[Q] Extended battery case or backup battery - X 2014 Accessories

Hi my moto x 2014 does not last more than 12-13 hours is there a battery case or a extended battery that I could buy.. I see a mugen power for 2013 moto x but could not find anything for 2014 model please help.

Give it time for a battery case. I have my 10000mah battery pack with me most of the time just in case. That thing would charge my note 3 three times before I'd have to charge it. Haven't given the moto a test with it.

I have a moto 3000 pack when i need a blip of extra juice. Works great.

I keep one of these on me at all times. Charges my phone as fast as a wall adapter.

Just bought a xiaomi power bank 10400mah : beautiful, wonderful, it just work as it should and all this for only 15€ when other companies try to sell the same between 30 and 40€.

+1 for the xiaomi power bank, best balance between power and price

Look up power case on Amazon I bought one but haven't had much use to it yet since I just got my phone but it's something

mugen case with SD slot
Just saw a mugen case today, haven't ordered it yet since I have one but might check it out next paycheck also it has asd card reader

I found this one. I'm thinking between this one and a motorola battery pack.

I have an Anker battery pack with smart charging and it charges the Moto X as fast if not faster than the wall charger that came with it. Plus I get 4 charges to one full charge on the Anker.

I love my power pack mini. It's not a lot of juice but it's on my keyring, which means I have it literally 100% of the time. It has two features that are kind of money in the bank. The first is pass through charging so I can set up both my phone and pack at night and everyone is at 100% the next day. The second is that it uses motorola connect to be a smart unlock & find my phone device.
So - all that makes it pretty awesome. A tile (which does smart unlocking is $25), and this is slightly larger and comes with 1500mah. It reliably gets me from 30% to 70%.
I'm really happy with it.

[Q] External Battery

http://tinyurl.com/2wmzn39
I would like to find out how long would this pack last with eneloop battery's.
anyone have any idea?
also if it would be possible to build or find a external battery that can take 8AA battery's.
Eneloop AAs are rated 2,000 mAh?
my rough guesstimate, you'll get about 4x your normal stock battery life from the pack, after you factor in losses from heat and from converting the pack's juice into your cell battery.
maybe a little more?
whats the total mah for the pack if i put in 2000mah batteries? 10 000mAh?
RAVPower rp-pb03 external battery
I own one before, it is really charge my HTC EVO 4G with bad result. I only use the device once before it basically melted. For reference, I used Sanyo Eneloop batteries in the charger and I used the retractable cable provided with the mini usb adapter. The charger did recharge my batteries, but it got so hot when charging my phone that the outer case warped from overheating. So I ask to replacement, however, the second one I received got the same problem. Also the charging speed is very slow.
I bought another RAVPower rp-pb03 external battery on Amazon one month ago. Since now the battery works very great. I love this device! Not only does it have a very handy flashlight, but it never leaves you guessing how much power is left. It works with my phone, my wife's phone and both of our tablets (all different brands!) The size is nice and compact, and I like the robust weight. It's easy to use, and compatible with everything I've tried! This is by far the BEST accessory I've bought for my electronics by far!

Battery Charger Set

Lots of posts with good spare batteries.
Here's one more to consider that I picked up on ebay for $12!!! It shipped free from China & I had it in 8 days. It's gone up now to $19 but to have an extra is always great for plane travel, etc... The set comes with 3 1600mAh batteries & a wall/usb charger. Charger is pretty nice, has a large LED indicator on the bottom that changes color when charged.

I got the same ones for my HD2. I ended up buying the pack with a charger and 2 batteries twice, I did end up loosing my offical battery one day so I am now running off 4 of these batteries. I haven't had my phone plugged in for ages.
The batteries seem to work just as well as the OEM one. As soon as I get my sensation in the post these will be the first accessory I'll be buying.

Well for the first, people get extra batteries so that when the first one dies(OEM Samsung battery that came with the phone) they can just pop in the new one by anker etc. And keep on chugging without charging. Hope that helps. Also, after so many charges the OEM battery loses some of its MaH amps so people will purchase a cheaper(anker tends to be about 10-20 bucks less) to replace it. Price is always a deciding factor to most consumers, especially phone owners.

I get extras because I hate charging my phone. When one dies I pop in a fresh one and go. I am getting two ankers Monday so ill have three batteries.

From Note 2 experience, Anker OEM replacement battery performed and lasted longer than Samsung battery. Period! Plus, as some others pointed out, you can use external charger to juice it up, and just swap batteries on the go.
For external battery banks, Anker is also the way to go. Go to my Review Link in the signature where I have reviewed and posted detailed write up for close to a dozen of power banks. 6000 mAh is a thing from the past. Right now new power banks have 10,000 to 15,000 mAh of capacity in the same footprint as old one. Plus keep in mind, the actual capacity of external charger will be 30% due to usb port conversion (going from internal cell of power bank 3.8V to 5V usb port, and back to 3.8V on your phone through usb port - close to 30% loss due to efficiency).
Yes that 6000 mah power bank will give you only 1 full charge, and the charging speed is equivalent to USB. If you are doing NAV or some other heavy power draw, the external battery may not keep up.
And if I have to carry a spare, the internal battery is smaller and I know exactly what I am going to get in terms of performance
im finding that the anker 2600 batteries i bought are better than my two samsung batteries. i have two samsung batteries because 1 came with my phone and 1 came with the brand new insurance replacement after i smashed that phone. pretty happy with anker. no need to add bulk to the phone with an extended. just keep a spare battery when needed. i have 1 in my camera bag, 1 in my backpack i take to work, and 1 i can slide into my wallet if it's just me and the phone.
I bought Anker 2600 dual battery and external charger pack. Love it. Been using it and swapping batteries out every morning instead of being tied to a charger. Good for trips where I make heavy use of Cell phone to watch videos and such.
Had one issue. the internal connector that the pins that connect to the battery kinda broke on mine. The piece the pins are attached to fell inside the charger case. No problem though just opened it up and hot glued it back in place. All that keeps it there from the factory is glue and mine just came undone. Happened while traveling with charger in a bag with a battery in it, possible something pushed it hard.
Good to know that 2600 anker is better than actual battery... I was planning to get the 3k zero lemon but every one suggests is not doing much difference

Portable chargers, external battery cases, extended batteries etc etc

Hi all, so I've got an S4 and the battery just doesn't do it for me as I'm quite a power user. So I've been looking into various methods of keeping my phone's battery topped up, especially on the go, I've had a look at portable chargers, external battery cases (as I had one on my S3 and it worked great, for about a week and then gave up) and extended batteries.
Now what I'm looking for is ideally something that isn't too bulky, has decent quality and provides a good solid charge to my phone. I also have a bunch of other phones that I want to keep charged, so an external battery case or extended batteries are looking a little weak here as a portable charger would do the trick for all of them, but then again they often seem to be quite bulky.
So my question to you is what would you advice? Ideally I'd like a solution that fits in the pocket and still keeps my phone topped, what would you recommend and have you bought something to satisfy this need yourself? I'm not really looking into extended batteries that add a whole lot of bulk, I'm hearing good things about Anker batteries and these 3,000mAh Zerolemon standard size batteries, but there seem to be so many variations of portable chargers I'm not quite sure what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have the Zerolemon battery, it works well, but really, I couldn't tell much of a difference in battery life, and keep in mind, NFC is not included if you go with the Zerolemon.
Go to amazon and do a search for "android portable battery charger" there are a lot of options from small lipstick sized charges to big bulky ones, read the reviews and pick one that works best for you. Personally I am usually close to a charger so I have not found the need to get one yet, but I can see how it would be necessary for those that are frequently away from a wall outlet or car for extended periods. I might pick one up before my camping/float trip coming up this summer. If I did, it would probably be this one. http://www.amazon.com/KMAX-806-Flas...8-5&keywords=android+portable+battery+charger
I have an old external charger that came with a 3 panel solar folder. I used it a few times when camping and I could charge it all day and then use it to charge the phone twice. That was with an older 1900mah batter in the phone
Just a quick update, I eventually decided to settle with this EasyAcc iChoc 5,000mAh portable charger. I've had it for a few days now and it works fantastic, the build quality feels nice in the hand and the dimensions are the same as my S4 (and just as slim mind) it comes with two outputs, a 1A and a 2.1A one (using your own microUSB cable) and the 1A output has a built in microUSB cable. Very pleased with the purchase, it was around £17 on Amazon Prime:

Bear in mind I don't think the actual capacity is anywhere near 5,000 mAh however.
Charges S4 about 1.3 times.... So it's about a 3000mAh

Are you referring to the EasyAcc portable battery that I posted?
While I think you have made your choice .... I have used the callpod dou charger.... I had 10 of them until I started giving them away cause they were of no use with the phone I had before I got my S4. I have (5) Isound 16,000's 16,000 mah. That will keep my S4 or my wife's Iphone 5 up for about a day of intermittent use.... she can kill one in about 8hrs if she is on her phone and charging her Ipad at the same time. I also have (3) of the power bank 33,000s . 33,000 mah. I am not sure that I have ever killed this battery with my S4 alone. My wife can kill it with her iphone in 2-3 evenings of fairly constant use.... talking on the phone and playing games and I think charging both her iphone and ipad... (flipping back and forth between the 2. This battery will also charge most laptops. Her Macbook will get one full charge out of it.... if the computer is not on. With the computer on it last about 30-40 mins. My Htc Flyer has been on a 33,000 all week with off and on use and is still half full. Finally , I have a hyperjuice 150wh and a 222wh. The wife has been charging her iphone on the 150 and her ipad on the 222 all week and they are still around half full.
I finally got myself the Anker 5200 mAh battery. Does anyone know an app that shows the correct battery capacity? I got the sneaking suspicion that it isn't detected properly...

Anker Extenteded 13,000 2nd Gen Astro External Battery Review

I am a power user when it comes to my mobile devices! I will eat through the battery of my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in just a few hours. I totally relied previously on extended batteries from Anker for my other (older) phones. But since they (extended batteries) are not out yet, I could not wait. I went to Anker's site because I have always used their products for the last several devices I have owned. And I saw this external battery with 13,000mAh of power... plus the "Power IQ" feature with 3amp output... I did not hesitate to get one.
The thing I always HATED about "extended" batteries for a cell phone is how HUGE and UGLY they make the phone look! Plus the extra weight. This new external 2nd Gen Astro Battery from Anker fits EASILY into my front pants pocket. Its not heavy. It comes with a nice mesh travel bag, that fits 2 of my micro usb cables (see previous review). So whenever I stop somewhere, I can plug my phone in and charge up. Because of the 3amp output, and the "PowerIQ" circuitry, my phone charges fast!!!
The *ONLY* "CON" (negative) thing I can say is that it does not engage the Adaptive Charging feature in the Note 4. But, I still see very fast charging results. When I finish the day, I am still at 100% on my phone... and the Anker 2nd Gen Astro can go for another 2 days keeping me going without having to be recharged. This 13,000mAh battery pack will charge my Note 4's battery fully about 4 times.
One small bonus.. there is a little LED flashlight built in! It helps when looking for things at the bottom of my computer case!
I am glad I got it. I am glad I found a solution without "bloating" my phone.
Shipping was really fast. Service in the past has always been wonderful from Anker. I highly recommend!
