How to become even more mobile, or what to do if there is no 220V outlet nearby?

I think many of us are familiar with such a situation, when suddenly you find out that your phone or Internet tablet is about to be depleted, and this happens, unfortunately, at the most inappropriate moment for this.
What to do if you need to recharge the battery, for example, sitting at a seminar away from the outlet, at a picnic away from the on-board network of the car, where there is no possibility to stick the usual 220V charging?

Having experienced on myself when a discharged battery destroys all plans, in this article I want to tell you about the external batteries that I liked most and are capable of helping out in such situations.


Since I need a universal device, I will not consider those external batteries that are “sharpened” for a specific phone, I will not consider charging a manual-driven dynamo, I will not consider overall and heavy devices, I will not consider low-efficiency devices solar powered.

What I need? Compact and universal device with built-in USB connector, with which I can easily charge my phone, tablet, etc.
