And we・ve seen our fair share of external battery packs for iPhone models, some looking better than others and most of them doubling as a convenient iPhone case. But none of them had this particular cool feature the Icon Battery Pack concept has.
As you can see in the picture above, the Icon Battery Pack for iPhone shows exactly how much juice is left to squeeze from your extra battery. That・s a nice perk and hopefully the whole trick doesn・t itself consume too much of that precious energy that・s expected to be transferred to your iPhone.
The device uses EL lighting technology and thus it・s able to show the power status on the display and it can offer you an additional talk time of up to 3 hours and audio playback for up to 18 hours. The device should be compatible with most iPhone models and we・d love to hear more about pricing and availability.
Just to give you some perspective on the Icon Battery Pack・s performance, here are the official numbers for the iPhone 4 battery:
Talk time:
1000mah
Up to 7 hours on 3G
Up to 14 hours on 2G
Standby time: Up to 300 hours
Internet use:
Up to 6 hours on 3G
Up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
Video playback: Up to 10 hours
Audio playback: Up to 40 hours
