Re: External Battery charger
Its useful if you don't want to have a USB battery pack hanging out of the phone when extending your battery time.
You could pick up a 640 with a damaged screen or similar to use as a battery charger. Most people don't bother, they just get a USB battery pack.

Re: External Battery charger
If you charge it up and throw it in your go bag, it should last some time before needing a charge again.
However, if you are using the spare all the time then an external battery charger would be best.

Re: External Battery charger
I have a universal cell phone battery charger myself, for the spare Lumia 640 battery that I have. It is rather handy to swap out and stay un-tethered to a cable while you keep going with your day.
However, I sometimes find myself working on something and using my phone when the battery gets low, and I can't afford to temporarily shut off the phone, like when I'm on a long conference call or the like. For those times, if I don't have access to electrical power or I'm needing to be on the move, I plug in a portable battery pack to keep it charged up, like when I'm doing some grocery shopping and my wife is on the phone, for example. I use a Bluetooth earpiece so I don't have to hold the phone to my ear with a cable. I keep a leather holster pouch for my phone on my belt, and a cable from that holster goes to the next holster on my belt with the power pack. Very convenient for those situations, which are not often, but do happen.
I have 2 spare batteries for the 640 that I keep charged, along with separate power packs to give extra power to my phone that add up to about 65,000mAh. If I go camping off the grid for 2 weeks, I'd still be okay as far as my phone charge goes.
