jemwhitehead Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 My phone battery has a very poor life span, 2 days at the most Does anyone know how i can charge my phone around the site without getting a locker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomK Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 You could invest in a solar charger. I bought a little adapter that takes 1 AA battery, and charges phones/ipods, etc. about £2 on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropkick Murphy Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 You can get spare batteries off eBay for a couple of quid. Buy 2 of them and you'll be fine. If you order today you should have them in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar1 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I got a solar charger off ebay and it's hopeless, transfers charge for about 20 mins for each few hours of sunshine. The spare battery is the way to go (or turn your phone off for a few hours each day and at nigh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropkick Murphy Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I'm guessing for a £2/3 they're not genuine. However, mine are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave The Hedgehog Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 M&S do a nifty device that's basically just a portable charger that you shove batteries into it. I got one - not for my phone but for my MP3 player which charges on USB, and from 0% battery to 100% battery it took 10 minutes with lithium energizers. It's brilliant! Energizer do portable ones that are mobile specific too so it might be wise to just go on eBay and type in 'energizer samsung phone charger' or something (obviously change the name of the phone to whatever yours is). They're pretty good if you get the right ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riizch Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 There is a charge point in the arena where you pay so much for a 2 hour charge. I don't know how much it is exactly because I've never used it. Be prepared for queues if you do that though. People seemed to be waiting for over an hour last year. Also, they didn't have the facility to charge iPhones last year, so that could be a problem. Depending on what phone you have, spare batteries from eBay are probably the way to go.

riizch Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 For that do you have to bring the phone charger? And i've looked on ebay, the only batteries they have for my phone cost £8 and will be shipped from hong kong so won't get here in time! looks like i might have to just use my phone very sparingly.

soundrevolution Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Nope, they provided the chargers, hence the reason iPhone charging wasn't available. Might be best to take yours along just in case though. Like I said, I never actually used the facility...I just saw it. It was located in the stalls near the arena entrance, just across from the alternative stage last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachface Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 This. There's various phone charging points across the site (Leeds). There's at least one towards the bottom of Orange Hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
