Wrist-Wearable Phone Chargers

Extend Your Phone's Battery Life with the Miniinthebox Charger

— October 25, 2012 — Tech
It's always annoying when your phone battery dies when you're in the middle of an important call, but the Wrist Watch Pattern Portable Battery will give your phone that extra bit of juice to get through the day.

The portable battery is worn like a wrist watch, making it easily accessible and conveniently located right where your device is held. It's also compact rather than cumbersome like other portable power sources and, because it's secured to your wrist, you're less likely to misplace it while traveling.

The 1500mAh portable battery comes with a miniUSB port, charging cord and 7 adapters to accommodate most phone brands and it can even charge a Nintendo DS. It's not meant to last long, but long enough for you to find an outlet for your phone. It's a great addition for those who frequently find themselves on the move and without a convenient place to charge a phone.
