So you’re on the phone with your girlfriend and you’re in the middle of this heated argument, when all of a sudden, your phone signals that it’s about to die. You keep trying to interrupt her to tell her that your phone is going to cut off, but she won’t listen to you. You keep yelling, “My phone is about to die!” and she’s all, “Stop interrupting me!” and then, well, you know what happens next. That’s right, your phone dies because you left your charger over at her place and she assumes that you hung up on her because you didn’t agree with her PETA propaganda (which may or may not actually be true). Regardless of your stance on animal rights, now that your phone is charged, your girlfriend won’t take your calls. Might this have been avoided, you ask?
Well if you had the Emergency Charger (Firebox.com, $9.95), then you might not be in the middle of a silent showdown. This cute little device is powered by a single AA battery, and can give your cell phone up to two hours of extra talk time. That’s right, from one teeny weeny little battery, you can sustain anything from a meaningful conversation about Freud’s Oedipus complex to a quick call to the local cab company to secure a chariot ride home for the evening. I know, some of you are thinking, “Hmm, that adapter doesn’t look like it would fit my phone, how unfair!” But slow down, don’t get yourself all worked up over nothing because this charger comes with four different adapter leads, which just about guarantees that you’ll find one to fit your phone. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, here’s how it works: you put a AA battery in the charger, connect the appropriate adapter to both the charger and your phone, and you’re in business.
It all seems a little too simple, doesn’t it? Well, I wish I could tell you that there was some ridiculously hard way to go about using this product, but nope, it’s just that easy. Now, if only resurrecting your disaster-prone relationship was that simple…
