hi guys

I have an issue.

I have been having iPhones since the iPhone 5. And now im onto 6. The problem I have is with charging. I now work full time and am rarely at home or around a socket.

Hence my issue, the need for external battery packs. I have been through so many and it was never the packs which was the issue. It was the lightning cable/s. I charge with the battery pack in 1 pocket and the phone in the other, as you can probably imagine, this must put some pressure on the cable since it is being pulled.

I have no other way of charging my phone. I just bought a batter case last week but I am feeling the lower capacity compared to the 9000 Mah or so former battery this is about 3500Mah. I can barely charge my phone once.

I have had replacement after replacement of apple cables. I have tried a Belkin braided cable which lasted about 3 months before tearing at the seam. I have had Just Mobile Alucable, which is a flat cable and covered in aluminium at the ends. The first one lasted 3 months or so, and the replacement (after useless customer service from Just waiting 4 or so months for them to arrange an replacement) lasted about 3 weeks.

Now I look after the phone battery. I have everything turned off which could be draining the battery. And I use Battery Doctor app, which recomends letting the phone run to 20% and then charging it with the app. And letting it run down once a month. I have in the past been able to make my phone last 3-4 days and still have 20%. Now I have a Pebble Smartwatch and also stream quite a bit of music with my Spotify subscription, which you can imagine drains the battery quite a bit

As you can see. I have spent alot on accesories just to charge my phone. I cant really afford to buy any more. Is there another solution to charging my phone when I am out and about? Or maybe I will have to try and get a refund of battery case and but a higher capacity one.

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards
