Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a spare battery?

depends on the phone!
If it's in the glove box - surely a car charger makes more sense....
I have one of these and they are ok, but you have to remeber to take it with you! Which, being a man, means more garbage in your pockets - so I tend not to bother, then end up with no charge!
I resorted to a car charger and a spare charger at work. This seems to work 4 me.

However, not to put off the OP, these are good deals! good spot if you want one!

You can also get wind up torches with mobile charger with adaptors for less than a tenner, which would be better for emergencies. I always carry a windup torch in the glove compartment
