If you use a smartphone on a regular basis, you know the daily chore of searching for a power outlet or cable to charge up your phone's battery during the day. Otherwise you're probably going to find yourself with a dead battery before you get home that evening.
Companies such as Mophie, Energizer and PowerSkin make phone cases that hold an extra charge you can use to power up your phone during the day. But what if you want to charge up more than one phone? Or perhaps a phone and a tablet?
For that you need a portable external battery pack. myCharge and Innergie make portable batteries in different capacities and Jackery just released its new line of power packs.
The Mini and the Bar external batteries are small and portable and loaded with fast-charging power. Their size makes them convenient to throw into a bag for on-the-go charging. Because you supply your own USB cable, you can charge whatever device you have, even an iPhone 5 if you have a Lightning-to-USB cable. Jackery says the batteries are also compatible with Windows phones, tablets and gaming devices, and MP3 players.
The Bar touts 5,600mAh and sells for $39.95, while the Mini provides 2,600mAh for $29.95. The company says the Mini can charge up a dead iPhone more than once, and can charge a dead iPad back up to 50% power.
Do you carry an extra battery around with you to charge up devices during the day? Does this method seem convenient? Let us know in the comments.
