Butane fuel cell gadget puts two weeks of smartphone charging in your pocket
Smartphone battery life isn't what we'd like it to be. My BlackBerry Torch barely lasts a whole day before I'm cozying up to a wall wart. My wife's Droid Razr needs a mid-day recharge or it's dead before bedtime.
And face it, when your phone is tethered to the wall, so are you. Somebody should market a coiled USB cable so we can at least pretend to harken back to the halcyon days of wall-mounted princess phones while our lithium ions absorb their daily dose of electrons.
Enter Lilliputian Systems and their portable butane fuel cell pocket charger.
Retailer Brookstone will sell a portable fuel cell able to charge smartphones a dozen times before running out.
Fuel cell maker Lilliputian Systems today announced that Brookstone will be the first retailer to carry its portable USB power source, which will be sold under Brookstone's brand. The fuel cell device is about the size of a thick smartphone, and the lighter fluid-filled cartridges are about the same size as a cigarette lighter.
The new fuel cell will charge any device that has a USB cable.
Lilliputian's fuel cell will be able to fully charge, for example, an iPhone 4 between 10 and 14 times with one cartridge. That can mean a couple weeks of use for many people.
Who knew your dad's old Zippo could be reborn as an iPhone juicer?
