External batteries are a fact of life in a mobile world. After all, while our phones and tablets have gotten more powerful, battery technology hasn’t improved significantly. The Scosche goBAT 6000 Rugged Portable Backup Battery is designed to keep you up and running. Built to endure the rigors of the great outdoors, this battery is ready for your next adventure.
This compact unit packs a 6000mAh battery but that is just the beginning. Here’s what Scosche has to say about the battery:
“The goBAT 6000 is a rugged portable backup battery for charging your devices on the go. It’s extremely rugged, with an IP68 waterproof/dustproof and Military Spec 810G Drop/Shock construction. It contains a 6000mAh battery of pure power, capable of charging most smartphones up to 3 times.”
“The battery comes fully charged and has a multi-color LED indicator that will display the battery power level. Its high-power USB port (up to 12W/2.4A) auto-detects the fastest possible charge speed for your connected mobile device. It even comes equipped with a metal alloy loop and carabiner to clip your goBAT securely to your gear.”
I love the compact size, and the waterproofing means it can go pretty much anywhere and the carabiner clip means you can attach it securely to your backpack, bike, or pretty much anything else you have with you.

- Metal Alloy Loop and Carabiner clips your goBAT securely to your gear.

Those features combine to create the backup battery that will be with me in my gadget bag going forward. It will keep both my phone and tablet going all day and will stand up to any and everything my daily grind with throw at it.
At $69.99 it isn’t the least expensive external battery available, but it certainly is the most rugged I have reviewed. Learn more and order yours today!
