Rapido-lass Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I recently bought another windup torch to carry in the motorhome - it saves the worry of checking and carrying spare batteries ( I have one at home which is excellent). Wilkinsons are now stocking windup torches that also have adapters for several different mobile phones, so you can charge your mobile phone if needed. I thought this was a good idea (I haven't actually tried it yet) as it means the item has more than one purpose. Has anyone else tried charging a phone with one, any good?

Mel B Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 A wind up torch is fine, you don't actually use a lot of power for these, but if the mobile phone ones are anything like the stupid torch we got which has a radio as well ... don't bother. It takes so many turns to just get a 30 second burst from the radio that you knacker yourself in the process - if you were doing this to top up a phone and then would be too winded to talk anyway!!!! 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapido-lass Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Fair point, as I said until you try or someone else does, what sounds good in theory isn't necessarily so in practice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
