Posted by Jody Mitoma on May 7, 2008 at 5:57 pm

You and I both know that the iPhone’s battery isn’t the most reliable of all mobile batteries. That is where Kennsington comes in. The company is in production of two seperate battery pack sizes which fit both, the iPhone and the iPod Touch.

The standard battery pack and charger is a larger stand-alone battery that connects to the iPhone via a dock cable and offers “playing time up to 100 hours of music; 21 hours of video; 6 hours of talk.” (see left)

The smaller battery pack connects right into the products dock connector, adding 3 hours of additional battery power. (see left)

Key features of the Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod include:

• Listen and talk more - The rechargeable Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod extends play time on your iPhone or iPod with up to one hundred hours of music, twenty-one hours of video and six hours of extra talk time.
• Convenient - The Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod attaches to your iPod or iPhone, adding more battery life with less hassle than having to carry extra cords or adapters around with you. The device works with iPhone and current iPod models, including iPod with video, and iPod nano.
• Making charging simple - An AC power adapter with USB allows you to recharge your lithium ion polymer battery pack. A dock connector is also included so you can power and charge your iPhone or iPod while you are recharging your battery pack.
• Compact - This condensed device fits easily into handbags, backpacks or briefcases and weighs just over three ounces.

Key features of the Mini Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod include:

• Have more play time - The Mini Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod extends play time on your iPhone or iPod with up to thirty hours of music, six hours of video and three hours of extra talk time without having to be connected to cumbersome power source.
• Handiness Factor - The Mini Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod, is similar to the original Battery Pack and Charger yet is smaller and attaches right onto your iPod or iPhone. The biggest benefit to the consumer is the ability to keep the Mini Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod plugged in at all times. Use it while you’re talking on your iPhone or out and about with your iPod; it is extra power when you really need it. Just plug and play!
• Power it up - A rechargeable lithium ion polymer battery increases energy efficiency. The Mini Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod plugs right into your iPhone or iPod and then into a power source, using the included retractable USB cable; enabling powering and charging at the same time. A battery meter displays your remaining power level.
• Compact and Light - This device fits easily into handbags, backpacks and coat pockets. The dimensions are 2 3/8″ x 2 1/2″ x 3/8″ and it only weighs an ounce and a half.

Pre-order the standard battery pack here for $69.99, or the smaller battery pack here for $49.99.

I think I’ll be getting me one of them smaller battery packs once I’ve purchased my upcoming 3G iPhone in the near future.
