My mobile phone (Sony Xperia Z) will struggle on longer away trips to keep the battery life ! It has a fixed battery, so I wonder if any NSC techno experts could advise as to if there are any external batteries that I can buy ?

You can get yourself a battery case

I have the very same phone, two bits of advice that have made a siginificant difference in power saving:

1) Don't instal the Albion App - it's a drainer

2) I have installed 'Juice Defender' aswell as using the Extended Standby Mode.

Works for me on away games.

Exactly.

Or if you don't like the whole case idea you can just get a rechargeable portable charger, such as one of these:

I've not used it myself but it's very cheap and has a lot of good reviews.

By comparison HTC do their own version:

However this retails for about £60

There are loads of external batteries to choose from. I have used several non-brand ones and had no problems. Expect to pay between 15-30 quid depending on capacity.

Thanks for your help chaps. I have one on order for the long and winding train journey back from deepest Somerset.
