Battery Backup/Charger

Years ago, we used to carry printed maps to help us navigate to our different destinations. Thankfully those days are over! Now we navigate using our phone’s GPS system with Maps to show us where we are and how to get to our next destination. Using your phone’s navigation can quickly drain your phone's battery, leaving you lost and without power.

Our Mobile Trip Profile can be heavily dependent on using your phones GPS Navigation to guide you around. For example, you may navigate to your hotel when you arrive in a new location. If you have carefully planned a checklist of sites in viewing order, you can easily navigate to each site with a single click. If you are out for the entire day, you will more than likely find that all this navigation is quickly draining your phone’s battery.

As a tip, carry a charging plug with you. You will find that many restaurants and even trains have USB or electrical plugs located conveniently throughout the area.
This is essential.  To be on the safe side and for peace of mind, it is smart to carry a small Battery Backup/Charger with you. These chargers will add a little weight to your backpack but it’s minimal and you will be glad you have it should you need it.

There are several different battery backup/chargers available in various strengths, weights, shapes, and sizes. Shop around and find something that works for you. We have the one shown below and have been very happy with it. It will charge our phone to 100% one or more times.
