Longer battery life.

Hi, I have an old nokia 6303i and whilst the battery life is actually decent, it would be nice if it is a little longer to ensure my phones never dies on me whilst at a festival or camping. I'm interested in using one of those dynamo chargers but no idea if they are worth it or not. Would having multiple batteries be better? Replacement batteries seem to get very mixed reviews! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

replacement batteries are cheap, just take a few of those and make sure they are charged before you go. The old nokia batteries last a good week anyway with minimal use

Get the Anker battery from amazon, I got the 8400 one shade over £20, can charge 2 devices at the same time and will fully charge a standard smart phone 4 times.I carry mine in my jacket, very reassuring

Thanks I will check that one out, may get a few spare batteries at the same time just to be safe. Thanks.

If you have the space then the 1000 is the one to get. I went for 8400 for portability. To work out how it will fare take 30% off the battery capacity and divide your phones battery capacity into that value to get the number of charges it will do. Has a 2amp socket as well for fast charges

I can't remember what charging port the old Nokias use, but there's a possibility the Anker chargers won't have the necessary adapter for it. Might want to do a bit of research into that before you get one.

I do agree that they are fantastic though. I got the 5600 one because I didn't want to have something too big. My one is about the size of a packet of tissues.
