It didn’t take long after I got my iPhone to realize the battery life wasn’t that great. Whereas my old phone would go for days on a charge, the iPhone needed to be charged just about daily. Of course, I was using a lot more media on the iPhone than on my old device, but I still wanted more battery life.

Mobile phone users having a similar issue with battery life can soon pick up the iON Universal Mobile Power Bank. The device is a universal external battery with 1500mAh of power and a tip specifically for the iPhone and iPod.

Users of other devices can use the iON as well, assuming your device charges from USB. The battery is coated in non-slip rubber and has a carry case. Overall dimensions of the iON are 3.39-inches W x 0.35-inches H x 2.24-inches L and it weighs a mere 0.05 pounds. The device will be available on Newegg this month for $29.99.
