RE: Power Bank Etc. For iPhone and Storms
If possible, purchase 2 power banks and charge both fully. Then, when the first goes dead, plug it in to charge and you still have a fully charged power bank ready to go. Then, just keep alternating the power banks and you will always have plenty of reserve power.

RE: Power Bank Etc. For iPhone and Storms
You must live in a part of the world which may experience serious storms/hurricanes where power outages can last many days. Anker has such a solution as well, 2400 Watts (2048 WH or Watt Hours) with a second battery to double that capacity and an optional 200 Watt capacity solar charging panel: Anker SOLIX F2000 (PowerHouse 767) - 2048Wh | 2400W - Anker Canada And there is another company called Bluetty which does similar stuff. Of course most people don't want to require a backpack to lug around their battery and at least for me I don't need a separate hotspot because I have a lot of data for my iPhone and if I want to use my laptop somewhere I don't have Wi-Fi I can simply use my iPhone as a hotspot. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Kevin Minor Sent: Saturday, November 25, 2023 2:56 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Power Bank Etc.

RE: Power Bank Etc. For iPhone and Storms
And there is also Hyperjuice which can be found a little on Amazon, but it’s primarily via their own store, www.hypershop.com<http://www.hypershop.com> They started out with a campaign on Indigogo for their 245 Watt battery pack and desktop charger, but they have lots of other products now. I have the big battery and it’s super well-made, all metal and with a display (yes, I know, maybe not the best for blind folks), but it has 4 USB-C ports and it’s a very large capacity battery if you are looking for something which lasts for a long time and this can even charge a laptop as it delivers up to 100 Watts on 1 or 2 of the ports. I just ordered their 5000 MAH magnetic charger which is quite small and sticks to the back of the iPhone and which was on sale for $34.99 US, but it does not come with a wall charger. The nice thing is that it supports pass-through charging which means if it is connected to your iPhone and you plug it in to charge, it will first fully charge your iPhone and only then the battery will start to charge. It also has I believe 1 or 2 additional USB-C ports. I ordered it along with a 140 Watt wall charger in a small travel format with foldable prongs, here some links: Hyperjuice Magnetic Batterry Pack<https://www.hypershop.com/products/hyperjuice-magnetic-wireless-battery-pack> There is also a 4-in-1 charger which sounds very interesting as many of the MagSafe chargers are 3-in-1, but this one offers an extra USB-C port to charge an additional device apart from the iPhon/Apple Watch/Airpods magnetic charging options and it does offer the full 15 Watts for the fastest charging of the newer phones: HyperJuice 4-in-1 Wireless Charger With MagSafe<https://www.hypershop.com/products/hyperjuice-4-in-1-wireless-charger-with-magsafe> From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Michael Feir Sent: Saturday, November 25, 2023 12:17 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Power Bank Etc.

Hi, Michael: on Amazon.com, I found a case for the Anker GAN Prime733 that you mentioned, but nothing for the device itself.

Hi Michael, I wouldn't leave your power bank plugged in 24 / 7, it could cause premature failure being that if it loses just a little bit of charge it's constantly recharging.

Re: Power Bank Etc. For iPhone and Storms
Hello Margaret. I've really come to appreciate the Anker GAN Prime 733 which combines a 1 MAH power bank and wall charger in one handy device. I leave it plugged in all of the time so I know it'll be full when I need it. It has folding plug prongs which let you plug it directly into the wall socket or power bar. It has two USB C ports and a USB A port. You'd also need a Lightning to USBC cable which Anker makes. I also have a 2 MAH battery from Energrid. It gives audio beep feedback and vibrates to let you know when something's connected or when it's charging. Between those two batteries, I know I'm covered for a good eight or nine full iPhone charges. That'll see me through around three or four days. More if I'm conservative. If you're worried about longer spans of time, there are much bigger power banks. The two batteries I have are very portable and both will easily fit in a shoulderbag. Besides the USBC to Lightning cable, I would also suggest you get a spare USB C to USB C cable. That may be useful for other accessories like USB headsets, emergency radios or Bluetooth keyboards. You can always charge other power banks while you have electricity using the ports in the 733 charger. Hope that helps a bit. Amazon has a slight discount here in Canada on a number of Anker products. Doubtless, this is true in the US also. There are a very wide range of other bands and you'll hopefully hear from people more experienced with those as well.

Power Bank Etc. For iPhone and Storms
Hi, All: Could someone recommend a power bank or something similar to use with my iPhone SE 2020 (SE 2) for power outages from storms etc.? I am not a techie and sighted assistance is normally not available. So, Be My Eyes etc. would have to be called upon for something visual. I recently heard about some models from Energrid that are supposed to be portable and accessible sold by Atguys, which I've heard about, but have never dealt with. I've heard about Anker products recommended many times on lists and I have an Amazon gift certificate. The iPhone is my only Apple product, but if there is some way I could also connect either my Victor Reader Stream 2 or VRS 3, that would be great. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Margaret -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Re: Power Bank?
same here. Simon - Original Message - From: "lenron brown" To: Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2023 8:27 AM Subject: Re: Power Bank? I would rather have the big battery with a few ports. I have been trying to find something with more than one usb C. On 3/29/23, Sieghard Weitzel wrote: I assume by powerbank you refer to an expernal battery. As Kelly pointed out, you can get something small which will recharge an iPhone fully once or maybe twice if you only charge when you are down to 40%. As to the type it really makes little difference as all external batteries have one or more USB plug and you can plug in your regular Lightning cable and use it on any of your iPhones or you can plug in your Apple Watch charging cable with the round magnetic charger for the watch on the other end. The only difference is that larger capacity batteries usually have more than 1 plug and can charge 2 ore more devices at the same time. Also, if your Apple Watch charger has a USB-C end which means a small plug almost like a Lightning plug, then you may want to look for a power bank which has at least one USB-C plug-in. You can get iPhone Lightning charging cables which also have Usb-C on the other end so ifi you found a battery with just a single USB-C plug in then that would be something you have to get. I have a small Anker battery which is sort of like what Kelly described although I think it is 6000 Mah and definitely a bit fatter, but it's also older so maybe skinner versions are out there now. I also have a rather expensive Hyper Juice battery which I think is 26,000 Mah and it has 4 USB-C plug-ins and it can even charge my Lenovo laptop. But it's not what you would most likely want to carry around on a daily bases, I often use it at home to charge various headsets because for something like that you can literally use it for weeks or months without having to recharge it. I also pack it when my wife and I go to the Philippines where I might be in places where sometimes the power is out or unreliable and where it's nice to have a battery which can recharge both of our phones, Apple Watches and headsets multiple times. Anker is a good brand and they have everything from small 3000 Mah batteries to the large 20,000 or even higher batteries, they are easily available on Amazon and you get a quality item for a reasonable price.

RE: Power Bank?
I assume by powerbank you refer to an expernal battery. As Kelly pointed out, you can get something small which will recharge an iPhone fully once or maybe twice if you only charge when you are down to 40%. As to the type it really makes little difference as all external batteries have one or more USB plug and you can plug in your regular Lightning cable and use it on any of your iPhones or you can plug in your Apple Watch charging cable with the round magnetic charger for the watch on the other end. The only difference is that larger capacity batteries usually have more than 1 plug and can charge 2 ore more devices at the same time. Also, if your Apple Watch charger has a USB-C end which means a small plug almost like a Lightning plug, then you may want to look for a power bank which has at least one USB-C plug-in. You can get iPhone Lightning charging cables which also have Usb-C on the other end so ifi you found a battery with just a single USB-C plug in then that would be something you have to get. I have a small Anker battery which is sort of like what Kelly described although I think it is 6000 Mah and definitely a bit fatter, but it's also older so maybe skinner versions are out there now. I also have a rather expensive Hyper Juice battery which I think is 26,000 Mah and it has 4 USB-C plug-ins and it can even charge my Lenovo laptop. But it's not what you would most likely want to carry around on a daily bases, I often use it at home to charge various headsets because for something like that you can literally use it for weeks or months without having to recharge it. I also pack it when my wife and I go to the Philippines where I might be in places where sometimes the power is out or unreliable and where it's nice to have a battery which can recharge both of our phones, Apple Watches and headsets multiple times. Anker is a good brand and they have everything from small 3000 Mah batteries to the large 20,000 or even higher batteries, they are easily available on Amazon and you get a quality item for a reasonable price.

Re: Power Bank?
Someone can walk around with thick heavy bricks delivering days of battery power. These big heavy bricks are unnecessary for iPhone users. As blind people, we would rather walk around with a pocket battery charger that can fully recharge an iPhone once or twice. The 5,000 mA battery chargers are lightweight and fit into a man’s pant’s pocket. They are the size of two lighters or a thick tube of lipstick. My favorite is the Slim 2 charger. It was only $12 US and came with a charger and carrying case to fit the battery, wall charger, an connecting cable. It carries enough juice to charge a regular iPhone twice. If you go with a bigger battery bank, you will need to carry it around in a bag or backpack.

RE: Need recommendation for power Bank for Apple Watch Series 8
Hi Sherrie. I've never heard it called a power bank, but I think all it is is a large capacity battery that you plug cables into to charge what you want. You can also charge several things at once. If I'm right, your power bank uses large USB connectors to charge things. If I'm right on this, there's a cheaper way to get power to your watch charger. The watch chargers that I have use USB-Cconnectors, whereas your power bank uses USB A adaptors. Something that works for my situation is a female USB C to female USB A adaptor. It's very small, not connecting the adaptors with a cable. All you do is plug the small plug of the charger into it, then plug the large end into the power bank. Works like a charm, and I think Amazon sells a set of four for $4. Work not only in a power bank, but also works to get USB-C in things that use USB-A, such as old chargers. Hope this helps.

Re: Power Bank recommendation for iPhone?
I do not like carrying around heavy bricks when I do not need to. I have bought a pocket sized charger that can charge an iPhone at least once and possibly twice. It is the Poweradd Slim 2 Mobile Power Bank Charger that has a capacity of 5000mAh. I bought one for $11. Surprisingly, the USB-a to lightning cable that I keep with the charger cost more. The charger comes with a carrying case and the charging cables fit the case as well as the charger. With my tactical pants with many pockets, it is a necessary addition to my mobile digital lifestyle.

RE: Power Bank recommendation for iPhone?
You can use Be My Eyes or Aira to ask what the LED lights indicate or if you don't want to do that just charge them whenever or after you used it. They all use Lithium batteries so charging them when they are only 20% depleted or 80% depleted makes no difference and even if your battery is still 80% full and you charge it overnight it's not going to hurt it. You also develop a sense of how often you can charge your iPhone with whatever battery you buy and most manufacturers also tell you how often you can charge whatever model of phone you have. If you buy a 5000 MAH battery and you use it when your iPhone is at around 30% or even 20% you can most likely charge most iPhones twice before the battery is empty. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Dennis Long Sent: December 4, 2021 2:06 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Power Bank recommendation for iPhone?

Re: Power Bank recommendation for iPhone?
Other than an app like Be My Eyes, FaceTime or Aira, there's no way to tell how charged most power banks are. You basically need sighted assistance. The one accessible power bank I've got is from a company called Energrid and I can't find it for sale anywhere these days. I've never been able to use light detecting apps to distinguish the different lights on power banks to indicate their charge. They're just too small. Because of this, good charging habits are an absolute must. Plug any power bank in at least once per week to keep it ready. Also, be certain to purchase a power bank with a good amount of extra capacity. You can get 1 MA capacity power banks which are small, inexpensive and durable. It's possible to carry those in a pocket if necessary. That's enough power to charge an iPhone at least twice fully. You can also use them to keep accessories like Bluetooth keyboards charged up. If you're carrying a bag with accessories such as a keyboard, you can get power banks with capacities like 26000 MA which can easily fit in the bag. They'll add some weight but are worth it for when you're away from power sources for days at a time. I hope somebody creates an accessible power bank perhaps like the one I have which vibrates or beeps to indicate the charge level. I also appreciate that it doesn't have a flashlight. For most power banks, it's advisable to use a light detecting app to check to make certain the built in flashlight is turned off. I've had incidents when I was unaware that the flashlight was on and uselessly shining in my pack draning the battery for days with me none the wiser. Hope this helps people out.

Re: Accessible Portable Power Bank
I guess my power bank's an antique! Four years ago, The Harbolt Company briefly carried a power bank that beeped or vibrated to indicate battery levels. I got one of them, and it still works. Unfortunately, the company that made them wanted too much money. So Brent Harbold was forced to discontinue carrying them. To my knowledge, no other such accessible "juicebox" has ever been made. I guess that when I no longer have this one, I'll have to rely on sighted help or just guess when it's time to charge the box. Peace & Blessings, Pastor Duane L.

RE: Accessible Portable Power Bank
I know there used to be one, I think it was called Summit or something, which could speak how much charge was left, but for thew most part there isn't much to be accessible on an external battery apart from that. I really don't worry too much about it, if I use it to charge my phone a couple of times I plug it in and charge it and I guess you could always call Aira or Be My Eyes to get them to check how many LED's are on or, if it's a fancier model with an LCD screen to read that; Seeing AI may even be able to help there if it can scan what's on the screen. Anyways, most models just have 3 or 4 LED's which indicate how much charge is left.

MamaPeach, It is a strange phenomenon that when a person asks for information on a topic, some people feel the need to express an opinion about whether that person should buy this or that, or do this or that, when the question was for information not opinions. I generally ignore those posts because they are off topic and completely irrelevant. You never have to explain to anyone why you want information.

I thought maybe someone could give suggestions. Something that might have audible beeps or at least vibrate.
