[pct-l] Charger

[River Malcolm]

Hi John 

I was fascinated by your 5000mA 1oz charger find...but when I read the reviews, one reviewer described it as 4.2oz.  That's more in line with what I would expect, alas. 

I use an Anker 16000mA and can usually recharge my iPhone 5 for a week (using it for photos, gps, and sometimes to upload blogs with photos). 10.4 oz (considering it has >3x charging capacity of the 4.2oz, 5000mA charger, it is a good power to weight ratio. Though of course I wish it were lighter. And I too would like to hear about lighter weight chargers. )

Been happy with that.

In looking for ?battery cases? to attach to my iPhone 6S, I came across this external battery pack (not a battery case), which weighs only 1 oz. It has a 5000 mAh capacity, but it only weighs AN OUNCE. 

Rather than get a 1800-3000 mAh battery case that weights 3-4 oz, I think I?m going get this 1 oz battery pack, and a separate protective case (or just use an Aloksak). 

I haven?t found anything even close to being this small/lightweight, so thought I?d pass it along. If anybody has found anything lighter or more efficient, please let us know!
