Upgrade to a vibrating phone cheaply

Advantages: Feel your phone whenever you are
Disadvantages: It can shoot your phone across a hard surface and does make a bit of a noise.

...I had, which was a slim line one, thinner than the standard 5110/6100 battery. It was also Li-Ion which meant I did not have to run it down every time I wanted to charge it. The battery cost £15 plus delivery, sorry can not remember the online shop but it was based in America. But I have found www.cellsavers.co.uk do them for £13.99 plus delivery is free at the moment....

Review of Nokia 5110/6110 Li-Ion vibrating Battery

Nice in principle, crap in practice

Advantages: Light, makes the phone a lot better physically
Disadvantages: Noisy vibration, battery life is rubbish

...I saw this battery at a computer fair, and i thought it would make a nice addition to my 5110. I picked it up, and on feeling it's weight, had to buy it. Got it home, charged it up and rang it from my home phone. On discreet, the vibration is noisier than the phone on 'personal' tones. I was appalled as to how noisy it was. i was not to be put off by its loudness, however, so i thought the battery life may be a lot better than the standard NiMH cell. Again, i was proved wrong by this awful accessory as the battery life is about 2 days with this battery: the standard 1 is about 5 days to 1 week. So, all in aleft with is a short-life, noisy-on-silent phone. it does have one saving grace: my phone is now lighter than the 3210. Kiss my ass 3210 owners !!!!...

Energizer AA 2500 mAh Rechargeable Batteries

Advantages: Long Life
Disadvantages: Exspensive

...Hi today I will be reviewing Energizer AA 2500 mAh Rechargeable Batteries. Price You can buy these from Amazon for cheapest £7.05 I got them for £10 from B&Q and I got a charger as well. Life I recommend fully charging these for first time use. I put them on for a day. From the full charge I managed to get a week use out of them. I use them in my Xbox 360 Controllers which are used by me and my brothers so they were on for most of the week. Charge While using the official charger for this product it takes around 6 hours to charge fully (Overnight). Size I find that these batteries are a little larger than the usual AA batteries because in my Xbox controller when I first got them in they took quite a lot of force to get them out again. After using them for quite a lot it seems to have stretched the battery pack so it...

Review of Energizer Batteries

The Energizer Battery Charger

Advantages: Good value for money
Disadvantages: Takes a long time to charge batteries

.... This charger was on offer. The normal RRP being £17.99. The charger came with four AA size Energizer 2500mAH batteries. These were the same size of battery that I required for my camera. My camera however only requires two batteries so I thought that this would be ideal as I could always have a spare set of fully charged batteries with me when I was out and about with my camera. This charger comes packaged in a thick plastic packet that was moulded around the shape of the charger. This packaging is transparent so you can see what you are buying before you part with your money. The charger itself is rather modern looking and very compact. It is also very lightweight and weighs only 132g. Size wise it measures just 80cm long by 10cm wide and it is less than 3cm thick. The prongs of the plug are moulded into the design of the charger...

My fab Jeep

Advantages: Spacious, comfortable, good looks, well built
Disadvantages: Maybe petrol consumption, if you do a lot of miles per year

...I felt I had to revise this review, having now owned the car for two years, so the original text below includes some additions that I thought may be useful:- I had to write a review based on my Jeep Cherokee. I'd previously owned a Vauxhall Frontera, but we saw this advertised in the Summer of 2004, and it caught my eye immediately. We were actually looking for a Grand Cherokee, but once we saw this model we fell in love with it! ~ THE CAR ~ The car itself is an automatic petrol 3.7 litre V6, which, according to the onboard computer, does 13/14 miles to the gallon (Eeeek!). Although, having driven on longer journeys (than just to Tescos and back!) I get more like 20mpg, up to even 24 mpg on the motorway. A diesel version is available, which is no doubt probably better in an economical sense, and also manual versions to choose...

Let the Sun save your battery

Advantages: Helps prevent flat batteries; achieves longer battery life
Disadvantages: None

...journeys. I still park my car outside so I am glad of the extra reassurance I will have this coming winter from my solar-powered battery saver. At about 16 inches long, 4 inches wide and a depth of less than an inch, it sits easily on top of my dashboard, its solar panel absorbing energy when in daylight and trickle-charging the battery as it does so through the cigar lighter. I can leave it plugged into the cigar lighter at all times as it will neither overcharge nor drain the battery. If your car does not have a cigar lighter all is not lost. The battery saver comes with instructions for directly connecting to the battery, although, depending on the location of your battery, the approx 3 foot lead gives limited options for where you place your solar panel. I found it a little strange that the wiring is coloured white for positive...

Review of ICP Solar Battery Saver

360 Rechargeable Battery

Advantages: battery life
Disadvantages: cost

...Here it is, the solution to the hassle of constantly swapping out batteries from the xbox 360 controller's battery pack. This product will definitely save you money as you'll be spending much less on AA batteries especially if you play your 360 a lot. This battery pack however is absolutely useless without the recharging chord or recharging dock. The rechargeable battery pack is very convenient but if you're playing with the controller while it's recharging the controller becomes a wired controller for a couple hours which is not necessarily a bad thing. Also I feel the price for this product is a little steep but I guess it does save you money in the long run. The batteries do last for a long time and I rarely recharge my batteries. This product is a must buy for hardcore 360 owners but for the casual gamer who only plays every...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack

WIRELESS BATTERY PACKS!!!

Advantages: WILL SAVE YOU MONEY!!!
Disadvantages: COST!!!

...built into the controller. So microsoft came up with the idea of... NUCLEAR POWER CONTROLLERS. But then they probably realised this would be to dangerous and powerful so they just settled for double "A" batterys. : ) The batterys will last for around 12 - 20 continuous hours depending on the type you use, but changing batterys almost every day gets very annoying, and expensive. If you have rechargable batterys you will save money instead of always throwing batterys way but why wait for batterys to recharge? Microsoft then came up with the idea of the battery pack. On a full charge it will last around 24 hours of gaming and can be on charge while in use! It will add a small amound of extra weight to the controller but not so that you would notice. This is all good! you can now have a charging pack so you no longer need to buy batterys...

The GB instructions would fit on one side of a credit card and the text is very small and people with poor...

MadCatz Wii Fit Battery Pack

Advantages: easy to use, great value for money, can be used during gameplay, USB connection
Disadvantages: cannot be charged from the mains

... MadCatz Wii Fit Battery Pack After months of searching we finally managed to get hold of a Nintendo Wii Fit board back in July which was hugely popular with the whole family and used almost every second that the house was occupied. For those who may be unfamiliar with the Nintendo Wii and the Wii fit balance board I will explain these briefly first. The Wii is a games console which uses a handheld remote for interactive play (simulating tennis etc). The Wii fit balance board is a rectangular board which the user stands on and it links up wirelessly to the Wii and is used to improve health through balance games, muscle and yoga poses and aerobic exercise games. The Wii fit balance board measures and monitors weight, centre of gravity etc and feeds this back wirelessly to the Wii console plugged into your television. Due...
