Being a bit paranoid about the poor performance of the battery in the N95, I decided not long after getting the phone to purchase the portable power pack (Mobile Survival Kit) from Proporta. 

I should say right at the start that I'm rarely far from an electric power point and Nokia charger, whether that be at home, in the office or in the car. My idea of getting the Proporta was for those times when I'm on holiday walking across the Cornish moors and in need of GPS, or Google Maps. See, I told you I was paranoid!

Anyway, the kit comes with multiple connectors for various phones, and the battery is charged via a USB port from the PC although an adaptor for a mains plug is also included. The good news is that when fully charged, the pack can be carried with a short connection lead for when needed. It's not much bigger than the N95 itself, and can charge the phone from flat up to a maximum of three times from a single charge! More than enough to get me off the moor...

The nice thing is that with the variety of connectors provided lots of different devices can be charged.

Have I used it in anger yet? Well no, to be honest.  It's always kept fully charged and ready for action, but I've been lucky enough to not be away from power points long enough to have needed it yet. I look upon it as a form of insurance for now...
