Mobile chargers?

[Guytronic]

I was curious.
Do a number of you use the mobile chargers to keep your phones topped up?
I seldom use the wall chargers anymore if I can keep my batts charged.

These things are pretty cheap now+they have been a lifesaver once or twice on the go.

Anyone else seeing a good benefit?

I definitely see a benefit to mobile chargers. However, I don't use one. With my Z10 I had an external battery charger and swapped batteries. Without that, I wouldn't have survived. I've often thought about getting a mobile charger/battery pack, but if I plan on being out late or something I just charge my phone in my down time.

Depends on your lifestyle I guess. Normally able to keep fully charged at home or in the car or works van. One time I do appreciate standalone charging backup is a weekend event away from mains power when I use my portable car jump starter which has a couple of AUX out sockets I can use for charging.

Yoop.
There's always the car I guess.
We RV\camp quite a bit, so we are often not close to a plug.

One of the reasons I got the mobile chargers is because I've seen hikers or other campers crowded around the plugs at the bathrooms etc...

Last year I was walking the dogs past an empty camp spot close to us (we had power at ours) and there was a phone plugged to a charger.
A guy yelled out from the tent spots "that's mine" LOL...guess he didn't have a car charger.

Haha! If you know you're not going to be near outlets for extended periods of time then they're perfect. Throw your phone in your bag with the charger and you're good to go!

Hmmm...
...forgot about a portable jump starter.
Good idea there!
