Charger

TX-starlight · ‎03-10-2010

I need recommendations for small/light portable phone charger. I had purchased (from QVC) a Halo awhile back, that was perfect. I loaned it to my son, who of course didn't return it. NOW, Qvc no longer sells the same kind & reviews on their current items are all low. I ordered another type from Amazon, it was the perfect size, but would not hold a charge, immediately on receiving. THEN ordered 1 from WalMart & when it arrived, the thing was huge & heavy, not at all what I wanted (a hassle to return that 1). Please can anyone recommend anything??

@TX-starlight Check out InstaCharge products on HSN. They usually have a good assortment and prices this time of year. I gave an Insta-Charge unit as a gift last year and the recipient has been pleased with it.

I bought this set from HSN last year - 4 individual chargers and they are very thin, light weight and hold the charge for a long time before having to recharge the charger - I love them! (instaCHARGE 577-909)....I just ordered and rec'd this new one (instaCHARGE 577-337) because it's more powerful and I can charge two items at the same time, but it is heavy and I thought about sending it back, but I'll keep it for my godson to use in the car and just keep my smaller one in my purse.....both are really nice!

does it need to be from the Q?

if not there are many out there, I would go to TJ or Marshalls and look at their tech section

I just got one in Costco.It’s lightweight & holds a charge well.

i have both halos and instacharges.

i buy them by the bushel (LOL, not really, but mine always seem to disappear or get "stolen.")

just a warning.......the instacharges are NOT lightweight if that is what you need.

i also have a "thinium" from qvc and that works very well also. it is lightweight and has a slim design that can easily stay attached to your phone while you are using it.

The particular 4-pack instaCHARGE I referenced is very much lightweight!

they are some of the heaviest chargers i have owned or felt ( i am referring to the 4 pack of 7500mah chargers on hsn).....i dont consider a half pound charger lightweight at all, but i guess it is all relative.....one persons heavy is another persons lightweight. the halo cylinder chargers and the thinium are much more lightweight.

and the 4-pk i'm referring to is the 4600 mah chargers on hsn, completely different from your 1/2-lb charger...you're right, it's all relative.

@TX-starlight: Last month, I bought my son a 2-charger set from QVC, item #: E227724. He was taking a long trip, & I wanted to make sure he had a good charger. He picked it out. It was very reasonable, & it's worked well. HTH.
