Happy Tuesday to you all!! I’ve got another review for you of a product from our friends over the ocean at MobileFun. Yes we review stuff from everywhere, since our reader base is just not limited to the United States. The product is a an interesting take on the portable charger, it’s actually from Phillips, a name I’m sure sure you’re familiar with and it’s aptly named the Emergency Phone Charger. It’s compatible with several different phones out there today, it comes with five different tips including the common mini-USB style like my Tilt uses. The Emergency Charger uses a single AA battery to give you an additional 30 minutes of talk time on your phone. It’s truly a product for emergencies only, it’s not something that you’ll want to use all of the time since it uses a battery each time. Many portable chargers out there are multiple use and they can actually be recharged, but they’re not specifically for emergencies as this one is. It’s well made with a metal housing and it’s not much larger than the AA battery that powers it. There are many situation I’m sure where you could use this product, maybe just keep it in your car, or take it with you camping, hiking or biking as you never know when an emergency will come up and you’ll need to make a phone call.
