Trent iCarrier Battery Pack

After yesterday's post about the NomadPlus external battery, reader Josh Hogan wrote in with another suggestion: the Trent iCarrier. It doesn't come with a wall adapter of its own, but it has other advantages: 12,000mAh power capacity, meaning it can charge your iPhone and iPad a couple times each before needing its own recharge. If you have just an iPhone, you could…

NomadPlus

(Readers, take note of the promo code at the end of this post.) There are a number of ways to deal with device battery life issues while traveling. I personally like using a Mophie Juice Pack Air on my iPhone because I can just flip the power switch when I need a boost. It does have its downsides though: Not everyone wants…

This one could come in handy for those of you lucky enough to be at WWDC this week.

The main portion of the unit can be swiveled 90° away from the power outlet surface by pressing the big silver buttons on either side, allowing for better compatibility…

JUMP — Device Charger and Cable

The guys at Native Union have put on a Kickstarter project called JUMP, a charge cable with its own built-in battery pack. It can detect when your device is at full power, and will then begin storing some power on its own, enough to charge an iPhone up to 30% when it's needed most. When you're done using it, the cable wraps…

Mophie Juice Pack Universal PowerStation Duo

With most of us carrying phones and tablets these days, it's easy to get caught without a charge. The Mophie Juice Pack Universal PowerStation Duo is the company's answer to that modern headache. The devices' 6000mAh rechargeable battery can provide up to four full charges for most smart phones, and since it has two USB ports, it can charge more than one…
