I was in WalMart today, and saw this Duracell brand USB charger for $29.95.

Perhaps it has been out for a while. Very slim, small and rechargable Li- Ion. via a USB cable. Available in 1150, 2000 and 500 mAh

I bought a similar device (charges cellphones from an AA battery) a few months ago but I never used it yet, since I have phone chargers at home, in my car and at work

I decided to buy it. When I go fishing, abandoned on a desert island, or in the 'dog house' I can be without a charger.

Saw some bad reviews on Amazon, but one good one. No reason for it not to work. But basically, I'm a gadget freak, so no more needs to be said.

I'll post how it works. I liked that it was slim and universal, unlike buying an extra battery for a particular cell phone. Plus I trust Duracell.

I tried it out. My iPhone was down to 58% tonight. Hooked it up and in about 1 hour it was back to 98%.

No reason it should work while using the phone either. Happy to have this device.
