How do you stay 'live' with your mobile across the day? Batteries and all.

After last week’s podcast featuring Dan Lane of Howler Tech, we got on to the subject of power. Dan carries, if I’m remembering correctly, multiple laptop batteries wherever he goes. Wherever.

So if he goes out, he’s got bucketloads of juice.

SMS Text News contributor, James Whatley, is never without 2-3 fully charged Nokia N95 8GB batteries. He has them in his pocket like you and I do with our wallets. It’s second nature to him. He also carries a stand-alone battery charger, too, so he doesn’t need to charge his batteries in the phone (giving him more phone-use time).

I’m wondering what other ‘stay live’ techniques people use when they’re out and about. I went and bought a load of (fake, it turns out) batteries for my E90 a little while ago to adopt James’ strategy. It would have worked well if the batteries were genuine and held a charge.

Have you got any smart techniques we should all be adopting?
