Power banks, as small as some of them are, can add weight to your pockets, bags, and might not necessarily be that comfortable or convenient to carry around. An alternative solution would be to turn to battery cases, although those can be pretty bulky and heavy as well. So wouldn’t it be awesome if you could charge your mobile device using a regular battery?
Well if you agree that such an accessory would be a boon, then perhaps the Plan V charger could be of interest to you. Plan V is essentially an accessory for mobile devices that is small enough to fit onto a keychain. What sets it apart is that it is able to charge mobile devices using a 9-volt battery that you can easily pick up from any store.
According to its creators, they are estimating that a 9-volt battery should be more than enough to provide you with as much as four additional hours of talk time on your phone, so if you need to make an emergency phone call and your phone is running out of juice, then Plan V should be more than capable of getting the job done.
The Kickstarter project has managed to raise close to $30,000 and is a few thousand away from its goal, so if you’d like to make Plan V a reality, then be sure to hit up its Kickstarter page or check out the video above to learn more about it. So, any takers?
