Never Get Caught with a Dead Cellphone Again

March 21 -- For anyone who has ever had a cellphone die in action (and who hasn't?), here's a completely new concept: a backup battery that comes fully charged out of the package, lasts up to five times longer than standard rechargeables, and is simply discarded when it's out of juice. Just carry an Instant Power Disposable Cellphone Battery from Electric Fuel Corporation, and never get stuck without power again.
Utilizing patented technology that activates the fuel inside the battery by drawing oxygen from the atmosphere through distinctive holes in the case, these breakthrough batteries snap into place like regular power sources, weigh less than four ounces, and have a 3300 mAh (milli-Ampere-hours) capacity that far exceeds the typical rechargeable's 700 to 900 mAh. That translates into as much as 16 hours of talk time and up to 25 days of standby* -- more than any other cellphone battery on the market.

Instant Power batteries also eliminate the need to carry a charger when traveling, wait for the phone to charge, or worry about leaving the charging cradle in a hotel room. Offering a two-year shelf life and an environmentally safe composition with no hazardous compounds, they are the ideal emergency and backup power solution for business travelers, vacationers, outdoor adventurers who lack easy access to an electrical outlet, and anyone else who relies on a cellphone to stay in touch.

Instant Power Disposable Cellphone Batteries are currently available for many Nokia, Samsung, Ericsson and Motorola phones at an MSRP of $16.95 (US). They are sold in Circuit City, CompUSA, Fred Myers, CarToys and other retail stores; at Wal-Mart under the EverActive brand name; at the Carphone Warehouse, BT Retail, and other cellular and retail stores in the UK; and online at www.iGo.com and www.electric-fuel.com . They are also widely available in Israel and will soon be distributed throughout Europe. For more information, visit www.electric-fuel.com .
