It’s con/festival/camping/theme park season, which means it’s time to talk about portable chargers. While most modern phones can easily hold a charge for a full day, that may not be enough during these events. Throughout a festival or trip to a theme park, you may find yourself browsing or uploading to social media more frequently or playing Candy Crush as you wait for lines to let in to the attraction (or bathroom). While camping, your outlet access may be limited and watching downloaded content from Netflix or reading an e-book during your much deserved downtime is going to be draining on your battery. Of course, if you’re a hardcore convention goer, it could be more than 24 hours before you even see your expensive hotel room again and shoddy reception, picture-taking, video recording and minimizing the boredom of endless queues means you’re definitely going to need a boost before you have access to an outlet — because who really wants to be tied to that one spot on the wall with a plug when their battery finally reaches critical.
