Being left with a dead phone during emergency and critical moments can be disastrous. What if your life is dependent with just one call? That’s where Energizer, Xpal & Powerskin come in with their “Spare One” phone.

Spare One is a basic no frills phone which is powered by a single ultimate lithium AA battery. If kept unused, the battery is able to retain its battery life up to 15 years. So in event of an emergency, all you need to do is pop-in a SIM card, insert the AA battery and you are good to go. What’s more amazing is that the single AA battery boasts 10 hours of talk time. Since it’s designed for emergencies, don’t expect fancy LCD screens or WAP browsers.

The Spare One will debut at CES and shall be priced at an affordable US$49.99. We can already see the potential of having this in every car, first aid and survival kits. Just like flash lights, a phone is definitely a must for any kind of emergency. Speaking of which, it does come with an integrated LED flash light.

For more information, visit their Spare One’s official website.

Head after the break for more of its features.

If it is cheap, would get one to be hidden inside my car paired with the friend finder.

I read some time ago someone located his stolen car by using just that. No need GPS satellite locator and all the other fancy car security stuff. If it's accurate within 500m, you can make your rounds and chances are high that you can recover it. If your car is among the high demand cars = Hilux or the likes, chances are you will able to track it before it's being sent to the borders…
