Oops, sorry, I could have sworn I heard "Appalachians" and not "Himalayas" even though both with Voiceover and Jaws it doesn't really sound that close. Yes, you definitely want the 24,000 MAH version if you plan to use GPS a lot. Of course if you don't have any mobile connection otherwise you can turn off things like WiFi, Bluetooth and even cellular data. Unfortunately turning on Airplane mode also disables the GPS so that's not an option.

Hi Sieghard, I am in India and will be going to the Himalayas. I agree about the Limefuel and thanks for the tip about there being a 24000 MAH version.

Hi Pranav, I would definitely go with the Limefuel, it has a higher capacity and 4.6 out of 5 on Amazon which is excellent. The other pack you mentioned is only 11,500 MAH. Of course it depends on how many days you will be gone, will you be camping and hiking for several days without any access to power? The Limefuel batteries come in various capacities and they even make one larger now at 24,000 MAH. By the way, the highest peak in the Appalachians is Mount Mitchel at 6,684 feet or 2,037 metres. Not sure where you get the 12,500 feet of elevation you mentioned, these sort of elevations you will only find in the Rockies.

Hi all, I am looking at trekking in the Himalayas and was thinking of taking my iPhone along. I plan to go up till 12500 feet above mean sea level. What battery pack should I take? I need something that has high capacity. I searched and found the Intocircuit Power Castle at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BB5GR0A?tag=thewire06-20&linkCode=as2&cr eative=374929&camp=211189 According to http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-usb-battery-pack-travel/ this is the best battery pack of the ones they had tested. Of course, one can never be sure of these things. Then there is the 18000 MAH battery pack at http://www.amazon.com/External-Battery-Pack-Limefuel-L180X/dp/B00C78YJQY It has a flashlight though. Anyone any thoughts? Pranav -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.
