No problem. A good external battery is similar to your iPhone's battery andprobably has a lifecycle of at least 500 charges. It should last you severalyears and eventually you probably notice that while you may have been ableto charge your phone twice from 20% to 100% you suddenly only get up to 60%or something like that the second time around.

Sorry, perhaps I haven't explained myself.

I understood the fact that a battery charge would do one or two completecharges of your phone. What I was asking was how many times you can chargethe charger itself, thus giving 1-2 further charges of your phone?

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough <Smiles>

Hi Carol,

You can charge as long as the battery has power and how much that is depends
on the capacity of the battery. A 3,200 MAH battery will charge a 5S
probably close to twice from when you first get the low battery warning at
20%, a 6 maybe not quite twice and a 6 Plus most likely just once and then
maybe a little bit. It really depends on the battery, the phone, when you
start charging and also what you do while it is charging. If, for example,
your phone is at 20% when you plug it in and you then use a GPS app for a
couple of hours while it is charging, the phone will use up a lot more power
and it will charge slower.

Regards,
Sieghard

So, could you just clarify how these work.

Once you've charged up the charger and used it with your phone, how many
more times can you repeat this process?

Maria,

Sieghard has confirmed that the Anker Mini 3200mAh will charge your iPhone
at least one full time. I bought one of these models for a friend and it is
about the size of a lipstick. I have the Anker® Astro E1 5200mAh Ultra
Compact Portable Charger External Battery Power Bank with PowerIQ™
Technology and it is a bit larger at about 3 and a half inches long, and
inch and a half wide, and about a half inch deep. Small enough to be easily
transportable in a purse or small bag.

I like the Anker units because even though they use LED lights to display
how far along they are with charging, they automatically begin charging when
connected to either a wall outlet or your computer's USB port and they
automatically turn off when disconnected. They also automatically turn on
when you connect your iDevice to them to be charged using the supplied micro
USB cable.

Good luck with your shopping.

Alan Lemly

Maria,

Yes, a 3200 MAH battery can easily provide one full charge for an iPhone 6,
probably more like one and a half. The iPhone 6 has an 1,810 MAH battery so
3,200 is plenty.
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Anker products.

Hello list,
I have been following the discussion about external batteries with
interest and I thought to ask you if someone has experience with the
following model:
2nd Gen Astro Mini 3200mAh Portable Charger External Battery Power Bank
with PowerIQ Technology.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords
=[Apple+MFi+Certified]+Anker+2nd+Gen+Astro+Mini+3200mAh+Portable+Charger+Ext
ernal+Battery+Power+Bank+
Please, does anyone know of what size is the battery? It is 3200 mAh
battery, so do you think it would charge Iphone 6, let's say from 3% to
100% just once?
I currently have New Trent iCurve IMP70D 7000mAh External Battery Pack.
I am not sure if this model works with Iphone 6, I have not tried it
yet. I have bought it when I had Iphone 4. The capacity is great, but as
for size, it is not confortable for me to carry it in purse when I
travel, so I need something small in size, but big in capacity.
Thank you for your help in advance.
With kind regards
Maria
