Modern smartphones such as the iPhone 4S are capable of performing a variety of different tasks. The phone can be used to browse the internet, record video and act as a satellite navigation device. The problem with offering so many features is that it can have quite a drastic effect on battery life with most smartphone batteries only lasting about 24 hours. Sony have now launched a superb accessory to help you revive your phone if it runs out of battery and you have no access to a charger or a mains supply.
The Sony CP-ELS is a portable power supply designed for the iPhone 4S and Android devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S2. The charger incorporates a powerful 2000mAh Lithium-ion battery that can be charged from a USB socket on a computer or laptop. The CP-ELS features an LED indicator which let the user know if the unit is fully charged. once the unit is charged you can remove the USB plug and put the device to one side ready for the time that you will need to use it. The next time your iPhone runs out of battery you can simply plug it into your fully charged CP-ELS which will charge the battery for you without needing a mains electricity supply or a computer. It will take approximately 6 hours to fully charge the battery of the phone but many people will just want to use it to provide power so that they can make an important call or send an e mail. when using the CP-ELS as a power supply it will give you about 60 minutes of use from your phone which is more than enough time for most people to carry out that important task. The Sony CP-ELS is available now and retails for 39.00.
The iPhone 4S struggles to deliver the performance times from its battery that consumers would like to see. Features phones released before smartphones were introduced were renowned for giving users days worth of use between charges. These phones only used small screen and did not feature powerful processors and internet connectivity which is why battery life was so impressive. Modern phones are boasting more features than ever and manufacturers are also attempting to make the devices as lightweight as possible which also restricts the size of the battery that is used. The iPhone 4S uses a 1420mAh battery which can provide users with approximately 200 hours of standby time. this figure sounds pretty impressive but it does reduce drastically when you actually use the phone. The talktime on the model is approximately 8hours. when you take these two figures into account it is fair to say that the average user can expect around 24 hours from the iPhone battery with a mixture of call time, internet browsing and use of multi media features.
The new Sony CP-ELS is a great innovation for the iPhone 4S and Android devices. It is a perfect accessory for people who find themselves travelling and commuting regularly and ensures that your phone should never be out of action, even when the battery has died.
