Does anyone have experience with this particular smaller phone charger?
I have an isound, but it's too heavy to take out bushwalking.

3500mAh isn't much.
-What device do you want to charge
-how many charges/days do you require for you device etc?
-what is the max. weight penalty are you prepared to go to?
Aldi sell a 7400mAh device for $30.
If you post more info about exactly what you want, the max $ you are willing to spend etc, then we can offer more help.
Cheers,

If you want a power-packed unit try this one.
uNu Enerpak Vault Dual USB 2.1A Universal Battery Pack for Smartphones and Tablets.
11000mAh to give you about 6 Smartphone charges.
It weighs 260g.

How long have you been using it and how much capacity does it provide now after given a full charge?

I've used this unit on a few trips (I've had it for 2 months).
My guess is that it will give about 5 iPhone 5 recharges based on what I've got from it so far.
If you're only using the phone for a few photos here and there and not leaving it on continuously or playing a lot of music, I would think the uNu unit would have enough juice to last for a very lengthy trip.
It has two USB ports, so can recharge two items at once.
