Emergency Charger
Dead mobile? AA (battery) to the rescue!
Isn't a shame you can't shove a regular AA battery in your mobile phone when it runs out of juice? Well, with the forehead-slappingly simple Emergency Charger you can do exactly that - sort of.
Just bung an AA battery in this über-chic aluminium tube, attach it to your phone or iPod (using one of the many included adaptors) and hey presto - up to two hours of extra talk time is whooshed into your beloved mobi. Good, eh! Charging time varies depending on your handset but it's usually about the same as a mains charger.
Cheap as chips, the take-anywhere Emergency Charger is one of those devices you may not need today, tomorrow, or even next week. But need it you will because boffins have yet to invent a phone battery that lasts indefinitely. (Although Jack Bauer's seems to do okay).
Just pop the Emergency Charger in your pocket along with your keys, cash and mobile phone or iPod (obviously) and relax, safe in the knowledge AA batteries are available virtually anywhere on the planet. That's assuming you're reading this from Earth - if not, we strongly suggest you check their availability before ordering.
Armed with this sleek little gizmo you'll never have to worry about running out of juice during vital conversations or rock sessions. Who knows, you could be desperate for a taxi, talking to the love of your life, phoning home, or eager to discuss the latest goings on in the Big Brother house (a ten second call, max). The point is, the Emergency Charger is powered by one of the most readily available power sources in the world. Just load up and get charging. You'll wonder how you ever managed without it.
Takes just one AA battery

"only £6.99... small enough to shove in your pocket or clutch... You should get around half a phone battery charge out of it. Not bad for something so cheap!"Dork Adore - Nov '10
"Reduce the risk of your phone or iPod dying with this excellent portable charger."What Laptop - Sep '08
"Great for festivals."London Lite - Aug '07

On the 23rd February 2011, you said this wouldn't work with an HTC Desire (etc) because they were too powerful. Then on the 15th June, you said it would work with an HTC Desire HD- which is a more powerful, higher spec phone. Which is it?Anna, London - 14th November 2011
Firebox says: Hi Anna, sorry for the confusion over that -- we've spoken to the suppliers and they have confirmed that it isn't powerful enough to charge the HTC Desire HD. We'll amend the earlier response as well now.
Does this charger work with the new samsung galaxy S2 phone?Louise, Herts - 9th October 2011
Firebox says: Hi Louise, unfortunately the AA battery will not be powerful enough to charge the Samsung Galaxy S2
Hi I was going to order this charger for my son but cant see his make of Blackberry on there, its a Blackberry Curve 8520 smartphone, can you advise me please? Thankyou!Karen, Lancs - 21st September 2011
Firebox says: The MicroUSB connection should be just fine with that model, Karen.
Will this work with a blackberry bold 9700? Thanks !Dan, Ferndown - 8th September 2011
Firebox says: Sure will Dan.
Is this compatible with the Motorola defy?Tom Almeida, London - 19th August 2011
Firebox says: Hi Tom, the Emergency Charger comes with a micro USB adapter, so it is definitely compatible with the Motorola defy!
Not sure if this is compatible with my phone even after looking at the list of compatible phones. So is the Motorola Flipout a compatible phone?Tia, - 12th August 2011
Firebox says: The micro USB connector should work fine, Tia.
Hi, will this work with the Nokia N8? Thx.Jay, Essex - 11th August 2011
Firebox says: Sure will Jay.
Will this work with a HTC 7 Pro? My phone has a mini USB but is not listed in the compatible devices.Barry, United Kingdom - 3rd August 2011
Firebox says: Sure will Barry.
I am 10 years old and used all my pocket money on this. Once I got it, it had a loose connection. I'm gutted about this.Ritchie, - 2nd August 2011
Firebox says: We can't seem to find your order Ritchie, drop us an email with the order number to info@firebox.com and we'll look into it.
Do you know if it works with the Blackberry Torch ? I know is not on the list but, there is no harm in asking ;D.Sarah-jane, Nantwich - 20th July 2011
Firebox says: It looks like the Torch uses a micro USB cable, in which case it'll be fine.
