Duracell offer several types of rechargeable batteries but my favourite is the super portable pocket charger. You can keep it in your handbag and if you’re ever out and about and your mobile or iPod dies you can charge it up and away you go.  You get up to 100% charge with your Nano and up to 50% with your Blackberry. It comes with 2xAA ultra cells and is available for £19.99.

Got one of the new iPhones? Is the battery life in need of a boost ? Well, fret no more, help is at hand with the all new Apple certified ‘Juice Pack 3G’ from Mophie. The juice pack is a battery in the form of a non slip soft grip case.
