The Richard Solo1800 is a combined emergency backup battery and intelligent charger “in one” meaning that it can be used in situations where you need portable power to keep your iPhone or iPod working where you do not have access to traditional mains power (e.g. on Aeroplanes, trains, cars, airports, travelling in remote areas etc). Is a compact and slim unit measuring only 95mm * 50mm * 10mm
It more than DOUBLES the talk time, application time or music capability of your iPhone or iPod - Simply connect the RichardSolo to the iPhone, then connect the RichardSolo to the charger, and charge both with one charger. The unit simply latches onto your iPhone/iPod with the integral support brace included with the kit. Unlike a traditional “iPhone Case” that sits on the back of the phone, it does not weaken reception and transmission of the phone call. This is a superior “Apple certified” product which should not be confused with cheaper non-certified batteries which could potentially damage your iPhone or iPod. It is the only Backup battery that is certified and tested by Apple for use with iPhone 2G, 3G and the new iPhone 4 and all iPod models except the iPod Shuffle.
It has a huge 1800 mAh of capacity to meet the highest power demands and includes three colour LED lights to show you the status of the charge, which is enough to completely charge your iPhone and have reserve power left over.
It comes complete with a dual-USB car charger, and a retractable USB cable allowing you charge it in your car, computer or via the USB mains adapter originally supplied with your iPhone / iPod plus a built in LED flashlight and laser pointer.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: (applies to iPhone & IPod)
Why is it important to be certified for iPhone 2G and 3G and Iphone 4? -This is an official certified "Works with iPhone" product. Non certified products are not necessarily safe for the iPhone and are not carrying the logo that shows they have passed the test certification. Apple checks that the circuitry in the Smart Backup Battery knows when to automatically stop charging the iPhone, which preserves the remaining charge in the battery for later, as well as protects the iPhone.
What size is this battery? How does it compare to other compact competitors? - The Backup Battery is 1800 mAh. There are other compact units, but rarely do they have this much capacity, and they do not allow tandem, or simultaneous charging of the iPhone and the backup together.
How many hours do I get out of the RichardSolo battery?- Battery life is dependent on so many factors however typically 1800 mAh will give more than double the battery time with quite a bit of reserve backup power left over.
Can I use the iPhone while it is charging? - Yes- it is smart enough to fully charge the iPhone, and only then will it charge up the Backup Battery, and you can use the iPhone while it is charging.
Why don't you make it so the battery is in the back, in a case, so that it doesn't stick out the bottom? - Cases can result in weak reception and transmission of phone call. The Richard Solo does not suffer from this problem.
