New 'SpareOne' mobile phonehas a battery that lasts for 15 years - mikebratcher69 - 10 January 2012 As mobile phones have got more and more hi-tech, battery life has dwindled. But the new SpareOne 'spare' mobile aims to change that. It runs on one AA battery, and claims to keep its charge for up to 15 years. The new phone - unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week - is designed as a 'backup' phone you can keep in the glove compartment for emergencies. The idea is that you can keep it there without worrying if it’s charged or not. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2084582/New-mobile-phone-ditches-extras--battery-life-15-years.html RE: New 'SpareOne' mobile phonehas a battery that lasts for 15 years - bigpaul - 10 January 2012 (10 January 2012, 15:46)mikebratcher69 Wrote: As mobile phones have got more and more hi-tech, battery life has dwindled.i keep a phone charger in the car, it works off the cigarette lighter-cost me £6.

RE: New 'SpareOne' mobile phonehas a battery that lasts for 15 years - Prep Girl - 10 January 2012 I'd like to know what's in these super duper batteries and is harmful in any way, bit like the energy saving light bulbs that last for years but are actually damaging to our health. RE: New 'SpareOne' mobile phonehas a battery that lasts for 15 years - NorthernRaider - 10 January 2012 I just made sure all our families mobile phones are from the same manufacturer and thus use the same battery, but the primary weakness with the mobile phone network is (A) Its limited coverage, most very romte areas have no coverage (B) The vulnerability of the indivifdual towers and tower clusters, if the power goes off for any reason huge areas are without a service © The government can and does turn off or limit cell phone acess in times of crisis. RE: New 'SpareOne' mobile phonehas a battery that lasts for 15 years - Skean Dhude - 10 January 2012 I'll still be worried about it. I doubt anything could hold a charge that long for one. What network will it use? Charges? Personally I'm with anything that improves battery life but not for emergency use. |
