I've been doing some research for ultra-portable batteries. What does this mean? It should be convenient to carry by being very small (pocketable) and also having a built-in micro USB plug or cable. This prevents the need to carry an additional charging cable too. Since these are tiny, they are not suitable for full or multiple charge cycles. Rather, they are to be used as a last resort for a quick 30-50% (or more) battery. They won't have a built-in AC wall adapter either. Finally, if you don't mind carrying a USB cable then I strongly suggest you choose another, more reliable, brand's charger. There are many-MANY-many better options that these which are often sold for less money at higher capacities. Small form-factors are pricey due to their convenience and tech-limitations.

Here's some of my findings below. Again, do your own research if you do choose to buy one. I can't make any recommendations as I haven't finalized my decision yet. Some of these may be unreliable or unproven brands. Always check reviews and customer comments for further insight.

  • Lepow Moonstone (3000 mAh) [Amazon] - No built-in USB but very-high-quality and good ratings
