iPhone Juice pack

[Turtlesboat]

When I'm using my iPhone on the boat, the one thing that bugs me is that it rips through the battery, especially when I've got a navigation app running. Just saw and purchased the mophie juice pack air (whatever the air thing means). it's basically a sleeve that the phone fits into. it's supposed to hold 2 times the battery power that the iphone has so if you've got a full iphone charge and a full mophie charge, you've got 3 times the life. We'll see.

here's a pic. it about doubles the thickness of the iphone.

What kind of battery life did you get normally?

it varies widely. If i'm using it like a phone and emailing etc... i get about 8-10 hours from the battery. If i'm playing a game or watching a movie, it drops to about 4 hours. If i'm running a navigation app with GPS and 3G network going, I get about 3 hours.

I don't have and never will have one but that is a pretty slick idea they should do that for others phones (or maybe they do)

Watching a movie on an Iphone? No wonder you were amazed when your Glomax antenna and TV's started working. :grin:

I've got the original juice pack....its pretty chunky but keeps me mobile when the battery gets low. It will charge the phone battery 2x on a single charge of the juice pack.
