Extend Your iPhone Battery Charge

We can get right to the point here on the iPhone battery. The three best ways to extend a charge on the iPhone battery life are:

1) A car charger
2) An external battery pack
3) Spare chargers wherever you happen to spend your days.

We're using more iPhones at On-Site Technical Solutions and we're finding that complaints about battery life are justified. When we bought the first one at the Apple store the genius (that is what they're called, no?) suggested we connect to WiFi networks as much as possible. That uses less battery than the 3G network. But it still won't get your heavily used iPhone through the day without a recharge.

Here is the official Apple link on iPhone batteries, where they tell us, "The most important thing is to keep your iPhone out of the sun or a hot car (including the glove box). Heat will degrade your battery’s performance the most."

iSmashPhone has a nice summary of what's practical and what's not in trying to keep that iPhone running at this link.
