I've never found a charge button, where's that? Beware of non-Apple chargers, we just bought a pretty good look-alike, hwich was cheap and very nasty, it blew and fried the Mini. Tripped the house RCD thing in the power box too, so everything else went off. But the Mini was as dead as it could get and been on to Apple since they are still under warrantee. Worth being economic with details, doubt they'd be happy to know you fried it with a foreigner so to speak.

The battery chargers take a USB cable which is supplied with iPhone. It won't matter if you have the 32 pin connector or the lightening connector. They both end in a USB plug. Plug it into the USB charger, hit the charge button and your in business. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Bundy" <kb5...@gmail.com> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Friday, April 12, 2013 8:08 PM Subject: Re: a battery saver, but effective? Thanks for the very good post, Alan. Does anyone know what chargth would be best for the iphone 5? Given the new lightningpcable, I am assuming it would be different from this one. Another question. If one uses the lightning cable, will a charger for the iphone 4 work with the irhone 5?
