I never travel without ready charged batteries! It's a paranoia thing for me.

 

[Silver]

I really feel for you Riaz. I am paranoid of that type of thing happening and being stuck without charge. It did happen once but i had my trusty Green Smoke as a backup. Not the greatest but it got me through

 

[Derick]

I leave a 2nd charger at work, then I never have to worry

 

[Riaz]

i normally carry my chargers with me all the time.

but yesterday was my daughters bday and everything was packed away for space.

so yeah im pretty much flucked till i get home.

Wind down the power as much as possible and limit your number of puffs.

[ShaneW]

Put your juice in the microwave, open the door and quickly inhale.

Maybe even a toaster element.

Gooi it macguyver style

Good to hear you wont be influenced by the dark side.

I had the same happen to me, forgot my charger at home, that very night went out and bought a spare, it now stays in my draw at work and I carry a spare kit with me at all times, not gonna let a dead battery catch me off guard again.

Stay strong and good luck.

P.S. There is one way you could get out of all of this, fake a tummy bug and go home LOL!

the SLB can be charged with a fairly common usb cable. Go check with the guys in IT. They normally have boxes of cables lying around. Some HTC phones use the same connector.
Hope this helps.

What type of connector does the SLB use? micro usb? mini usb?

 

[Derick]

Oh that's right - it is called a micro usb I believe - some cameras also work with them for data transfer, so if you don't come right in IT, check at a camera store near you

 

[CraftyZA]

What type of connector does the SLB use? micro usb? mini usb?

Mini USB if i remember correctly.

 

[CraftyZA]

I'm thinking the mini.
@Derick can you remember which one it was?

If I remember correct, it used the one on the left

 

[BhavZ]

Micro usb are used with the following devices:

Samsung Galaxy S2, S3, S4
Blackberry devices
HTC Desire and Desire HD and HTC One
Windows Phone 8

 

[BhavZ]

If it is mini USB ask the IT guys if they have the older 3G cards that use the cable, those cables are mini usb

 

[Derick]

I think we have a cable at home, will ask Melinda to check

 

[Derick]

I'm thinking the mini.
@Derick can you remember which one it was?

If I remember correct, it used the one on the left

Ok, Melinda checked and yes, it is the Mini USB - one on the left

 

[Rowan Francis]

external hard drives use those ..

I use the SLB as a passthrough with my garmin charger in the car
