My phone (Galaxy S2) has a bit of a thirst for battery life, which is a bit of a problem if going camping and staying somewhere for a few days without power.

I have an (alleged) long life battery, & the OE one as a spare battery, and what I'm going to do is pop a cigarette lighter socket under my seat and charge one of the batteries in a Samsung EBH1A2USBE. This costs about a tenner, and I'd rather leave that under my seat than my phone.

NSK has a really good set up on his bike with the 12v socket under the seat. Ive now fitted one to both my bikes so it just goes to show how easy it is Smile

Aye, but I'll be using the phone as a camera etc etc and as such it does shaft the battery somewhat.

I've put a socket near the headstock so that I can use my phone as a twatnav & have a waterproof cover for the phone. Yes, I was very careful where I put it.
