Do you know iPhone external battery pack?
 
Last Saturday, I was in the airport waiting for boarding, a beautiful girl wa sitting beside catching my eyes. Oh, no no... don't don't make mistake:p, what I am interesting is a external battery pack connected to iPhone in her hands.

That iPhone external battery pack looks so nice, its surface is quite bright, just as the same performance as iPhone. I see the logo on the item is SPAMMER I checked it is a brand of Chinese iPhone accessories manufacturer.
It is too far to buy from China, is there anyone know where I can buy from amazon?

If you're still traveling thru airports, look to see if there is a Brookstone store. They have tons of options, and I think they have pre-charged chargers if you're in a rush.

Welcome to Flyertalk. This would probably be better placed in the Travel Technology forum. That said, I have a Morphie Juice Pack Air for my iPhone. I got it at an Apple store but Amazon carries them too. I like mine a lot, especially when traveling. It holds a bit less than the amount of charge that the phone itself holds, so it not quite doubles the battery life.

Search for New Trent on Amazon for external batteries in a variety of sizes and iPad compatible as well. I have three of them, works well and reliable. Many of the newer models have dual USB ports as opposed to the single ports on the Sinoele.

I second the Mophie. It is just like a case on top of your phone. Very convenient!!

I've been using a Tekkeon battery for a couple of years as a backup for my devices and been quite happy with it. It's perfect for when the phone or mifi needs a bit of juice to keep on going. There are quite a few different models, capacities, and sizes out there, so you can easily find something that fits your needs.

I second the New Trent recommendation; if you're going to get an external battery pack, get one that has enough juice to charge your iPhone and other USB-devices several times over! While the IMP70D may be overkill in terms of capacity and size, it's great to have all that power in such a relatively small size, and I bought it for just $34 less than three months ago).

I simply use an external case/battery when travelling. I have used the mophie, boost case and some chinese others. The boostcase is just fine and can be found for about 30-50$ depending, even on ebay. Just search for boost case. Will double the iphone battery life.

Battery powered iPhone charger?
 
Is that what you are asking about? If so, Duracell makes a pretty nifty battery-powered phone charger but it isn't very sleek really. http://askthechicgeek.blogspot.com/2...-for-when.html

I'm guessing this is spam, trying to drive traffic to "said website"

I've been using a couple of them. I picked up one of the energizer cases (very similar to the mophie) for when i know i will be burning through the battery and won't be near a charger.

I also have a Zagg Sparc for the other times. I keep this charged up in my laptop case for the inevitable flight delays where i burn through the iPhone or iPad power. I got this when it was on its 50% off sale so you can keep watching for that if they run it again. I don't know if i'd pay $100 for it.

For $12, this monoprice battery is hard to beat. Small, lightweight, simple. The only downside is that you have to remove the case around the iPhone, I wish it had a slightly longer neck. And although I appear to be the official monoprice representative, I'm not, I just like their selection, price, speed, and low shipping costs.

Perhaps, but in any case Im not hitting that site and making what I think are good recommendations so it's got a low problem threshold. ;)

I always buy extra batteries whenever I go travel just in case I spend more time taking pictures using my Iphone.
