Battery life is the bane of all phones. Some phones you can get and extended battery and be done with it. If you own and iPhone 5 or 5S you know that isn’t the case. The folks over at MOTA have come up with an extended battery case that not only gives you 2400mAh extra power to keep your phone going all day long, but is MFi certified by Apple.

The MOTA Extended Battery Case for the iPhone 5/5S is an easy and convenient way to get extra time on your phone without having to be attached to a wall outlet. The Battery Case is a two piece case that consists of the battery pack and a bumper style frame that connects the phone to the battery case.

The case includes a built-in 2400mAh battery that is equivalent to the battery in the iPhone 5S. This will take your phone 0% battery life to 100% without the need for a charging cable or wall outlet. If your phone is already fully charged, it will double your phones battery life.

On the back of the battery case are 4 blue LED lights to let you know the charge status of the internal battery. There is also a power button to turn the extended battery off if need be.  Also one of the great feature of the MOTA Battery Case that not many others have added yet is the kick stand so you can watch movies without having to hold your phone if you have a table or flat surface around.

To charge both your phone and the case, all you need is the microUSB charging cable that is included in the case. The cable will charge both the battery in the case and also your phone battery.  No need to carry the lightning cable around anymore.

Another great feature of the MOTA Battery Case is the fact that the speaker ports are now aimed out to the front so you can easily hear you music and video’s now without having to strain to listen to your music, movies, or podcasts’ anymore.

Included in the package are the battery case, 2 bumpers, charging cable, screen protector, and a headphone extension cable. This cable is used due to the larger bottom to the case that doesn’t allow  some headphone cables to fully connect.

Color options for the MOTA Case are Black Battery with Clear and Black frame, White Battery with Clear and Blue frame, White Battery with Clear and Green frames, and White Battery with Clear and Pink frame.

Overall, this is a great addition that is needed for an iPhone due to the battery life issues it has. Price is under $100 USD and available at MOTA.com
