Imagine this: You are on a call with someone, and your phone dies. Isn't that annoying? Sadly, the iPhone 3GS has terrible battery life. So I have took a great interest in backup batteries. I have reviewed and tried out about 10 in my endeavor to find the bestbackup battery, and I have found the best two.
When you are stationary at your workplace or in the car, the Richard Solo 1800 is perfect. It is lightweight, thin, and sleek, and it will charge your iPhone 3GS two full times! If you have an iPhone 4 like me, you will get just under one and a half full chafes out of this device. It also has a light and a laser pointer which I have found very convenient. Sadly, there is no indicator light to show how much charge you have left in it.
On the other hand, think about this. If you are out and about touring a city all day, you wouldn't want to carry a Richard Solo 1800 hanging off the bottom of your iPhone dangling. For this situation, I recommend the Mophie Juice Pack / Juice Pack Air line of products. What makes these backup batteries so great is that the Mophie Juice Pack is literally a case for your phone. Yes, it does add bulk to the phone, but you can put this in your pocket and won't even realize that it is there.
I have tried products with a lot more power in them, but those are cheap unreliable ones. These are the most reliable, fast, and great customer service products. I highly recommend these. I will be doing reviews for each of these products in the near future.
As new phones coming out are getting better and better, phone batteries tend to last much longer. A lot of times though out of the blue, a phones battery life can suddenly plummet and there is no sign to why.
