There are few technological devices that have been made in the last ten years or so that have gained popularity and mainstream acceptance in the United States nearly as quickly as the smart phone. The smart phone has risen quickly to the top of the list in technology because of its wide range of features. However, the extra features of smart phones also exerts a heavy toll on their batteries, and if you don't have a spare battery or an extra charger, you might soon find yourself without power in a dire situation. This article will discuss the differences between home battery chargers and car battery chargers for smart phones such as the Motorola Atrix.

The key thing to keep in mind with home and car battery chargers is that they both work toward the same goal, which is the charging of your battery. They simply go about it through slightly different means; with car battery chargers, the battery is charged through a connection to the car via the cigarette lighter. This uses DC electricity, which is what powers all of the other electronic devices in the car, and it is supplied by the large DC battery that powers the car itself.

Conversely, a home charger is powered by a AC wall outlet, which is the format of regular electricity through wall sockets. Because the technology for AC is slightly simpler than the technology for DC, you will typically find DC car battery chargers to be a little more expensive, on average, than AC battery chargers. However, the difference should be slight enough that it does not end up deterring you from one or the other; in fact, many people are quite content with both.

You might also want to look into accessories such as external battery packs to power your device. While you can use an external battery pack in your car or in your home, they are typically not described as car batteries or as home batteries, but they will allow you to use your Atrix in both situations without skipping a beat. A good external battery will help preserve the life of the original battery that ships with the smart phone, which will save you a good amount of money in the long run.

Beyond the purchase of additional batteries and chargers, you might also want to look into accessories tilted toward safety, such as a screen protector or case. While neither of these devices will help save your battery's charge levels, you will still benefit from them through their abilities to preserve the working condition of your phone.

There's no point of having a good battery in a nonfunctional phone so it's highly recommended you keep it well protected. You might also want to consider purchasing a high quality Bluetooth wireless headset, as this will allow you to talk without hands or wires, which will also help increase the safety factor while you use the phone when walking or driving.
