[@MartinVlach68]

This is not a review and certainly not complete. :) The most important fact is missing - real values. Charging indication is one thing but real increase of battery power is something completely different. I tried this charger hard for 15 minutes on my phone with ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT but yes - all this time my Android phone was indicating charging. The battery stayed on 40% all the time, no increase. I also tried the charger on my other Android phone with battery dead (0%) and after 20 minutes of continuous "charging" the phone was still completely dead - and yes, it also indacated charging all the time. In my opinion - this thing does not work, it only looks like.

[@Aussiehomestead1965]

I agree...i wound the ass of mine...and the charge went down...!!

[@MartinVlach68]

@@Aussiehomestead1965 Exactly, if your device needs to light the display to let you know it is being charged, the power goes even down after a while of "charging". The reason is that ths charger has the output of 600mA (you can find it in the specification of the product) but smartphones need at least 1A to 2A to be charged properly. So this charger works, but not for devices that need more power than it can produce.

[@lukmly013]

600 mA would be enough I charge my phone at 500 mA

try charging an actual power bank for a whole hour and make a foot peddle like sewing machines had so its really easy to sit there and just tap your foot which is way easier than cranking... a foot peddle like this would be amazing and probly charge stuff as u just need to spin that thing faster and it WILL charge

[@jimmylincoln4082]

Good information, thanks mate

[@bethkillian1903]

Super useful, THANK YOU so much!!:)

[@TimpBizkit]

As a proper high speed phone charger operates at 6 or 7 watts, a retracting pull string - like Woody from Toy Story might be better if you can't fit a big hand crank, then you can stretch it out with more force and let it retract back in. The big hand crank on an old Freeplay torch I had would have worked quite well. In terms of charging a phone, an average battery holds around 10 watt hours in a decent smart phone. 36 kilojoules - or lifting 100 kg weight 36 metres. You could probably build this charge off an exercise bike with 5 minutes of easy-ish pedaling, though you'd have to put it into a second battery or slow unwinding spring first so it can go more slowly into the phone.

[@syedjunaid]

Should have connected a multimeter to measure volts and amperage

[@fightttttt]

Nice review thank you. Any recommendations on a more high powered hand crank?

[@MiiBooth]

There are slightly more powerful ones like these www.gearbest.com/mp3-mp4-players/pp_658477.html?lkid=13538510 with a couple more features like radio, flashlight etc. But no matter how much you crank, a phone can only tolerate a fixed amount of current as per its specs. And that is how these crank chargers are designed. Giving it excessive power in a shorter time can damage the battery if done repeatedly.

[@fightttttt]

+MiiBooth Ok I was thinking on just getting a larger hand crank just so it give enough current for a iphone. I considered the radio one too but I think the crank charges the battery inside the radio then that battery can charge a phone so you need to rely on a 2nd battery, but maybe thats wrong and its direct current generated to the phone

[@burmessafox3939]

What if you charge a power bank block? Would it charge?

[@uroskostic8570]

yes it would. its better to charge it that way, and then, charge your phone out of powerbank.

[@emuriddle9364]

@@uroskostic8570 I agree. But I would suggest a small power bank because it will be quicker (I mean that loosely...) to fully charge. Also some gloves (prevents blisters) and an apparatus (for the device and another for your own comfort and posture), to keep everything in place while charging. And with a constant, non-hurried speed. Then have multiple smaller power banks. Kind of like switching razor blades. P.S. I did the math. 2 mintues gets you 1% battery. I'm guessing it will take 200 minutes to fully charge the power bank. Hope you have music and podcasts on a cheap MP3 Player. It will help out A LOT.

[@uroskostic8570]

@@emuriddle9364 and, its not intended to charge phone up to 100%, but enough for you to make emergency phone call.

One could invent a charger that you hang on a tree and tie a weight such as a 20 kg rock or a 10 kg water bucket in it and leave it to crank by gravity. Once in a while you'd only have to lift the weight back up.

if weight is a major factor, one of these would work well enough if the area you are going to has a reasonable amount of sunlight www.toptenreviews.com/mobile/accessories/best-solar-phone-chargers/x-dragon-review/ failing that, get yourself one of these and you wont really need to bring a battery bank at all ulefone.com/products/power5/features.html that phone basically is a giant battery bank i have one and it lasts me around 2 days of heavy use (use that would kill an iPhone within 1-2 hours) when i go camping i always bring my custom made battery box (similar in design and features to an anker powerhouse but with an even bigger battery, better inverter and has solar input) it can power my Aussie outback camping adventures for days but that device does weigh around 7KG (15lbs) it might be worth it to just carry a larger battery pack, deal with the extra weight and just take more breaks rather than risk your phone dying in the middle of nowhere another option would be to bring a spare phone (like an old flip phone) that you only turn on when you need it if you go with the battery bank idea, do not buy the cheap ebay ones, half the cells are filled with sand (to give it extra weight) i recommend you make your own or buy one from a reputable brand this is a good choice and is the one that i use as my emergency phone charger www.buzzgadgets.com.au/jarv-tank-7800mah-military-grade-ip67-outdoor-battery-charger.html if you can find it anywhere
