Yo iPhone Users: Awesome Deal on Backup Battery

We realize that a sale on iPhone batteries does not necessarily qualify as the bleeding-edge of BMX News, for which we are internationally known. But, BMXers spend a lot of time on planes, in the car traveling to nationals, or in the pits waiting for the next go-round.

All that hurry-up-and-wait equates to a lot of texting, talking, video watching and gaming on your iPhones. A dead battery doesn’t help anyone, so on that basis, we bring you this “quick hit” on a killer deal we found this morning on an external; backup battery for your iPhone (or iPod Touch).

According to tech gadget site, ZDnet, the Richard Solo 1800 is an external battery that will top-off your iPhone to full charge in 15-30 minutes. It ships with the battery, USB cable, car charger and wall charger. The battery also has a built-in LED flashlight and laser pointer.

Watch the video:

The product is on Amazon right now for $25, and has 15 five-star reviews, so it seems legit.

The ZDnet article had a discount code– “fireworks” — so you can get one for $13 (including shipping). We picked up two for $17 and change.

Here is the link to order one up.
Don’t forget to use the discount code (fireworks) at checkout.

Enjoy that JFK-CPH hop later this month, and have a full battery on landing.
