Productive people typically use their phones for everything, all day long, so it should come as no surprise that sometimes we look down to see a draining battery alert at 10:30 a.m. That's why a great external phone charger can be invaluable to stay on track.

This is one of our favorites because it has three USB ports (including one for Quick Charge) and holds enough to power to quickly re-juice a dead iPhone three times. So you don't have to skimp on your phone usage while waiting for a flight in fear of a declining battery.
