AA Battery Pack (3g)

[Uncle Humjaba]

Hey all,

So I use a couple of rechargeable Ni-MH batteries for my digital camera, and each battery is rated at 2500mAh. Or double what the iPhone 3G ships with. I want to know if anyone has used any AA battery pack products from anyone, and if so what their impressions are?

There is a shop on Amazon that sells the Energizer Energi for $10 shipped. This has a slot for 2AA batteries (or 5000mAh).

I got this iphone this weekend (gift from my uncle who just upgraded to the 3gs) and the battery life, after being jailbroken, is abysmal (7% left after maybe 10 hours off the charger, most of which it spent in my pocket), so a way to extend battery life would be awesome.

I wouldn't recommend that charger. Here's my post from another thread:

It was $8 on woot. I got it and plugged it in my phone and it started charging, so I put it in my car for emergencies. Last week I went camping and my phone died, so I plugged it in and it charged to 30% before saying "this device doesn't work" blah blah. So I wore my phone down to dead again, and plugged it back in. This time it charged it to 5% before saying it wont charge anymore. I think this happened another time. So yes, it worked and was dirt cheap, but it isn't flawless.

I have had a Filo P3 for months, and it works great through its built in USB port. 2400 mAh NiMH AA batteries charge my iPhone 3G about 1 1/2 times. Haven't tried to use it as a AA battery charger yet, since I have a couple good smart chargers, but I'm sure it'll do in a pinch. Plus, why would you want a portable battery pack that only powers one device?

Dude, you bumped EXACTLY 48 hours after the OP. That is amazing. 8:44PM.
