After last week’s podcast featuring Dan Lane of Howler Tech, we got on to the subject of power. Dan carries, if I’m remembering correctly, multiple laptop batteries wherever he goes. Wherever.
So if he goes out, he’s got bucketloads of juice.
SMS Text News contributor, James Whatley, is never without 2-3 fully charged Nokia N95 8GB batteries. He has them in his pocket like you and I do with our wallets. It’s second nature to him. He also carries a stand-alone battery charger, too, so he doesn’t need to charge his batteries in the phone (giving him more phone-use time).
I’m wondering what other ‘stay live’ techniques people use when they’re out and about. I went and bought a load of (fake, it turns out) batteries for my E90 a little while ago to adopt James’ strategy. It would have worked well if the batteries were genuine and held a charge.
Have you got any smart techniques we should all be adopting?
Power Monkey – charges just about everything, can top my phone up 3/4 times & it's quick to recharge from the mains or USB. Means you don't have to carry loads of chargers around too.
Solar chargers like – http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/13980.htm

Proporta Mobile Power … charges everything I have
Another vote here for the Proporta charger. A very neat piece of kit – so neat my wife keeps 'adopting' it when she's forgotten to charge her Nokia!!
i wear pants with an extra pocket to stick my charger in there. sure i may not look as formal with semi-cargo pants, but i reap huge benefits.
I'd also recommend the Proporta mobile device chargers (batteries). Two different versions. Never go anywhere without one – http://www.proporta.com
I really like the Proporta that I have been using. I am also carrying a spare N95-1 battery that fits into my N95-4. Kind of ridiculous but I have started using Truphone as my business phone and the N95-4 battery only lasts a little over an hour on a 3G call.

Calling all phone makers: No USB socket on your phone? No purchase from me 🙂
