Top iPhone and iPod batteries: Beatweek 75

The top rated batteries for iPhone and iPod on the market as of June 2010:

FastMac TruePower iV • battery cradle • $99: It’s thick, it’s awkwardly shaped, and it’ll barely fit into your pocket if your pants are on the tighter side, but it triples the battery life of your iPhone (or iPod touch), making it indispensable for power users who struggle to make it even partway through the day on a single charge of their battery. Bonus: built-in camera flash and secondary USB charging port built-in.

Mophie Juice Pack Air • battery case • $79: It offers not quite double the battery life of your iPhone 3G or 3GS, but its slim profile (for a battery anyway) and case-like design make it a great way for more casual users to add a significant amount of life to their daily iPhone experience without adding any more bulk than necessary. And you’ve got to love any battery that comes in optional purple.

Just Mobile Gum Pro and Gum Plus • battery bricks • $59-69: If you’re looking for a battery brick to sit next to your iDevice rather than wrapping around it, Just Mobile’s Gum Pro and Gum Plus represent the best value propositions on the market. Either model will quadruple the battery of a fully charged iPhone, especially handy for traveling. Gum Plus (pictured) above is brushed metal, while Gum Pro is all all-black number.

MiLi Power Pack • battery cradle • $67: It doesn’t offer as much juice as the competing TruePower, but MiLi’s Power Pack is sleeker, more colorful, and more fun. We’re still waiting for a perfect iPhone battery cradle to come to market (and may have to wait until iPhone 4 batteries arrive later this year for that to happen), but for now this is a strong option as far as lightweight battery cradles.
