iPhone 6 Plus and iGlide

I wired in a usb charing port, so it stays charged. Best to start the day with the phone charged though, otherwise it will drain the instrument battery to charge the phone battery.

I have a portable charger I fly with. Very small and light. Will keep my iPhone charged all day. Bought it on Amazon.

Buy a Mophie perhaps? This is what I use for my iPhone when flying with iGlide. The Mophie is a $100 "battery case" that provides roughly 3500 mAh of additional battery capacity (120% additional). With a Mophie, there is no need for wires or a separate portable battery in the cockpit. The mophie case is only slightly larger than a normal case. The Mophie case setup will run an iPhone running iGlide all day (8 hours plus). Far longer if one does not leave the screen on constantly. Also, the Mophie charges from the same single USB wire at night. No need to charge two batteries separately (two wires and charging adapters). No more forgetting to charge the spare battery. Just a thought. www.mophie.com

I picked up an 8600mah PowerBurst from Costco for $30. It will fully charge my iPhone5 3 times and after flying for 5 hours the phone is still at 100%. It has to be connected by cord to the phone but that has been workable so far.
