Recomendation: Portable cell phone backup battery

There is a portable battery charger that I use in the field that I find irreplaceable. I think you should all get one.

$95 at Amazon.com

It has built in lightning plug (For iPhone) and micro USB (For Blackberry or Droid)

It has a built in prongs to re-charge it in the wall. (Most battery back up you have to plug into a computer to recharge)

It can fill up your iPhone about 4 full charges.

It has a light to let you know if it’s full or empty.

You can charge multiple devices at once and use the device while it’s charging.

*** Make sure to buy the one with the built in wall prongs. Hub 6000 or Hub 9000

Others agree.

“Wow, this is great.” – Denise Martinez-Ramundo

“Thanks, this is so great in the field.” – Gwen Gowen

“Can I borrow your battery thingy?” – Jonathan Balthaser
