AA Battery charger for Iphone 4?

[davidnssbm]

I'm going camping for a long time and want to use my Iphone 4 as a camera but I'm worried not even airplane mode w/ lowered brightness will cut it.

Does this type of device exist?

 

[-aggie-]

what’s a long time? I can have my 3G in standby for over 15 days in airplane mode. If you just use it to take pics and then lock it afterwards, I don’t see why you wouldn’t make it for a couple of weeks.

 

[davidnssbm]

really? I didn't know airplane mode was such a battery saver. Anyone else have similar experience?

I don't have a link but they do exist. The one I saw was in an Altoids can so that may help you search for it. I remember the main part of the story was reverse engineering Apples' implementation of full vs trickle charge and avoiding an "accessory not compatible" message.

You won't have any power source at all?

Edit: 2.5 seconds on Google turns up many options.

Now I'm thinking about getting one.
Here's just one: http://www.buy.com/prod/apple-ipod-...er/q/sellerid/18118498/loc/111/211421329.html

$5.18 + shipping.
Takes AA-batteries. Use your own usb-charger with this and you'll be good to go.

Then:

• add a "4" to the end of the Google search
• understand that your iPhone 4's cable works with any USB power source (5V - like the one in the Dealtime link)

 

[davidnssbm]

C'mon, you think I don't know how to internet?

I'm asking you Pros because every freaking charge product out there is obsolete with each new iphone. I have so many car chargers that I am pissed to find "not compatible" with my phone.

Thought ya'll could help. Adding just a 4 to the end of the search doesn't really help. It's just tagging "4 AA batteries"

It will drain your ipone4 battery quickly even you set your iphone in airplane mode. Why not take a iphone solar charger as your backup battery and it can charge your iphone battery at any places in any time.

Here are some of my suggestions for bringing on a camping trip:

Here is a very nice solar battery pack from Thinkgeek

Or how about a battery pack that you charge by cranking it?
