Not everything was better in the old days, but some things were easier. Do you remember the days when you could text and play Snake all day, –and your mobile only needed charging once a week? Of course, these days, (thanks to smartphones), we are busy being connected to the whole world (so there's no time left for playing Snake anyway!). The real snag though, is that these nice modern devices with their high-resolution colour displays are thirsty little beasties and want to be charged every day!

And sometimes even the very thought that your battery might die in the day and leave you 'isolated' (like some kind of retro cave man!) from the rest of the world is enough to cause palpitations and stress! OMG, –you might even find yourself reading the ads on the bus!

But don't worry... help is at hand. We've got a spare can for your smartphone.

Huh...? A spare can?!

Yep! And this tiny can provides a pack o' juice. Well, a battery with a micro USB jack. Plug in your smartphone and charge it up and you'll be back in the real world! –...and stylishly too thanks to this funky can! Choose from 2 colours: martial green or red alert.

This emergency recharger is charged via USB. You just need a standard micro USB cable (not included).

For once, we say thanks to the EU for the Common external power supply which makes any mobile adapter needless.

One charge from the can provides about 20–30 minutes talk time. It goes without saying that it will last even longer with passive use. The battery in the can keeps its charge for at least a month. To charge the smartphone, just open the lid and connect it to your phone. Important: the small switch has to be turned. When the control light illuminates, the smartphone gets charged. The battery has a capacity of 220 mAh and a max. discharge of 600mA.

And just to make sure you always have extra charge to hand, the can can (get it?!) be attached to your key ring.
