Few things ruin an average day worse than a dead battery, putting the kibosh not only on our fun but our productivity and basic communication. Recharging can be a tricky affair, requiring cables, an AC outlet or perhaps a car cigarette lighter adapter, but then of course we also need to wait in one place until charging completes, which can be a world-class patience tester.
