The link is to my Yesterday’s Weather time-lapse weather video feed.One of the things I carry with me in my bag is an extended life battery. I have three in my bag currently. One is small (easily fits in a shirt pocket during meetings) the other is a little bigger, but it is also solar powered. That means I can change it, and my phone while I am outside. Over the years I’ve tried several extended batteries, I’ve settled on the two I have. Based on that, I thought I would share my long used system for picking batteries. Please, note, not everyone needs an extended life battery.
1. Does the extended lie battery get hot? Hot means it ultimately can’t be in a pocket!
2. Can it change more than one thing at a time?
3. Will, it changes my phone to 100% at least once.
It is a simple system, but it has worked for me. There were many trips to Southeast Asia not having the battery would have been, well bad! I had to arrive with a fairly full phone battery to make sure I had car service, taxi, or ride into the city. Then I needed my pheon so I could download my email and get caught up. Twenty-four hours in a place or 28 hours in an airport makes you disconnected!
The growing potential of wireless charging will reduce the need for batteries over time.
**public service notice**Be wary of “free charging” and “Free internet” services. Make sure you know who put the station where it is. Often that is a trap!

I use a powerbank to charge my phone especially if I have to do it at night. Convenient for me so I need not get up to unplug the phone.
Just a question? Would it be real bad if I leave my phone plugged for several hours AFTER it reach full charging capacity?
It depends on the phone. If, when you leave it charging it is very hot, then yes it is bad to overcharge.
if it doesn’t get very hot, then there is little damage to overcharging other than making the LiOn battery last a bit less.
I always like to have a power backup for my phone, I have one in my home too. We have so many thunder storms here so we need these power backup.
so do we! it is critical. Our power goes out about twice a year.
Carol is right battery free sounds great,
Now that is a wonderful dream, I agree!
My battery lasts only one day. I hope that we will also have some kind of innovation in our country.
The problem right now is heat. The batteries (Li-Ion) tend to produce heat when they are in use.
There is hope with some new tech that is being worked on.
That sounds great, we may invent technology in the future is becoming eco friendly and good for our planet…solar power is great
I think you’ve hit the balance Pam. Eco friendly but better!
It seems like someone here is always looking for a battery.
I realized I hadn’t talked about the battery in my bag. I was charging it yesterday!
My phone’s battery lasts two or three days. I need to charge my battery for the camera. Every time I go to the movie I’m left without a battery. I love the photo.
I think I have two batteries for each camera because of that issue!
The picture is wonderful, dear friend …. here also sell some chargers of electricity … I did not read the sploh because I do not care … if I do not paint a lot of my battery lasts 3 days, this is completely enough for me
If we are out on the boat, my battery lasts less than a 1/2 day. But that is because the cell signal gets weaker and that drains the battery. I can normally make it a full day now!
Now I understand … but you can not fill it on a ship … just like in a car?
I can but the phone is connected to the boat, and I always forget to plug it in!
but this is another problem … over the years this has happened all over again to forget something
yes, i have 4 jobs to do when starting the boat. the 5th is plug in my phone
Being battery-free one day sounds great. Love the photo.
I was digging around in my Chicago photos, Thomas inspired me!
I agree the reality of wireless power is interesting. Wireless charging (you don’t have to plug the phone is) is here.
But freely flowing power, that would be so cool!!!!
