Powerbag Deluxe Charging Backpack Looks Like a Good Way to Keep Your Phone Charged Up On the Road

Smartphones are great and everything but they have one very, very weak point: the battery. My last stupid phone would stay juiced up for around four days (with moderate use) on a single charge. My aging Android is lucky to manage a day with minimal use. So all of those clever features: the GPS, the games, the productivity software, the wireless tethering functionality, the Internet access, etc that supposedly make my phone “smart” are of little use to me 95% of the time. I definitely need a new phone, but Think Geek’s Powerbag Deluxe Charging Backpack has me reconsidering my approach to mobile power.

There have been juice packs, and the like for years, but charging backpacks are a relatively new phenomenon, but given the number of portable electronic devices that most of find ourselves carrying these days – it would look like their time has come.
