I’m betting that many of you are in the learning stage with your new gadget you got for Christmas. Maybe that’s an iPhone, iPad or some sort of Android device. There are others, I know. If you can power it up via a usb cable connection then here’s my choice of a very useful device to stick in your bag for when your gadget runs out of juice.

It’s the Hyperjuice Micro. Cindy and I each carry one with us and I use it frequently, especially during a very active day of agriblogging and when I’m on a tour bus and there are no other power outlet options. I started out with a Hyperjuice Mini which I still have but I like the smaller Micro. It has two usb ports so you can plug in two gadgets at the same time to power them up. In my experience, my devices generally charge back up quickly.

There are special gadget covers that include an extra battery in them but I don’t like the extra bulk, including the “thin” ones. I like my slim case on my iPhone and I’d rather stick one of these in my jacket pocket if I’m going to be somewhere I can’t have my gear bag handy.

Your gadget is only good if it’s got power. True AgNerds know the importance of this. Don’t have to say, “My Phone is dead” because you ran out of juice!

Available in 10 different juicy colors and housed in an exquisite aluminum casing, HyperJuice Micro is equipped with one high power and one low power USB port that can charge the iPad and iPhone or any USB device. You will be spoiled for choice finding the right color to match your USB device.

How do you address the need to power your gadget up out in the field or on the road?

You’ll find lots of other useful gadget devices at HyperShop besides HyperJuice.
