I use a proporta 7000ma battery pack that has 2.1 amp ipad output and a 1 amp output so I can charger / topup 2 devices at the same time and after trials of various leads (testing with volt / amp meter)  have selected the griffin short triple pack usb a  to micro, mini and 30pin leads as they cannot get tangled (give higest charge current per device) and have added the apple micro to lightning adaptor.

This combination allows me to charge all my devices away from the mains.

There's a TeckNet one on Amazon for £17, but I don't know how good it is. It has 588 five star reviews though. slight_smile

I to use the Proporta 7000ma, I'm another one that got it on the half price offer from the manufacturer last year.

 

I usually charge it up via Sony Ericsson usb mains charger.

 

I'm not a fan of the different plug in attachments for the supplied cables so I just got another genuine SE cable to use instead.
