On a recent seven-plus hour drive to Buffalo, New York I was able to to really test out the new myCharge Summit 3000 rechargeable battery pack. I have tinkered with a few other devices in the past but none have seemed to work well for me. On my trip, however, the unthinkable happened. My GPS failed and my iPhone died. Earlier that day I had received the myCharge and luckily had chosen to leave the office with it. I plugged the device into the wall and, to my surprise, it spoke. The device tells you when it is charging and when it's fully charged, a really cool feature as sometimes you plug in a device and forget about it during the course of a day. Fast forward to the side of a random highway three hours into my trip. I plugged my iPhone into the myCharge and have never been happier to have this device on me. It saved my life as I had no idea where I was and could use the map on the iPhone to navigate the rest of my trip.

With regards to attending music festivals and traveling the myCharge is a bit big so you cannot really fit it in your pocket but if you attend festivals with a backpack or bag to carry essentials, this is perfect to bring along and ensure that you are never without battery. As a traveler this is a no-brainer to throw into a briefcase or piece of carry-on luggage. Check out the product features below and purchase HERE.
