The best…backup phone rechargers
HyperJuice Plug, Innergie PocketCell, and more
HyperJuice Plug
If weight and price aren’t concerns, this big brick is “the only charger you need.” When there’s no standard outlet in sight, it’ll power up a dead phone 12 times—and quickly—before it needs a recharge of its own.
