Since experiencing our 3rd Nor'easter in 11 days and losing power for days on each one. Mostly likely today also. I have been charging batteries quite a bit lately. For those of us unfortunately to have a less than good battery life on the Oasis 2. I have been using an Anker PowerCore Charger to charge the Oasis 2 more than any of my other devices. Those include Amazon Kindle Fire Hdx 8.9, I pads mini and Air 2, my Kindle Voyage. My i phone comes in a close second but it's not new or big.

I also recommend to anyone to be wary of second hand Oasis 2's . Either on ebay or Amazon. No ones putting in new batteries in these things so there is the possibility of getting One that someone returned for poor battery life. I'll sell mine to Amazon only. When they have something better or not. They sold it to me so they can buy it back.

I do like everything else about the oasis 2, they did make a very nice device, they just under powered it. I know many say it's ok and they have no problems. I do believe those that do. I 'm just saying not everyone have the same experience and those will be returned or not.

I'm keeping mine but charging it more than any other device I own. I will trade it in at some point before the battery craps out all together.
