Mary, I have no idea about the quality of this item but I found it on Amazon after doing a Google search:
EasyAcc° iChoc 5000mAh External Battery Pack Ultra Slim Power Bank with Built-in Lightning Cable Flashlight Portable Charger for iPhone - Matte Black. Sale:$23.99. Here's the Amazon link followed by its description: http://www.amazon.com/EasyAcc%C2%B0-External-Lightning-Flashlight-Portable/d p/B00MWRNMEK Convenient - Built-in Apple 8-pin Lightning connector allows you to charge your iPhone with Lightning dock whenever you need it. Never worry about not having any suitable cables around again. Powerful - 5000 mAh capacity can fully charge an iPhone 6 twice, while the dual output can charge two smartphones (iPhone + Android phone) at full speed simultaneously. Super thin - A thickness of only 0.43 inches makes the iChoc one of the thinnest powerbanks in the world, letting you talk on your phone while charging it by holding both up to your ear. Versatile - Includes a flashlight for convenience in the dark. Fast - Charges quickly with a max input of 2A, saving up to half the charging time when compared to powerbanks with 1A input. Personally, I'd still recommend getting a 4 inch lightning cable like the following: AmazonBasics Apple Certified Lightning to USB Cable - 4-Inches (10 Centimeters) - Black by AmazonBasics. List Price: $12.99. Price: $7.49. Here's its link: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Apple-Certified-Lightning-Cable/dp/B00NH1 38F8/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1442107072&sr=1-1&keywords=lightni ng+cable+short Here's a TinyURL link to the cable: http://tinyurl.com/osw3ou4 You could simply leave the 4 inch cable plugged into whatever external battery you decided to purchase. And speaking of such, I would recommend this model by Anker which I've been very pleased with: Anker Astro E1 5200mAh Ultra Compact Portable Charger External Battery Power Bank with PowerIQ Technology for iPhone 6 Plus 5S 5C 5 4S, iPad Mini, Samsung Galaxy S6 S5 S4 Note, Nexus, HTC, Motorola, Nokia, PS Vita, Gopro, more Phones and Tablets (Black) by Anker. Price: $49.99. Sale: $15.99. So for an investment of $23.48, you'd have a very good Anker 5200 mAh external battery and a 4 inch lightning cable as well as the micro USB cable which comes with the Anker battery. Here's the Amazon link to the Anker battery: http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Portable-External-Technology-Motorola/dp/B00P7N0 320/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1442107229&sr=1-1&keywords=anker+ba ttery+5200+mAh Here's a TinyURL to the Anker battery: http://tinyurl.com/ol4neah Happy shopping and good luck with your decision.

I would like to find one that has a lightning connector built directly into the battery pack. I used to have one like that for the old 30 pin connectors. It was a cheap piece of junk of course, and I paid the appropriate price. I'm looking for something that would be better quality of course, but, I have never seen anything like that on say, Amazon. With my for ass and my 5S I have used battery cases. But they are quite expensive I think, and what I would like to find is a battery pack that I can attach when necessary, and detach when not needed. And I don't want to monkey with a cable. If you're out and about and you need to attach a battery, you don't need a cable. You just need the battery connected to the phone via the connector. Does such exist? >> Mary >> >> Sent from my iPhone >> >> -- >> The following information is important for all members of the VIPhone list. >> >> If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself. >> >> Your VIPhone list owner is Cara Quinn - you can reach Cara at [email protected] >> >> The archives for this list can be searched at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/. >> --- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VIPhone" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [email protected]. >> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >> Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone. >> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > > -- > The following information is important for all members of the VIPhone list. > > If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself. > > Your VIPhone list owner is Cara Quinn - you can reach Cara at [email protected] > > The archives for this list can be searched at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/. > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VIPhone" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/viphone. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- The following information is important for all members of the VIPhone list.
