Default Need help choosing external battery

I'm looking to buy an external battery, but my choices are 1900 mah or 1000 mah. Does anyone know what mah the phone requires or does it not make a difference.

Thanks,
dd

It doesn't make any difference but I would go with the higher mAh. It will give more charge life to your iPhone. In other words, you will get more charges to your iPhone from the external battery before the external battery runs down. I think the mAh of the iPhone internal battery is 1200 mAh so if you get the 1000 mAh it will not fully charge the iPhone battery. Here is another one I just learned about. It is 5000 mAh. The 1900 mAh is a good enough external battery for the iPhone though.

Keep us posted on how well it works. I'm thinking about some kind of extra battery.

That's right. Thank you Napoleon for informing me about the maxpower 5000mAh. I will be interested to learn how that works out for you.

You can go to YouTube and type in 'iphone external battery' and it will give videos of people reviewing and demo-ing the battery.
