Midday phone death is a hassle for anyone, but it gets even worse if you're out and about. A new product can help you avoid that frantic search for an outlet the next time your phone's battery tanks.

Lilliputian Systems has created a butane-powered fuel cell, which acts as a "plug in your pocket," according to the company.

The device, which connects to a phone via a USB port, holds enough energy to charge a cellphone battery about a dozen times. After that, the butane cartridge can be replaced and the charger used again. It will soon be available at gadget retailer Brookstone.
