The iPhone is a terrific device, when it was introduced two years ago, it brought desktop internet browsing experience to a “phone-sized” device. Additionally, it could also check mail, tell you where you were (via GPS) and even watch YouTube videos. Ah, yes who could forget the ability to make and take phone calls.
However, the one of the major problems the device had was a terrible battery life. What you really come to learn quickly is that the problem with good all-in-one devices is that if you don’t manage your power consumption correctly, you’ll find phone/device out of power in no time…Play a game here, there, check email, surf a few sites and Voila you’re down to 20% battery remaining and it’s only 10:30 a.m.
Well, since the iPhone’s launch a LOT of third-party manufacturers have manufactured their own external batteries. One of the best batteries I have seen is the iPwr Superpack external battery. Aside from it’s sleek black and chrome styling, this battery packs a whole lot of power in a tiny enclosure…the battery is about the same width and thickness of an iphone but surprisingly, it is only 2.3″ long and packs 1800 mAh into it’s tiny physical dimensions.
In my tests/long-term evaluation, this battery held it’s charge well and is always welcome in an emergency. It has an on and off switch that helps the unit conserve batteries when not in use AND will charge a fully drained iPhone 3G in less than two and a half hours.
I really enjoyed using the external battery pack and will do so for as long as I can, for me, it has proved itself time and time again. Watch my video review and visit the folks at iPwr to purchase your unit for .95. Enjoy
