Richard Solo Apple iPhone and iPod Smart Backup Battery Pack

Like so many people on the planet, I am the proud owner of an Apple iPhone as well as an iPod. When it comes to battery life on an iPod, I have no complaints. Then we move on to the iPhone, the battery life on this ultimate gadget is very poor, and if you have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi on, then the battery runs flat even quicker.

There have been many times when I have been out all day and my iPhone has run flat, without my iPhone I feel as if someone has taken one of my limbs away. However there is something that you can do, and that is to get yourself a backup battery.

There are so many on the market, it is often difficult to choose which is best. No matter what you go for, they will always take the beauty away from your iPhone, but who cares, just as long as you have power to run your handset. The Richard Solo Smart Backup Battery Pack has to be one of the better looking on the market.

Before I could even try this battery backup, I had to charge the device for 3.5 hours, until the 100 percent LED illuminated. Once you have tried it just once, you should give it a full over night charge for two nights, this will get the device running at full capacity.

On a full charge, the battery backup only has enough power to charge you iPhone to 70 to 80 percent. There are two ways you can charge your backup battery, via a USB port, or from a wall outlet.

This is one device that I will keep with me at all times, my iPhone will be in one pocket and the Richard Solo Apple iPhone and iPod Smart Backup Battery Pack will be in the other.
