I was wondering wich extender would be best for trips and watching movies from (for axim x50v)?


This looks like it can connect to the x50v and charge the battery while you watch the movie.

While something like this seems to only charge if the power is off on the x50v via USB?

Im very confused. The Semsons one looks great! But im not sure if it worth it to get if I will run out of power while watching a movie in the x50v. Does the semsons actually act as an external battery or just a charger for the x50v while it is off?

Thanks very much!!

(Edit There is also this model

Do a search on 'battery extender'.. there have been numerous discussions about this..

Also read the sticky thread at the top of this forum for more information on the power demands on the X50 series.

I have searched the other messages, but none of them really awnser the questions I asked. They do for the x5 and the x30 but not the x50v. Ill read the power demand thread over agian.

I emailed semsons.com and they confirmed the output current at 1 amp. This should be plenty to charge while the x50v is on. Ordered one today and will report my experience next week.

Just an update for those who were looking at this product. It works great it charges constently, keeping the battery life at 100% wether the x50v is on or off. So great for long trips Now I just have to get some 2500mAh batterys and Ill be set!! Thanks alot everyone!

Hi,

I hesitate between the 2 semsons models included in your thread. which one did you buy? How is your experience after a few months?

Thanks
