Can I plug my cell phone cord into batteries?

• I need to plug my cell phone cord into something other than a wall socket. Is there some way to run it off of batteries?

• Answer:

  Yes, there are units available that have the capability to charge your phone, and can also plug into a computer in order to be re-charged, themselves. These units should be easy to find at your local rug pilot's carry out that sells cell phones and other stuff. You can also try: www.mcmelectronics.com These fine folks have a very good selection of what you are looking for. If your phone is a... Sprint-Samsung, the order # is: 291-1000. Motorola, the order # is: 291-1005. Nokia, the order # is: 291-1010. Mini USB (Blackberry), the # is: 291-1015. All of these units come with 2 (two) AA lithium batteries, that can be easily recharged. Each of the above sells for $19.95. They do have a minimum order, so you might want to buy the Ni-MH battery charger, that comes with 4 (four) AA Ni-MH batteries. The order # is: 29-4130, and it costs $15.95.
