I have ordered a 13000MAH PowerBank from one of my online stores. I didn't ask Sam all the questions that have been suggested, so I hope that it will keep my iPhone battery charged for much longer than at present. I am not a big iPhone user and, really, use it for not much else than playing Word Ladder, but I find that it can drop from 100% charge to 60 in about 3 hours. When I am away from a wall socket, should I plug the phone into the PowerBank from the beginning, or leave it until the phone battery has dropped to half charge?

It has long been discontinued. It only held a couple of charges of an iPhone 4. I have a Mophi block that holds eight iPhone charges. Others prefer a case with an extra charge. Even if the talking unit were still available, I would rather have a unit that could do eight charges so I could go on a weekend trip without worrying about iPhone battery life or where to plug it in. With so many charges, it would be unlikely that I would use them all up and therefore do not need to know exactly when my juice pack is low. I just charge both the iPhone and the jice juice pack at the same time.
