PowerBlockReserve.jpg

Sometimes you need a little extra power, and that's certainly true if you're an iPhone user. Make some calls, play some games, watch some video, and your favorite portable is out of juice long before the end of the day.

To help you out, Griffin Technology has introduced two clever charging options. The first, the PowerBlock Reserve, is a wall charger with a snap-off reserve battery. Use it to power up your iPhone or iPod as you normally would, then take the reserve battery with you when you go. When you run out of power, you can simply plug the reserve battery to the iPhone or iPod's dock connector for extra running time.

The PowerJolt Reserve is similar to the PowerBlock Reserve, but it powers through your car's cigarette lighter. When you're finished charging, you can snap off the reserve battery and take it with you.

The PowerBlock Reserve isn't yet available, but will be soon. The PowerJolt Reserve is sold out on the Griffin site, but is available at Apple's online and retail stores. Both sell for $39.99. Griffin also sells a combination of both devices, called PowerDuo Reserve, for $59.99. It's currently available in Apple's retail stores.
