Caroline. I did by one of the windy rechargers some time back, and you
would have to do a lot of winding to get useful life out of your phone. I
think the battery powered ones are the way to go. I found Carphone
Warehouse sell a range of these, but feel sure you might pick up something
equivalent for rather less at Maplin or somewhere like that.
Seem to recall also that someone was marketing a fuel cell which did the
same job, but you had to throw it away afterwards. Rather waistful, but
would certainly get you out of a scrape.

Hi Caroline,
My wife found an emergency gizmo which uses one of
these squarish 9 volt PP3 batteries.
Give her a call at the office, and I'm sure she'll
be able to tell you where she got it.
George.

Subject: [access-uk] Alternative Mobile Phone
Chargers
Hello,
I don't yet have a Talks-enabled mobile phone, so
have to remember to charge the battery when I
think it's getting low. Unfortunately I don't
always judge this correctly and the battery has
gone dead on a couple of occasions.
I've heard that it's possible to buy portable
chargers which either work off the USB port, are
battery-operated or can be wound by hand. I would
be interested to know if anyone has used one of
these chargers and whether you've found them
successful or not. Ideally I'm looking for
something very small and portable, but I haven't
been able to find the dimensions of the different
kinds of chargers to determine which would be the
most suitable.
The battery-operated charger I've found takes four
AAA batteries, which would indicate that it's
quite large. I'm probably favouring the wind-up
charger at the moment, but I've no idea how robust
they are and whether it's really possible to get a
decent charge into the phone without having to
wind for hours and hours.
If anyone has any experience of these chargers,
and knows a good supplier, I'd be interested to
hear from you.
Thanks,
Caroline.
