The budget cell phone chargers they were selling at the LA County Fair for $20 were junk. My wife goes several times, so she exchanged hers, only to have the second one fail. I hope you guys have better luck.

I had a daughter in college in a remote part of MI and have another at USNA. Both went/go for extended periods of time without 110v. I got them both Mophie battery packs that will recharge an iPhone 2.5 times. For myself I have a very small Mophie good for about a half of a recharge. Waht I like about it is that it's very small and has a built in lightning cable and a built in USB like a thumb drive. Mophie makes good products.

FWIW - anyone else have trouble with cheap lightning cables?
