MY FAVORITE PORTABLE BATTERY CHARGERS

Below are two great smartphone and tablet chargers. One trim and inexpensive and one solar. Both can be purchased from the Store on AskAbbyStokes.com.

PNY T2200 Universal Rechargeable Battery Charger – under $10

The PNY battery charger is so trim and light, along with an irresistible price, that I bought a few. I distributed them between my handbag, travel gear, and glove box so I always have a way to charge my smartphone or tablet within reach.

Solio Bolt Battery Pack + Solar Charger

A great solar battery from Solio at a slightly lower price point that the Classic2 (also available in my store). This charger isn’t just for the iPhone. It’ll charge thousands of USB devices.
