 4+ 4 +2 = 14 USB devices at the same time. If you are going to need to charge more than 4 USB devices at any one time when you travel (for what ever reasons) then you MUST have one of these. There is no way around it. In the video I have a 2 OUTLET 12 volt cable that I show you. It has thin wires in it, and can EASILY handle charging as many USB devices as you'd want, but if you plug in something that takes over 100 watts into that splitter than you might smoke the wires. For the size, this is just as compact as the 2 outlet splitter I show in the video and this is fused so if you do try to do something stupid with it, it will blow the fuse. Plus this has 2 USB ports on it so that is a bonus.
Foxnovo Fast-blow Glass Fuses Quick Blow Car Glass Tube Fuses Assorted Kit Amp $7.99 *NEW*
The ABOVE 3 12 Volt outlets has a much too small fuse in it, its like 4 amps....which is nothing. You want to put a 15 or 20 amp fuse in it. I paid $4.29 for five 20 amp fuses at autozone, most of the fuses on amazon were about the same price. For a few dollars more you are better off spending $8 on this and getting an ENTIRE ASSORTMENT of of fuses in a nice box just in case you have any other fuses in 'something' blow on you during a blackout. The 2nd time you ever go to this thing to get a fuse you'll be saying, "Thank you Steven Harris."
Roadpro 12V, 2 Outlet Platinum Series Fused Cigarette Lighter Adapter with Short Cord $8.90 *NEW*
If you just need a simple 2 outlet splitter than this will work or you. Personally I'd take the 3 outlet one above but this might be more minimal for some people. The damn thing is fused so get the fuses above and put a 15 amp fuse in this so it does not blow when you need it the most.
Energizer Recharge Rapid Charger with 4 AA NiMH Rechargeable Batteries (included) Car and AC Wall Adaptor, 15-Min Charge Time $32.59 *NEW*
This is the charger I show in the video on the 100 watt solar panel and also on the table. This is the charger that I use if I MUST charge 4 AA batteries in 30 minutes or less. It says its a 15 minute charger, but that is for 2 AA batteries. This will charge AA or AAA NiMH batteries and ONLY NiMH batteries. It does NOT charge lithium ion. Also, this does come with a BIG 120 volt wall wart but if you get this the ONLY reason I'd get this is for charging AA/AAA batteries from a 12 volt source. Any SERIOUS AA / AAA charging being done from 120 or 240 volts should be done with the powerex charger. This is for back home, or your home base or whatever. Its a better charger with a lot more information and it does not have a large wall wart. It will charge 8 AA batteries from dead to full in 2 hours, or 1 hours if you get the 1 hour version, but it has a much larger wall wart. 8 AA's in 2 hours or less is "Fast Enough".
The PowerEx charger is on http://www.Prep1234.com If you wanted to charge up a WHOLE BUNCH of AA's in 1 hour, if you put 4 of these chargers on a piece of wood, wired them all together and then clamped onto the battery of a car that stopped for you for 1 hour, you could charge 32 AA Batteries in 1 hour. Go to the Bug Out Bag Video to see my AA powered flashlights and head lamps and other tools that use AA batteries that would be helpful in a 3rd world or post collapse environment or a disaster.
Rayovac 4 AA USB Backup Charger with Micro USB and Batteries Included (PS73-4B) $14.97 *NEW*
I show this charger in the video and mostly I tell you the reasons to NOT USE IT. On 4 AA Alkaline batteries its a 2500 mah charger. On 4 AA NiMH batteries its a 2000mah charger. For 2x the size, the lime fuel battery or others are a 15,000 to 22,500 mah charger and they are only 1.5x to 2x the cost. Unless you are in a very heavy AA environment where you got a bunch of AA batteries but not much access to 120/240 volts or 12 volts, then this is not the USB Phone charger for you. I put it here only to be inclusive for my items in the video. If I have it in the video I want you to be able to find it here. You are NOT me. You might have a great application for this, but I don't. Not with lithium-ion technology so widely available and cheap.
HIGHEST QUALITY HIGH SPEED CHARGING CABLES
There is nothing more expensive than cheap cables. There is nothing cheaper than high quality expensive cables. Cables are the #1 point of failure for failure to charge. They get bent, broken, snapped and crushed. You want a HIGH quality cable that you can DEPEND ON. If I have 1 phone, 1 USB Battery and 1 Tablet I'll be carrying 5 cables total just in case I break one or two or my high quality cables. Plus people tend to forget and leave cables behind and forget about them. These are the HIGH quality cables that I use on a daily basis now.
Anker [5-Pack] Micro USB Cable Combo in Assorted Lengths, Ultra Durable and Nylon Braided Charging Cables $15.99 *NEW*
This comes out to be just over $3 per cable. You get 5 cables in this pack. You get a 1 foot cable (good for charging a USB Battery next to the wall charger) and you get a 3 foot nylon braded 3 foot cable (the cable I use the most) and you get a 6 foot version of this same cable, and you get a black 6 foot cable (not nylon wrapped but durable as heck) and I get a 10 foot cable, which is good for going from the car charger to the back seat. It works nice. I just got 2 of these 5 packs and now I have plenty of cables. If you want to see ALL of the High Quality Anker Cables ( I use nothing but Anker Cables now) then click HERE on THIS LINK to see them ALL. These are USB cables for ANDROID (non-Apple) Devices. See below for an Apple Cable.
Anker PowerLine 3ft Apple MFi Certified Lightning to USB Cable Sturdy Charging Cord for iPhone 5/5s/5c 6/6s Plus, iPad mini/Air/Pro iPod touch(Red) $9.99 *NEW*
This is the Anker cable for Apple devices that use the more modern LIGHTNING Charging Cable. I own and use this cable (for the wife's phone) and its durable as heck. I'd trust the heck out of the cable. If you have a 30 pin connector for an iPhone 4 or earlier, its time to upgrade.
USB VOLTAGE & AMPERE AND CHARGE METER.
Instrumentation has been a life long expertise for me. I specialized in it (among other things) when I was in the Scientific Labs of Chrysler Corporation. I've always had a great test bench since high school and into college and my professional and personal career. If you do not have instrumentation you have NO IDEA what is working, if its working or what is not working. That is how IMPORTANT this little USB meter is. It goes between your charger and your USB Cable and it tells you the voltage, the amperes (current) and total charge that has gone through the meter. The second you plug in your phone you usually hear a 'bloop' that tells you its charging. Do you want to trust your Cell Phone LIFE LINE to a 'bloop' or a 'bleep' that its charging and is charging as fast as it can? This meter will tell you the exact current that your phone or your USB battery is charging at. You'll get to know that your phone typically charges at 1.25 amps (like mine does) when its working properly. Plus this meter tells you the TOTAL charge that has gone through it since it was plugged in. So if you have an 1850mah battery in your smart phone and its at 15% when you plug it into charge and the next morning when you wake up the meter says that 1500mah have gone through it then you KNOW that your phone is charged. Not only does your phone say 100% but the counter on the meter tells you that a full charge went into the phone. If only 750mah went into the phone, and it said 100%, and you started at 15%, then you'd know that there was something that went wrong and one of your devices is lying to you. Its good to find a problem before it really becomes a problem. Read below, I even use this device to CHECK MY CABLES to make sure they are working and I can check the charger at the same time. If your phone is not charging without this you will not know if the charger is bad, the cable is bad or if the phone or its battery is bad. With this device you WILL know which one of the 3 is bad, as I cover this IN DETAIL in the 2.5 Hour Cell Phone Video ( available on this page )
DROK Mini OLED USB Current Voltage Test Meter Charger Detector Multimeter DC 5V 12V 3A 30W 99999mAh Volt Amp Power Capacity Display $14.53 *NEW*
Read ABOVE this listing in my text for exactly how POWERFUL and how IMPORTANT this is to have with your cell phone and USB batteries etc... This is SO powerful, I suggest you travel or have 2 of them !!
I own more than 8 different USB meters and this is the one that I keep on using over and over and over and traveling with. This one is the WINNER.
This item is so small, so powerful and so incredibly useful, that if you were traveling and especially if it was in an area where you MUST HAVE your cell phone working I would tell you to carry TWO of these. Just incase one gets broken or one gets lost you still have another one for backup. I'd just tape my spare one to the back of my LIME FUEL battery with some gorilla tape.
This device can also be used to check your charger and more importantly the charging cables to make sure they are good and not intermittent. You need BOTH of the USB adapters below to check the cables. Sorry about needing both of them, but I can't find one adapter that will do it.
SIENOC USB 2.0 a Male to Micro USB Female Converter Adapter Adaptor $4.49 *NEW*
At the time I'm writing this, there are 2 places selling this in China and 1 in the USA via Amazon Prime. I had to get mine from China. You can get yours from Amazon Prime. See the Cell Phone Video (on this page) regarding how to use this and the adapter below to check your cell phone cables and to make sure they are perfect and in working order. You might as well buy 2 of these, because the adapter below only comes as a 2 pack.
Cable Matters (2 Pack) Gold-Plated SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Female Coupler $7.99 *NEW*
This only comes in a 2 pack, and you only need 1, but you're stuck buying the 2 pack if you want one from the USA. So you might as well buy enough of the connector above so you can have 2 of them so you have one and have one as a backup. With these two adapters (as shown in the video) you can plug your USB charger in the wall, plug the cable into the charger, plug this into the end of the USB cable (that would normally go into the phone) and then plug the DROK USB meter into this and it will come up and say 5.01 volts and then you can wiggle the cable around to see if there is an intermittent connection and you can make sure the cable is perfect. Bad, squished, bent, crushed or broken cables are the #1 reason for a failure to charge. Everything I just said here is illustrated in detail in the Cell Phone Video. Get the Video.
Mediabridge USB 2.0 - USB Extension Cable (6 Inches) - A Male to A Female with Gold-Plated Contacts $5.49 *NEW*
Sometimes my Wall Charger will be in a place where its not convenient for me to see the DROK USB Meter that is plugged into it, so I use this 6" USB cable or the 12" cable below it to get the meter away from the charger so I can see it easily. Its just a little tool that works good. This 6" Cable also works VERY GOOD with the simple, small 2 AA/AAA battery charger that I have onhttp://www.BugOUT1234.com because if its plugged into the wall or car charger it will block the other ports. This cable gets it away from the ports so they are all free and open for the maximum number of USB Cables.
USB 2.0 Male to Female 1 Foot Extension Cable Yellow Extension Cables $4.99 *NEW*
Here are some nice 12" (1 foot) extension cables. The one above is 6 inches, these are 12". These are NOT the ones I had in the cell phone video because the blue cable in the video is a USB 3.0 cable and I think its too thick and stiff for what I want it for. I'd rather have a thinner and more flexible cable and these should be it. Plus, these cables are really affordable, and with these I can carry 2 or 3 of them and I need a 2 foot or 3 foot extension cable all I have to do is chain them together.
WORLD VOLTAGE ADAPTERS
Most of the world runs on 220/240 volts AC. The USA runs on 120/110 volts AC. In this world there are voltage ADAPTERS and voltage CONVERTERS. An adapter ONLY adapts over the copper pins from one outlet (like Europe) to a USA outlet. This way you can use your USA plug on an EU outlet BUT the voltage is still 240 VOLTS !!! The USB Chargers on this page can accept 120 or 240 volts. They are 'world' voltage chargers. If your devices does NOT accept 240 volts as an input voltage, and its normally a 120 volt USA devices and you plug it into 240 volts the DAMN THING WILL BLOW UP, Catch FIRE or worse. Voltage CONVERTERS will CONVERT the 240 volts to 120 volts or visa versa. So why not always carry a converter? Because they require a transformer and so they are heavier and a lot more expensive. Most people who get a converter only get 300 or 500 watt converters, like for their laptop that does not take in 240 volts. *IF* you try to plug in your damn curling iron or hair dryer (1500 watts) into a 300 or 500 watt converter you will FRY the damn thing. Learn MORE about this in my Cell Phone Video...I don't have enough text here to tell you everything about this.
MOCREO Two USB Ports Universal World Wide All-in-one Safety Travel Charger Wall Charger Adapter Plug Built-in Dual USB Ports For Home Use-Safety Fuse Protection (White) $15.90 *NEW*
As I have described above, this adapts over the copper pins and sockets so you can plug a USA plug into an EU socket, or a UK socket or an AU socket or even a China Socket. See the video for more details and for how to check to see EXACTLY what socket adapter AND voltage is needed in ANY country in the world. I cover this in detail in the video. This voltage adapter has the nice feature that it also has 2 USB charging ports in it BUT they are limited to 1 amp each. The USB Wall chargers I have above not only work on 120 or 240 volts but they will charge up to 2.4 amps PER PORT. That makes a big difference in charging times. These USB charging ports on this adapter are to be considered BACK UP and part of your 2 is 1, 1 is none philosophy.
Mudder WorldWide Universal AC International Adapter Travel Charger with Dual 2.5A USB Charging Ports (US UK EU AU) $16.99 *NEW*
This is EXACTLY the same as the World Plug ADAPTER ABOVE BUT it does NOT have a fuse in it. My friend that travels the world says that fuses are a CURSE. He NEVER travels with ANYTHING with a fuse anymore. As I always say, what do fuses do? They blow. When do they blow, right when you need them the most. This adapter has NO fuses in it. It has the same pins, prongs and 2 USB ports as the one above. I'd suggest you get this one. If you are a sacredly cat, get the one with the fuses.
LiteFuze LC-300US 300Watt Step Up/Down Travel Voltage Converter, US Cord $30.99 *NEW*
At this link, there is this 300 watt CONVERTER and a 500 watt CONVERTER. It does not matter what 'end' you get on it, because the universal socket on the ADAPTER (above) will take any of them. This CONVERTS 220 volts AC into 120 volts AC for your USA items, like your laptop which might be a 120 volt only power supply. DO NOT go and plug in your damn curling iron, hair dryer or anything else like that. Those items are well lover 1000 watts and you'll fry this little converter instantly. This is basically for your electronics ONLY that do not take 220 volts AC. This item is NOT in the cell phone video.
SOLAR PANELS FOR CHARGING CELL PHONES
Solar panels have a place for charging cell phones but they are NOT the silver bullet. They are NOT the first thing you go to, NOT even the 2nd or the 3rd thing you go to for charging a cell phone but for an extensive off grid situation or a 3rd world environment they have a place and I cover that in DETAIL in the Cell Phone Video. Anyone else would love to have you buy their $55 to $189 solar panel from them but I want you to have REAL solutions that work and I'm not in this just to make a few cents commission from you on Amazon products. You get the straight hard truth from me on all subjects that I teach.
21W 2-Port USB Solar Charger [Anker PowerPort Solar] $54.99 *NEW*
Don't get super damn excited just because I put up a solar panel here that will charge a phone. I cover the use and the limitations of this in detail in the Cell Phone Video (on this page). My phone charges at just over 6 watts of power and I cover in detail in the video why I have a 21 watt solar panel for getting 6 watts of power. I cover the output of the panel in the winter, at different places in the country and with different cloud covers in the sky. I cover from full sun, to whipsy clouds to bright overcast to full overcast. It will amaze you. NO ONE tells you the TRUTH about solar panels like I do. If you are going to be more than 2 weeks off the grid AND away from ALL vehicles than a solar panel might be in your future. IF you are planning on a SHTF situation and you HAVE MORE than 2 to 3 months of Food AND Water DONE and put away and in storage then a solar panel might work good for you. If you are planning for something less than 2 months then your car and some stored fuel will be by far better for you than a damn solar panel !!! Again, NO ONE tells you the truth about solar panels like I do.
Renogy 100 Watts 12 Volts Monocrystalline Solar Panel $139.95 *NEW*
This solar panel will power a 12 volt cigarette lighter USB Charger DIRECTLY from its open circuit and operating voltage (up to 22.4 volts) . It does NOT have a USB output on it. Its a "12 volt" panel. IF you wanted to use it to charge up a 12 volt battery like a marine battery YOU MUST have a CHARGE CONTROLLER (see http://www.Solar1234.com )
In the Cell Phone Video I demonstrate using this panel to directly power up to 7 USB ports and I am charging two 20,000mah USB Batteries, a phone, a tablet an 18650 charger with 2 18650's in it PLUS I have another cig lighter outlet onto which I have the 30 minute energizer AA NiMH Charger on it charging 4 eneloop AA batteries. All of this done in January Sunshine in a mid-western state. You need to see the video to understand all of the little details involved in this. This is NOT a portable solar panel, this panel is something you'd have at home or if you were way out in the middle of no where or were off grid, its something that you'd haul to some place, its not something that you would haul around to a lot of places with you.
HQST 100 Watt 12 Volt Monocrystalline Bendable Solar Panel $189.99 *NEW*
This is a BENDABLE 100 Watt Solar Panel, and its only $50 more than the solid hard silicon one above. You CANNOT ROLL this thing up...but it does bend, it does flex and its is tremendously more durable than the panel above. You CAN damage it, but its moderately hard to damage, not easy to damage, not hard to damage, moderate to damage. So it WOULD travel with you a lot better. I've used these in the past, but I do not own this particular one. I do not think you will be disappointed by this panel in the least. In fact, next time I have to buy some solar panels, I'm getting these flexible ones over the rigid ones. These also only weigh about 3 pounds each.
This solar panel will power a 12 volt cigarette lighter USB Charger DIRECTLY from its open circuit and operating voltage (up to 22.4 volts) . It does NOT have a USB output on it. Its a "12 volt" panel.
Tekpower M-810B Ultra-Compact Pocket-Size 19-Range Digital Multimeter $4.99 *NEW*
In the Cell Phone Video I have the wires on my solar panels cut and stripped. I did this because I adapted it over to charge the battery bank in the back of my pickup truck (seehttp://www.Battery1234.com) and I show it in the video in detail, but for various reasons the red wire is not always positive and the brown wire is not always negative, so I had to test the voltage of the solar panel FIRST before I hooked anything up and I used this Digital MultiMeter to do it. I have this meter in the BugOut Bag Video (http://www.BugOUT1234.com) and in the Cell Phone Video. I really really like this DMM.
WATERPROOF SMART PHONE CASES
As shown in the Cell Phone Video, these after market phone cases will keep your smart phone 100% waterproof, and I even show me using my phone through the case on the video. If you are doing to be an extreme dusty environment, a rain forest or white water rafting and you are taking your phone with you, then you will want one of these cases for your smart phone.
DandyCase Blue Waterproof Case for Apple iPhone 5, Galaxy S4, HTC One, iPod Touch 5 - Also fits other Large Smartphones up to 5.3 $11.99 *NEW*
This is the waterproof case I had in the cell phone video. I got it sometime ago. It does NOT fit the newer "large" smart phones like the iphone 6+ and the Galaxy Notes and the 6 Edge... but it fits the regular phones just fine. I think the case I have listed below might be better. Its larger and will take ALL of the new larger phones PLUS since its larger if you have a regular smart phone with a thick case around it like an OtterBox or a Ballistic case it will fit in the case just fine.
Universal Waterproof Case, JOTO Cell Phone Dry Bag for Apple iPhone 6S 6,6S Plus, 5S 7, Samsung Galaxy S7, S6 Note 5 4, HTC LG Sony Nokia Motorola up to 6.0" diagonal (Black) $10.99 *NEW*
This case has almost 9000 feedbacks on it with a 4.6 out of 5 rating. I just ordered one in but I wanted it because I have a regular sized smart phone with a big case around it and I wanted this larger case to my phone could go directly into it without me taking off the case, which, is what I did for the case above. Either way, my phone is 100% waterproof with either of these.
Ziploc Double Zipper Quart Freezer Bags, 216 Count $18.49
You can get one of the nice water proof cases above or if you are on a budget a quart size ziploc bag will work JUST AS WELL. There are 1001 uses for a ziploc bag in your travel kit. Put bathroom stuff in one, shaving stuff in another, put batteries in another one etc... Plus... you can even fill them up and put water in them in an emergency. I show this in the bug out bag video with a gallon ziploc but a quart bag would work just as good.

ARO LBH55-8APS LED Light Bulb Omni Directional 60 Watt Replacement 800 Lumen Soft White 2-Pack $13.99 *NEW*
Did you see my free promo video on how to get power any where in the world from ANY light bulb? http://www.CellPhone1234.com So if you do this in the USA, you'll be on 120 volts, if you do this almost anywhere else in the world you'll be on 220/240 volts. The adapter might take up the socket where the light bulb was, or you might want the light down near you on the table. Think of being stuck in a room with just a light bulb in the ceiling, and no outlets, or you don't have any outlet adapters (shame on you). So if you are going to do this and have your own very durable LED light bulb, the light bulb must work on 120 AND 240 volts. Normal USA LED light bulbs plugged into 240 volts will BLOW UP and catch fire. I searche and searched and searched and I found this light bulb. It works on ANY voltage between 100 and 240 volts. Not only does it say this on the box, but in the CELL PHONE VIDEO I plug it into 120 volts and I plug it into 240 volts (on my kitchen table) and I show you that it works.... and I have a big digital volt meter to prove it to you. IF you travel the world, especially the 3rd world, you are going to be a fool if you don't spend the the little bit of money on the cell phone video and watch how I power and illuminate and do everything on 240 volts. How I adapt over the outlet pins, how I convert the voltage from 240 to 120 volts (and many times I don't have to) and how I power my laptop and other devices with a voltage converter (different than an outlet adapter). I explain the differences all in the video. Satisfaction is guaranteed on ALL of our videos. If you don't think its worth every single penny you spent you just email me for a prompt and courteous refund.
UNLIMITED MOVIES, TV, VIDEO, AUDIO, MUSIC, PODCASTS AND PDF DOCUMENTS ON YOUR CELL PHONE OR TABLET
When I travel, I travel with a TON of TV to catch up on. I have all of the individual video files downloaded for TV shows that I want to watch. I watch them in the airport, on the plane and anywhere I get stuck. Even in the hotel room at night when there is nothing good on TV, which is most of the time. These methods and tools will work on video, audio, MP3 files and PDF documents. So you can literally have the entire encyclopedia Britannica with you. I think this is SO important for you to have as entertainment AND especially REFERENCE, you can have all of the How TO Videos that you'd desire that I cover this in detail and demonstrate it on the Cell Phone Video. These methods work on my Android Cell Phone and Android Tablet. I also have methods on how to do this on Apple iPhones and iPads and I demonstrate those. Its quicker and easier on the Androids because they have real USB ports, but it can be done on the apple devices by WiFi. Just read below.
Lexar JumpDrive S75 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive (White) $66.00 *NEW*
I like BIG flash drives. At this link, you can get any size drive you need, 16, 32, 64 or 128 gigs, and they start out at about $11 but I like all of my TV and movies on one drive, and I like them in HD for my tablet, so that takes up a lot of space so I spent the $66 and got the 256 gig drive. Its formatted as FAT32 and I plugged it into the OTG adapters and the HOOTOO and it read it just fine. Also, this is a USB 3.0 device, so if you have USB 3.0 on your computer, it will read and write to this SO DARN FAST. If you are only on USB 2.0, that will work just fine as well, but 3.0 is so incredibly fast.
Joyshare Micro USB OTG to USB Adapter - Micro USB Male OTG to USB Female Adapter - USB On The Go Adapter $5.99 *NEW*
This is the OTG (On The Go) adapter that I use the most on my android phone or tablet. This does NOT work with Apple, for that you need the HOOTOO device below. With this device I can connect a FAT32 formatted memory stick or SD Cart with USB reader into my phone or tablet and it will read the flash drive as a logical drive and you can access the video or audio or PDF files on the flash drive and read or watch or listen to them just as if they were on your android device. Your android might only have 16 gigs of internal memory and you might have a 64 gig microSD card in it as well but this lets you put 256 gigs at a time (or any size smaller) on to the android. Since I can have multiple flash drivves, it really gives me no limit on the amount of extra video and audio I can carry with me for the android device when I travel. I watch TV shows and such on my android when I'm in airports waiting or on the flight. This adapter generally works EVEN IF you have a CASE on your cell phone or tablet. It does on mine.
Micro USB OTG Adapter, LDesign� [4-in-1] Micro-USB OTG/TF/SD Smart Card Reader Adapter with Micro-USB Charging Port for Android/Smartphone/Tablet $12.99 *NEW*
This is the OTG adapter that does EVERYTHING. Its actually smaller than it appears. It will take a standard SD memory card, a microSD memory card, any flash drive just like the adapter above does PLUS you can have any of these memory devices plugged in and there is still a port for you to plug in external power. With the adapter above when its plugged in, its blocking the port from taking any external power, this one lets you charge and watch video from the memory device at the same time. This one does NOT fit very well into the port if you have a protective case around your phone or tablet. It likes a naked tablet or phone a lot better because it is wider.
Skullcandy Smokin' Buds 2 Earbuds with Mic Hot Blue/Hot Lime, One Size $19.99 *NEW*
In the video I told you I'd give you a link to my favorite ear buds and this is them. The Skull Candy ones. Also off the shelf of walmart and walgreens. They give you excellent audio and they even have a microphone on them so you can use them for phone calls as well as listening to music or video. These work especially good on an airplane where there is a high ambient noise level from the engines. Sometimes over the ear head phones will not be loud enough for me to hear what I'm watching, but with the in the ear buds I can hear everything just perfect. They take up almost zero space in your travel kit and they work great. I've been using Skull Candy for years.
HooToo Wireless Hard Drive Companion, Wireless Router, 6000mAh External Battery Pack Dual USB Charger - TripMate Elite Black $21.00 *NEW*
This is the device I demonstrated in the Cell Phone Video. There are newer versions that I will include below. This device allows me to plug a FAT32 formatted flash drive into it ( I did 256 gigs on the video ) and then for me to be able to access the flash drive via WiFi just as if it was connected to my phone. Its IMPOSSIBLE to connect a USB Flash Drive to an iphone or iPad because they DO NOT have USB ports. So you are stuck with having to access the flash drive via WiFi from your apple device. This unit has its OWN internal rechargable battery so it will stay alive for a long time while you are connected to it. When you are connected to this by WiFi you cannot be connected by WiFi to anything else, but if you are watching a video then you really don't need to be connected by WiFi to anything else.
HooToo Wireless Travel Router, USB Port, High Performance, 10400mAh External Battery Pack Travel Charger - TripMate Titan (Not a Hotspot) $39.99 *NEW*
This is the latest and greatest version of the HooToo unit above. Get this one if you can. If you are on a budget and the one above is still available, then get it. This one allows you to plug in multiple USB Flash Drives and access them all at the same time. The unit above is only one flash drive at a time, which is fine for me.
HEADLAMPS. AA AND AAA.
I cover these in more detail in the Bug Out Bag Video (http://www.BugOUT1234.com) but I do show myself using a head lamp in the Cell Phone Video so I figure I should put at least 2 very good headlamps up here for you.
Energizer Vision HD+ LED Headlamp (Batteries Included) $18.98 *NEW*
THE FLASHLIGHT FOR YOUR KIDS !!
Most of you know I'm not a big fan of energizer, but they have it 100% Correct in this 7 LED headlamp. Its has red LEDs and lots of bright white LEDs for near and far, it has 4 different modes it switches between. It has low light mode for long battery life and it has a LIGHT 'EM UP mode for plenty of light NOW. Its made for contractors so its durable as heck and can take a beating. Its water resistant so you can wear it in the rain, but no go swimming with it. It does run on 3 AAA batteries. I wish it was AA's, but its does not. So make sure you get some of the Eneloop AAA rechargeable batteries as shown in the video. This is an excellent "Small Light" and the bright mode is good, but not quite emergency light bright, but close. This is the PERFECT light for your kids. It runs on rechargeable
batteries so they can fall asleep with it on, just charge the batteries the next day in the PowerEx charger. Its very durable, drop proof, water proof, spill proof, easy for little hands to operate, but you might have to open it for them to get to the batteries. its NOT TOO bright so it won't hurt their eyes like many of the extreme flashlights will do today. I believe all kids should have their own flashlight that they play with and use before and during a disaster so they are 100% familiar and comfortable with hit. Make recharging the batteries the kids responsibilities so they have a sense of accomplishment.
This flashlight is for adults or kids and you can even 'dim' the light so its just the right brightness for what you need and thus save the batteries.
Fenix HL23 150 Lumen light weight CREE XP-G2 R5 LED Headlamp (Champagne Gold color) with EdisonBright AA alkaline battery bundle $34.95 *NEW* I keep on telling people that a great deal of the lights are TOO BRIGHT. That you do not need that much light unless you are trying to find a lost child, or trying to find something. This light runs on 1 AA (NiMH, Alkaline or Energizer Lithium) Battery. It has a High Mode (150 Lumens), Medium (50 Lumens) and Low (3 Lumens). On 3 lumens it will run for over 100 hours. This is bright enough for you to find your way around your house, hotel room, any place that you are familiar with. Its also great for reading. So on 1 AA battery you can have 100+ hours of usable light. It will run for 1 to 1.5 hours on High. This light is small, light weight and very reliable. Fenix is known for their quality. I own this, and the version before it. I use it and I travel with it on a regular basis.
BATTERY 'CASES' FOR YOUR CELL PHONE.
In the video I show you how I have a battery case on my wife's cell phone. Its 100% integrated and you can hardly tell there is a battery and a case on the phone. This is VERY nice to have especially when you travel because you don't need to get out an external battery and a cable to charge the phone, its all integrated. The case is NOT as good as an 'otter' or 'ballistic' case but her phone did fall from the top of the tool box in the pickup truck all the way down to the pavement and it took the hit just fine. I ended up replacing the case 3 weeks later but it did its duty.
Maxboost Atomic S External Protective iPhone 5S Battery Case / iPhone 5 Battery Case with Built-in Kickstand - Matte Black / Black (Apple MFI Certified, Fits All Versions of iPhone 5 / 5S - Lightning Connector Output, MicroUSB Input ) [100% Compatible with iPhone 5 / 5S on iOS 7.0+ , Strengthened MicroUSB Input Port, No Signal Reduction] $39.95 *NEW*
**READ ME** I like and use external USB batteries (like the Lime Fuel Battery Below) for charging my cell phone if I forget to charge it, or I am using a lot of power in the day, the reason I like these integrated cases is for traveling because they are wrapped around the phone and you can't loose it, you don't need a cable. They are not much bigger than the phone. External USB batteries are good but this is better especially for travel. I always have a significant amount of battery for my phone or tablet when I fly and travel because if my plane get stuck on the runway I have plenty of battery for reading, watching videos or a movie. However if you are on vacation and take a lot of photos and videos and using data this will be an excellent back up that will last you all day long.
This phone case & battery is for the iphone 5 or 5S ONLY. I got this case for my wife because she NEVER charged her phone at night and was always low on battery. Now she does not have that problem. Its got a 2400mah battery so its about 120% the size of the iphone battery. When your iphone battery gets low, you just press the button on this battery and it starts to charge your phone. When your phone gets over 90-95% you turn off the battery. Plugging in a charger to the battery will charge BOTH the phone and the battery at the same time. The charger is a USB Charger and not your apple charger. So if you are in a foreign country and you loose your charger, this makes it easier to find a replacement. The case protects the phone as well, my wife has dropped it several times and it protects it just great. Its no 'otter box case' but its a good case.
Below I have cases for the iphone 5C, iphone 6, 6 plus and for the Samsung Galaxy S4 and S5.
PowerBear� iPhone 5 / 5S / 5C Battery Case [Stamina Series] - Protective Extended Rechargeable Power Case with Built-in 2.0 PowerBank [Up to 125% More Battery Power] - 4200mAh - Bare Black - LED Indicator Lights - Hands-free Kickstand + FREE Screen Protector $24.95 *NEW*
This phone is exactly like the battery above, but its bigger, its 4200mah. This is for the iphone 5C. I know no one who has an iphone 5C, except I called the people who's question I am answering on TSP on Friday, and some of them have an iphone 5C so I am putting this 5C battery case up here for you.
iPhone 6 Battery Case , Trianium Atomic S iPhone 6 Battery Case (4.7 Inches) - MFI Apple Certified 3100mAh External Rechargeable Portable Charger Protective iPhone 6 Charger Case Fit with Any Version of Apple iPhone 6 4.7" $69.95 *NEW*
This Case is for an iPHONE 6 (not the plus)
A very good friend of mine and his family are right now (April 2015) traveling across Europe and I turned him onto this case for his brand new iphone 6 and he LOVES IT. He's even dropped his phone and the case protected it. This is the same brand as the case that is on my wife's iphone 5S that I have listed above. Since its new and for the iphone 6 its price is a bit higher but how expensive is a dead battery to you?
iPhone 6 Plus Battery Case , Trianium Atomic S iPhone 6 Plus Battery Case (5.5 Inches) MFI Apple Certified 4000mAh Portable Charger $69.95 *NEW*
This case is ONLY for the iphone 6 PLUS. The one for the 6 is 3100mah, this one is even bigger at 4000mah. So its got plenty of power to keep you going on your vacation or if you are stuck on that jet on the runway for 8 hours after a 6 hour flight. Please read the READ ME above regarding why I like these integrated cases ESPECIALLY for traveling ( airlines, foreign travel ).
Hyperion Samsung Galaxy S4 5800mAh Extended Battery + Black Back Cover (Compatible With ALL Samsung Galaxy S4 Models and Carriers, NOT compatible with S4 Zoom, S4 Mini, S4 Active) $24.95 *NEW*
This is the phone I Steven Harris own, a Galaxy S4. Samsung is unique in that the battery can be replaced just by removing the back cover. So what you do is take out your normal size battery from your phone and you put in this much larger 5800maH battery and then they have a new back from the phone for you that takes the larger battery. Plus the these batteries are a lot cheaper than the ones for the iphone's. I am VERY hard on my phones (and watches) and I drop the phone all the time so I have a supreme protection Ballistic Brand case on it. It protects everything. However next time I go traveling I am going to add this battery to my phone so I have the extra power as I'm flying or in the airport. I won't really be dropping the phone in those situation, plus this does have some drop protection on it. This battery is 5800mah, if you want one that is 7800maH then get this one:http://amzn.to/19HGxgz
Anker� 7500mAh Extended Battery Combo for Samsung Galaxy S5 - TPU Back Cover Included $39.95 *NEW*
The battery for the S5 is even bigger than the battery for the S4. 7500mAH is about 3x bigger than the battery that comes with the phone. This concludes my list of integrated batteries for the most popular phones.
SMALL PORTABLE LED LIGHT BULB THAT WORKS ON 120 OR 240 VOLTS.
The light bulb I showed in the video is not available anymore, so I have some 120 volt and 240 volt LED light bulbs being rushed to me right now for evaluation. I want you to have a bulb that works on BOTH 120 volts or 240 volts so if you travel overseas, you can use the bulb as I demonstrate in the video if you need illumination under your own control.
ARO LBH55-8APS LED Light Bulb Omni Directional 60 Watt Replacement 800 Lumen Soft White 2-Pack $13.99 *NEW*
Did you see my free promo video on how to get power any where in the world from ANY light bulb? http://www.CellPhone1234.com So if you do this in the USA, you'll be on 120 volts, if you do this almost anywhere else in the world you'll be on 220/240 volts. The adapter might take up the socket where the light bulb was, or you might want the light down near you on the table. Think of being stuck in a room with just a light bulb in the ceiling, and no outlets, or you don't have any outlet adapters (shame on you). So if you are going to do this and have your own very durable LED light bulb, the light bulb must work on 120 AND 240 volts. Normal USA LED light bulbs plugged into 240 volts will BLOW UP and catch fire. I searched and searched and searched and I found this light bulb. It works on ANY voltage between 100 and 240 volts. Not only does it say this on the box, but in the CELL PHONE VIDEO I plug it into 120 volts and I plug it into 240 volts (on my kitchen table) and I show you that it works.... and I have a big digital volt meter to prove it to you. IF you travel the world, especially the 3rd world, you are going to be a fool if you don't spend the the little bit of money on the cell phone video and watch how I power and illuminate and do everything on 240 volts. How I adapt over the outlet pins, how I convert the voltage from 240 to 120 volts (and many times I don't have to) and how I power my laptop and other devices with a voltage converter (different than an outlet adapter). I explain the differences all in the video. Satisfaction is guaranteed on ALL of our videos. If you don't think its worth every single penny you spent you just email me for a prompt and courteous refund.
THIS IS REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT AND CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE AND YOUR HOUSE.
Kidde 21005779 Pro 210 Fire Extinguisher, ABC, 160CI $39.77 *NEW*
This is NOT on any of my videos, but its very important. Want to have the cheapest fire insurance you can. Buy one of these for each level of your house, even if its kept in a bedroom closet. A fire in your house will take everything. Your photos, memories, tools, comfort, computers, backed up hard drives, your life's work, your library, your pets and maybe even your lives. When that smoke alarm goes off at 3AM you have seconds to hit that fire and to hit it hard before it spreads. Where I use to live, the professional fire department could be at your house in 2 to 5 minutes. Every single time. Where I live now, it can take 5 minutes for 911 to call dispatch, then 10 minutes for the volunteer fire fighter to get to the station, then 5 to 10 minutes for me to reach my house. By that time my house or your house is gone. Buy an additional one and start a box fire someplace safe and have everyone in your house take turns at spraying the fire so they know how to use it and what to expect. This is cheap cheap cheap education and protection.
Fire Gone White/Red Fire Extinguisher - 16 oz., (Pack of 3) $29.92 *NEW*
I have USED THESE. They are AWESOME. That big fire extinguisher can be intimidating, and its makes a huge huge mess. People might be reluctant to use it on a small fire (but they should). These little extinguishers are NOT intimidating and don't make a big mess. EVERYONE knows how to use a spray can. Keep one in the kitchen, keep one in the main living area hidden, but everyone knows where its at. You get a small grease fire, spray it with this. Problem solved. You are having dinner and the cat knocks over a tall candle onto the carpet and the carpet (very flammable) starts on fire. Hit it with this. Small fire, small problem solved before it grows. Buy this 3 pack, put 2 where I just old you, and have everyone take turns spraying the 3rd one outside, maybe on a box you set on fire. I've used these, literally 1 second of spray puts out the small fire. If you can use hornet spray, you can use this. Stay safe my friends.
