Cell Phone Batteries & ChargersCell phone batteries have come a long way - extended talk time, more standby time, light weight, smaller footprint and longer life. But batteries have a long way to go yet, to keep up with the growing power demands of today's multi-purpose mobile phones.
Soldius Golf Bags are said to be the world's first and only golf bags with a built-in solar charger for cell phones and BlackBerry smartphones. Using available sunshine, your mobile device battery gets charged while you play a round of golf. Available at mysoldius, the golf bags come with battery charging tips compatible with mobile phones and Blackberries, including most Nokia, Samsung, Sony-Ericsson, Siemens and Motorola phones. Said Don Doney, president of mySoldius: "Cell phones and Blackberries keep people connected with the world around them and the time spent playing a typical round of golf will enable an individual to fully charge a mobile device."
The cell phone trend study, conducted in 15 countries during July and August 2005, was undertaken to uncover what would drive consumer demand for mobile devices in the future, as well as benchmark brand performance and use of existing mobile phone, PDA and laptop applications. According to the study, after battery life, the next most important features to U.S. users were high-resolution camera and video camera (50 percent of respondents); the availability of full versions of Microsoft Office applications on the device (42 percent); and a device with 20 Gigabytes of memory (41 percent).
Guidelines For Battery CareTo promote the safe use of cell phones, batteries and chargers, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and CTIA-The Wireless Association, the trade organization representing various facets of the wireless industry, recommend the following:
Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries, commonly found in the latest cellular phones, are more sensitive to physical stress than alkaline batteries found in toys and flashlights and need to be treated with more care.
Secondly, be sure to match replacement cell phone batteries and chargers to your specific phone make and model. Look for Internet sites that let you search for mobile phone batteries and chargers by manufacturer and model.
