Monstrous iPhone Battery Saves your Day!

c9f0_monstrous_iphone_batteryThere is no doubt about the fact that iPhone is one of the most popular cell phone out there. Why? Simply because, there’s an app for everything and for everything, there’s an app. But it can barely last a day without running out of juice. If used as a cell phone, for the primary purpose that it has been designed for, the battery life would be fine and will last for 2-3 days. But if it’s use as a portable computer [which for sure most iPhone owners are doing], for checking email, web browsing, playing games etc, expect that you’ll run out of juice before the end of the day. So what is the solution? Adjust brightness [dimming the screen is one way to extend battery life], turn off Bluetooth, turn off WiFi, turn off 3G, turn off push mail, and turn off push notifications when not used as these processes consumes battery and shutting them down will give a little boost in back up time. But how can you make the most of your iPhone’s features if you’ll do all these tips just to be able to optimize battery performance?

Well, here’s the answer – the Monstrous iPhone Battery! It will make sure your iPhone lasts all day long. And night. And perhaps into the next day. The Monstrous iPhone Battery is a lithium powered rechargeable battery extender with a whopping 3000mAh capacity. In layman’s term, that means 8.5 hours of talk time or 8.5 hours of online time or about 40 hours of audio playback. It features LED indicators showing you the power remaining, it uses your own Apple cable [USB – Dock cable] to charge, and it comes in black high-gloss finish to match your iPhone’s exterior.
