The bKey is a portable phone battery with a difference, ditching all cables and proving small enough to slip onto your keyring. It means you’ll always have the bKey with you when you need it most, and there’s never any worry about finding cables to help charge either your phone or the bKey itself. Read on to find out more!

The bKey looks perfectly at home on a keyring, being shaped like a key itself. Unlike a regular key though, there are a couple of covers hiding each end of the tiny charger; remove them and you’ll find a USB connection for charging the bKey itself, and either a microUSB or Lightning adapter (depending on the version you go for) at the other end to re-juice your phone.

The fact both adapters are integrated neatly into the bKey is a massive bonus, as it means you’ll have everything you need if you run out of power when you’re out and about. Time to say goodbye to frantic searches for the correct adapters or charging cables!

The bKey is the second cool-looking portable battery we’ve seen this month, following in the footsteps of the Cabin iPhone charger, but this time you’ll have a lot more choice when it comes to charging up different phones.

The tiny size of the bKey means there’s only space to cram in a 230mAh battery – so you won’t get the same sort of performance expected from chargers like the 1,600mAh Monster Powercard, but then again it’s not designed for that. Instead, it’s designed to give your phone a boost when things are getting desperate, giving you a claimed 30 additional minutes of talk time so you can finish that all-important phone call or wait for text messages when trying to arrange a lift home.
