In a world of battery-hungry phones such as iPhones and Androids, the SpareOne Plus sticks out – its makers claim it lasts for 15 years.

The affordable mobile that runs on a single, AA battery and is built as a ‘spare’ phone for emergencies – it can even call emergency services without a SIM card.

Designed as a back-up phone you can carry without worrying if it’s charged or not, the SpareOne is built to leave in the car for emergencies, or to pack in travel luggage – especially if you or your loved ones plan to go off the beaten track (or off-piste).

The simple numerical keypad is also ideal for older users who might only use a phone occasionally.

The new version, SpareOne Plus, has a GPS tracker which allows the user to be tracked by

emergency services – and can display its location on a paired iPhone app.
The SpareOne can be pre-programmed for instant access to phone numbers of key contacts, including the relevant emergency services in any location.

That single battery offers a talk time of up to 10 hours.

The phone’s developer, XPAL Power, says: “it’s essentially designed to make and receive the most important calls, no matter what”.

It even comes with the AA battery included.

I wish there can be a blackberry that lasts like that.
Technology is really advancing,
Am glad to be part of this generation.

This will be very useful to track your car if stolen: just buy one of these and hide it in a secure spot in your car. it eliminates the fear of "what if the battery dies". The thing make serious sense!

To me, it isn't a bad one.

Chai i don spoil market for tracking companies Sorryyy oooo

That's the work of a nanobattery and such has been for some years back, not a news. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanobatteries

Even Toshiba nanobattery will gain 80% charge within 1 min, ~60 times faster than ordinary lithium-ion battery and discharges very slowly. http://phys.org/news3539.html

You can't listen to music with it
