We all need a quick charge for our i Phones here and there. The only problem is that you don’t always have access to an outlet. A portable charger will normally do the trick, one such as the Elecom Battery Charger. It requires 4 AA batteries and will give your phone a full charge when you need it. It is obviously going to be a bit hefty what with all the batteries, but you do what you have to right?

Although this is a valid method of charging your phone, I wouldn’t recommend spending the $50 on it. Having to buy batteries is not particularly convenient, and no one really wants to carry around a supply of batteries just to charge their phone. There are chargeable phone cases out there that will do the same job, better, and likely faster than this thing, and you’ll probably get more bang for your buck from not having to continually buy batteries.
