I have the Anker Astro E1 5200mAh Ultra and like many of the smaller Anker external batteries, this one uses a series of four blue LED lights to indicate its charging status. Although this approach is not at all accessible, all you have to do is find out the charging time for a full cycle and keep track of how long you've had the external battery plugged in. It will charge faster when connected to an adapter plugged into a wall outlet as opposed to a computer's USB port. The nice thing about these Anker models is that when they are fully charged, they will automatically shut down. They also automatically turn on when your device is connected to them for charging.

It wasn't sufficient for me when doing a lot of international travel, so I got a 20000 MHA Anker battery pack. That has an LCD displaying the percentage of charge. TapTapSee reads it for me every time.

How do you all know if your battery pack has enough juice in it or is done charging? I got one on a whim and, while I can just see the little lights that indicate the power level in the pack, I'm guessing I'll need a different battery pack when I eventually upgrade my phone and wonder how you handle this. It was totally by fluke that mine has really bright little lights that I can get into my tunnel vision, but if the lights were red or some other kind of indicator, I don't think I could figure it out. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
