Cell phone chargers are getting smaller all the time—who’s going to make the first one that’s actually in the phone , with little flip-out prongs like my charger already has? I’d jump at the added size/weight/bulk of my current charger for the ability to just plug my phone into the wall.

Car chargers

Chargers that you can use with a car battery are common, but AA battery-powered cell-phone chargers are a good backup when your car battery is dead and you don’t have electrical access.

Top quality chargers

Many of the top quality chargers use an integrated chip that charges a 600 mAH phone battery from empty to full in less than an hour.

Go green

Cell phone chargers are still sucking energy even when your phone is not plugged in. But you don’t have to run around and unplug everything, just remember to unplug the charger once your phone battery if full. This method will prevent the loss of energy and it will save you money.

Solar cell phone chargers

Solar cell phone chargers are a must during an emergency. They can charge your cell phone without the need for electricity.

Solar chargers are available which are almost of the size of a small lipstick. Even cell phone chargers for a heavy power use of 10 adapters have become available which are great for an instant cell phone recharge in the times of emergencies.
