Running Low on Power? Try the iPhone 3G Emergency Battery

Oct 6th 2008 by

One of the big issues I have with the current iPhone 3G is the lack of replacement battery. The battery is inside the unit, and you’re never getting it out. Tough beans if you want to pop in a new battery… At least that’s what I thought until I came across this little ditty.

The folks at more-thing.com (weird name I know) have what they call a rechargeable ‘replacement battery’ that you simply plug into your iPhone at any time for that quick power fix.

Part of the sales pitch from more-thing:

3 hours of additional talking time

We’ve custom-designed the Emergency Battery for use with the iPhone 3G, testing it thoroughly to ensure full compatibility and a maximum lifespan. Powered with 1000mAh and rechargeable by USB cable, the Emergency Battery is going to provide you with 3 hours of additional talking time, or 40% of the iPhone 3G’s original battery capacity – more than enough to get you through the day! Now you can finally make use of your iPhone 3G’s feature palette without the fear of draining your battery too quickly. Thanks to the Emergency Battery, it’s time to stop worrying and enjoy what your iPhone 3G has to offer!

Lightweight, portable and fully supports the iPhone 3G

As one of the Emergency Battery’s main areas of use is in travel situations, we’ve paid special attention to making it as lightweight and portable as possible, building in a custom-tailored clipset to fully support the iPhone 3G. Judging by the result – the Emergency Battery weighs in at just 40g, with dimensions of 61x52x12mm – we can clearly say that we’ve been successful. This goes for ease of use as well: With simple plug & play, you’ll have your iPhone 3G ready to be used again within seconds.

Our Emergency Battery is the ideal solution to your battery problems – no matter whether you’re on the road, or depend on your iPhone 3G at work. It is a simple, yet amazingly useful accessory that is going to take your iPhone experience to new heights.

Very cool, wouldn’t you say? I haven’t pulled the trigger and bought one of these things yet, but boy, I could sure see myself using one of these things from time to time.
