    Hi all, my friend is always running out of battery life on her phone. Would you recommend buying an extra battery or getting one of those mini chargers?

    Thanks

    Portable charger by far.
    • You don't have to put it into a
      phone to charge it
    • It'll work with any model of phone (someone else's, her next one)

    Disadvantages would be that it's a bit bulkier and you have to carry a (small) charging cable

    How old is the phone ? Batteries loose capacity as they get older.
    If it's more than 2 years old then the battery may be holding very little charge, in which case it might be better to get a phone battery.

    Thanks. She got the phone last September. Not sure if it was bought new or not. Maybe I'll check that with her. Any recommendations on portable chargers if I choose that option?

    Anything Anker from Amazon UK. Usually listed as having a healthy discount from RRP.
