XKCD on carrying spare phone battery to never be disconnected

I disbelieve. How is he going to maintain connectivity while changing the battery? That takes a couple minutes (including the reboot time). He needs a whole spare phone!

Correct -- it's a generic power source, and should work for anything that takes USB power. Indeed, the only way in which most are specific to "phones", as a category, is that they are mostly too small to be as useful for recharging, eg, tablets. They're thoroughly interchangeable.

(Slight caveat: some phones now have a high-power charging mode -- if the power source supplies it correctly, they can charge *faster*. But AFAIK pretty much any phone will charge from a standard USB source.)

You should be able to find them in pretty much any electronics store these days. Heck, I've seen them at CVS, now that you can find some under $20...
