Hi, a good rule of thumb with many of these is to charge it over night
and you will be good for the next time you want to use it. Consider that
an iPhone battery is around 1500 mah, an iPad mini battery around 6000
mah, and I think an iPad air around 7000 mah, although someone will
correct me if I'm wrong. Or you can find the actual specs on Apple's web
site. Based on these figures, if you have a 6000 mah battery bank, you
can charge your phone at least 3 times, maybe a 4th, and an iPad around
once. Also remember that an iPad uses battery differently than an
iPhone. For example, my ipad mini is mainly used for book reading, music
listening and podcast listening. I use it for Skype and Facetime as well
while it's on the stand from Anker, just like my portable batteries are
from Anker. In any case, the iPhone because it has the cellular part,
will go through battery faster, plus it doesn't have as much miliamp
hours as an iPad.
Hope this helps.

there was a My Charge battery with speech to let one know its charge

Hi,
I recommend any of the Anker batteries, if you look for "Anker
external battery" on Amazon you find a bunch of them. There are, of
corse, a multitude of other brands, but Anker gets consistently very
high ratings and their batteries cover pretty much the entire
spectrum from small, about lipstick sized batteries which give you
enough juice if you run out to make a couple of calls to large units
which allow you to charge an iPhone 4, 5 or even 6 times.
There are some brands which have hardwired connections like a Micro
USB, Mini USB and maybe a 30-Pin or Lightning connector, but most of
the batteries and I believe all of the Anker models would just have
a USB port so you just use your standard Apple cable which means you
can easily plug it in without removing the phone from the Otterbox case.
Regards,
Sieghard

Hi, all. I have a friend who has an IPhone 5 with an otterbox case.
She's interested in purchasing a back up battery or case with
battery. What would be best for her to get? She doesn't want to
remove her phone from the otterbox. Thanks.
God bless!
