New Trent iCarrier: A Portable Phone Charger And A Blogger’s Dream

March 12, 2013

 

New Trent iCarrier

 

I love my iPhone.

Really. Love.

But the battery life? Meh.

Being a Mom is one thing, but as a blogger and a community manager for several small businesses, I am always on.

I turn my phone on at 6am (fully charged) and by noon I am ready to plug it in again. Unfortunately, this isn’t always convenient – I’m not always near an outlet. When I am at a blogging or business event updating my social media accounts every 15-30 minutes and draining my battery, this poses a huge problem.

Enter the iCarrier.

This charger is definitely making into my Blissdom bag, along with the other New Trent products that I own.

Portable Phone Charger

About the size of your palm, the iCarrier has enough power to fully charge your iPhone SIX times (it charges any device that can plug into a USB outlet, though, so don’t think it’s just for iPhones). I can stick the iCarrier in my bag and use my phone while it’s charging. When the charger *finally* runs out of power, just plug it into an outlet and charge it back up.

Portable Phone Charger

This charger is awesome for blogging events and conferences, but it’s also great for every day use. It seems I am always wrestling it out of Michael’s hands – he isn’t one to remember to charge his phone.

Portable Phone ChargerThis is a usual sight… Michael on his phone with the charger close by. 

Last week we had a long wrestling tournament to head to and I asked Jack to charge his iPad so he would have something to do while Michael was wrestling. The tournaments usually run 2-4 hours, so the iPad is a necessity for my sanity. He forgot to charge it. I pulled it out of our bag, gave it to him, and it wouldn’t even turn on – it was that dead. Thankfully, I had my iCarrier on me and plugged it in. I was nervous because they iCarrier was showing it was about half charged…

The charger allowed Jack to play until the end of the tournament – 3.5 hours.

This is why we carry it with us everywhere – you never know when you’ll need it, and for a portable phone charger to charge an iPad? It’s not common.

Portable iPad Charger

If you needs specs to make you believe…

The iCarrier charges:

  • Apple: iPhone 5/The New iPad with Retina display/iPad 2/iPad/iPhone 4S/ iPhone 4/ iPhone 3GS/ iPod Touch
  • Samsung Galaxy Note/Galaxy S3/Galaxy S2/Galaxy Nexus /All other Samsung cell phones
  • HTC Evo Shift 4G/Incredible S/Sensation XL /Thunderbolt / EVO 3D / EVO 4G / All other HTC cell phones
  • Motorola Razr/Atrix / Bionic/ Droid X , X2/ triumph/All other Motorola cell phones
  • Blackberry Tour/Storm 2/Curve/ Bold/ Blackberry cell phones
  • Nook COLOR, Nexus 7, Galaxy Note, Tablets and other compatible 5V tablets

- Capacity 12000mAh@3.7V (44.4Wh)
- Recharge Time 8 -10 hrs
- Life recharge Cycle > 500 Times
- Input: 5V / 2A
- Dimension: 3.9″*3.6″*1.1″ / 99mm*91mm*28mm

I own several New Trent chargers, and this is the most powerful of them. If you are interested in a charger but don’t need all that the iCarrier has to offer, you might be interested in the NT600C which charges an iPhone 2-3 times or an iTorch which will charge an iPhone 1-2 times.

I would really love to have this charger because I travel a great deal for my job. As a result, I do everything thru some sort of technology–cell phone, laptop, tablet. I am always running around airports looking for a place to recharge. Often times its hard to find an outlet. And….(insert drum roll)…I just started blogging this week which means that I will need to stay charged and ready to roll even more.

BTW, I enjoyed your review of the product. It was very “user friendly” and not too techie.

Best wishes,
Sherri

My phone and Hubs phone for sure. We use them a great deal for work during the day and they can’t always make it through without needing a “pick me up” before we get home. It would also be great for when we go to the cabin or to visit family. Not always access to plug it in.
