There are chargers that fit in the car's cigarette lighter where you can charge while you drive.

I have a fully charged phone in the morning.

Nothing.

Home charger, once in the morning...lasts all day into the next day with still about 75-80%. Samsung S20FE

I carry the car charger in my compartment for "just in case" situations.

I am pretty good about always having a charged phone, but I do have a power stick thingie I got at Aldi a few years back.  It is rechargeable too, so I check it periodically to make sure.  

I have it, along with its cord, an extra phone cord and little cube and a charge thingie that will fit into a car lighter outlet, in a small pouch in my purse.  I have never had to use  the power stick, but it makes me feel safer.🙃🙃🙃🙃

What do you carry with you, in your purse, to charge your phone?

I don't carry anything to charge my phone.  This is for daily things.  I charge it up at night and it last all day and a little more.  If I were travelling, I would have an extra charger though.

I make sure my phone is charged when I go out, so no need to carry a charger with me. I only take a charger if I'll be gone for a long time.

Me too @teganslaw , like away for a day or two.

Nothing.  My phone is always at least 95% charged if not 100% charged when I leave the house.  I don't typically carry long conversations when I am out and about, therefore no issues with phone running out of juice.

However, just in case, I always have a car charger.

This is my lifestyle too @Pezzie .  My phone is used as a phone and for text messaging mostly.  Don't use it as a camera, or for other apps.  Just calls...

Nothing. My phone is charged when I leave the house. My purse is far to small to carry one. (I guess I could if it was really necessary).

I have a couple of Anker portable chargers and one is always in my bag.  I have them at home for power outages and they have come in handy for charging iPhone and iPad.  I need the peace of mind of always able to be in touch with my family. They all have portable chargers too.

I don't carry anything in my purse but I do have a car charger should I need it.

@Mindy D   I am an AT&T long time customer (when it was Cingular before being bought out by AT&T) and am a true dinosaur--i.e., I don't have a "smart" phone--I have a flip phone.  They mailed me a free generic (has their brand name on it) new one when they were migrating to the new 4/5 G.

The last time--many years back--they upgraded to 3G? I was going to buy a smart phone--an Iphone, but they didn't have any in stock at the AT&T store so I purchased another flip phone.

I carry the charger with me in my purse at all times, just in case.  I only use it to make and receive calls--I don't text, map, bank, order, map, photo, or video, can't summon Uber or Lyft or use the internet in any way AT ALL on it.  That is what my MacBook laptop is for.

It is used strictly to make and receive calls to family, friends, or for calling a cab, since I don't drive. 

It is 79% charged at the moment.  It has an "alert" tone when it needs a recharge when it is down to about 15%.

How about you?  What do you carry in your purse to charge yours?

Best,
