The Richard|Solo 1800 is a new external battery for iPhone and iPod. It features a 1800 mAh capacity, and is latched onto the iPhone/iPod using a specially designed mechanism, which uses a plastic support brace that reduces the lateral force on the battery connector. This results into an ability to actually use the iPhone while charging it.

However, Richard|Solo 1800 also has some other tricks. The external battery also comes with two built-in lights: a white LED flashlight and a red laser pointer. And while we’re not sure why would anyone need any of those on an external battery, we guess these two were included in the mix to make Richard|Solo 1800 stand out from the competition. In that sense, they succeeded! ;)

Interested? Hop over to Richard|Solo’s website from where you can grab their latest product for $69.95.
