ignis:
How often does NEPA give you electicity?

very often.

Can one even use the phone 5 years? It'll be damn too old beyond recognition.

timpaker: WTF do i need it for? Abi NEPA wire no pass my house?

a real business know what is means as back up phone and make them worrilesss about battery low or need to quickly recharge, but you people browing and looking for pussy on nairaland like me will not know the value of the phone

I believe the phone is crap!

Talk time is 10 hours, a solid Nokia phone (not smart phone oo) will give you that.

The manufacturer is just being clever, unless they developed a new kind of battery, standard NiMH & Li-ion batteries will lose about 1% of their power per day when they are allowed to just sit.

Most battery manufacturers would tell you their batteries can hold their charge for up to 1 year, but one should note that temperature greatly affects battery life, therefore having this phone that uses standard AA batteries in Nigeria (Heat & Humidity) would amount to keeping another phone for thieves to steal.

There are nanobatteries used in missiles, drones, electronic cars, computer memory systems etc that won't discharge until their uses are deployed. That means while on shelf, they are not discharging and after used they stop discharging and they charge almost fully within a min.....those can last up to 12years(from their research). I studied nanobatteries for one of my seminars. Check mphasetech supernanobatteries here http://www.mphasetech.com/technology.html

ThundrCork: This will be very useful to track your car if stolen: just buy one of these and hide it in a secure spot in your car. it eliminates the fear of "what if the battery dies". The thing make serious sense!

This is very smart! I love this idea!!!

Dygeasy: You can't browse with it

You can't listen to music with it

You can't take pictures with it

You can't record voice or videos with it

Just leave it till it rings and the pick up, how then won't it last a century?

Abeegi

Dude, you can hide this in your car and use it as a car-tracking Lo-Jack instead! Think about it!

Hmmm! Interesting.. Thanks for the clarification.

O.lateef:

So whats the hullabaloo about 15 years all about then?

kokosheen:

You're welcome.

Give it to me now!

Make them go get contract for Blackberry. They need this service bad bad.

The battery won't need to be changed for 15 yrs and talk. Time is. 10hrs hmmmm something is wrong

...15 F.U.cking years!!!! . . . Jeeeeeezzzz!!! . . .
BTW...how come the talk time is ONLY 10hours!? . . .

Hmmm....cheap form of Lo Jack......stash in d car/ equipment that may be stolen. Very good for location purpose.

O.lateef:
In a world of battery-hungry phones such as iPhones and Androids, the SpareOne Plus sticks out – its makers claim it lasts for 15 years.

The affordable mobile that runs on a single, AA battery and is built as a ‘spare’ phone for emergencies – it can even call emergency services without a SIM card.

Designed as a back-up phone you can carry without worrying if it’s charged or not, the SpareOne is built to leave in the car for emergencies, or to pack in travel luggage – especially if you or your loved ones plan to go off the beaten track (or off-piste).

The simple numerical keypad is also ideal for older users who might only use a phone occasionally.

The new version, SpareOne Plus, has a GPS tracker which allows the user to be tracked by

emergency services – and can display its location on a paired iPhone app.
The SpareOne can be pre-programmed for instant access to phone numbers of key contacts, including the relevant emergency services in any location.

That single battery offers a talk time of up to 10 hours.

The phone’s developer, XPAL Power, says: “it’s essentially designed to make and receive the most important calls, no matter what”.

It even comes with the AA battery included.

PERHAPS U SHOULD READ AND UNDERSTAND BEFORE COMMENTING. its not like this is WAEC or JAMB. Comprehension skills are vital.

More like you should reason before typing because it seems your brain cells need flexing ...

What part of battery degradation can't you comprehend!!! You keep a phone as back-up in a bag and 2 years down the line you try to put it on and voila, it doesn't work.

Unless they're using nano-batteries as posited by imperiouxx(which would have been greatly stressed in their cosmetic sale write-up), there aren't AA batteries in the market that would last 15 years without use.

Also note the title of the thread and correlate it with the write-up and posters comments before rushing to type.

You are absolutely correct, unless nanobattery which won't discharged when not in use and which could be as tiny as US dime, no Li-ion battery can ever stay the same up to 1 year of consecutive charging and discharging. And no doubt about it from the size of the phone, era of battery and the claimed longevity of the battery that they used a nanobattery on the phone which is a good improvement.

so thats what the bolded portion means to you?


u mean u dont understand what back-up phone .......built to leave in the car for emergencies, or to pack in travel luggage means?


osanobua.

its not a regular everyday fone.
