Got myself the Mophie Juice Pack Air after long last. I really need an extra battery pack as my iPhone battery runs out fast (less than 24 hours sometimes) especially when I am on the road.

The Mophine Juice Pack Air may not be the best in the market as compared to the True Power iV which has enough power for up to 30 days standby but it’s comes with a very slim battery pack that fits on the iPhone like a cover. Many won’t notice the difference but on closer inspection, one will notice that the phone is slightly thicker.

The Juice Pack can be used in two modes - standby and charge. In standby mode, the iPhone will use the internal battery first and once it depleted, with a flick of a switch, the battery pack will start charging the iPhone. On the charge mode, the iPhone will constantly charge the iPhone battery and uses the Juice Pack battery until it’s empty before using the internal battery. Both modes have pros and cons, the standby mode provides longer battery life but needs to manually switch over while the charging mode is “switch and forget” but has a shorter battery life.

More importantly, I am now happy that I have a longer battery life (almost double) on my iPhone.
