You love your iPhone, but the limiting factor is the battery life. That big beautiful touch screen is the biggest battery suck and making phone calls is only part of your Apple addiction. Games, internet, movies, and music are all part of the appeal, but that darn battery is always limiting your playtime.

Apple’s website lists a long list of tips that will help extend the life of your battery. Things they call “commonsense pointers” include things like disabling the use of GPS, turning off wi-fi, or even turning off 3G! Those features are what make the iPhone such a useful gadget.

After 300 to 500 charges, a lithium-ion battery life time is reduced by 20%. While that is not a large loss of battery life, for power users who make use of all the multimedia capabilities on their iPhones, it means they’ll be seeing that little read battery icon a lot sooner as their iPhone ages.

The race between battery technology and mobile capabilities has left users scrambling for outlets, but plugging in is not always an option.

While external battery packs can provide hours of use, they are all limited because those batteries eventually run out of juice and then you are left with an even heavier iPhone brick.

The Surge for iPhone is a battery & solar charging hybrid. By “hybrid” we mean you can not only make use of an external iPhone battery, but access to make use of the world’s most valuable renewable energy. The sun!

This innovative iPhone accessory will start shipping around the middle of December 2009. If you have any questions about the Surge, contact us on our website, Twitter, Facebook, or via Get Satisfaction.
