Charging stations usually are economical, so if you find yourself with a low battery problem most of the time, you can set up multiple charging stations at different locations, at the office and at home. Most importantly, you won't have to worry about always having a charger with you.
2: Travel charger

Another important travel accessory to assist in keeping your battery active is a travel charger. Compact and easy to use, a travel charger allows you to use the phone even while it's charging, so this is a great accessory to have in any briefcase or travel bag.
Some people prefer to use their car charger in place of a travel charger, which is perfectly fine if you mostly use the car to conduct business. However, a better alternative for frequent fliers is a hand-crank charger. This doubles as an emergency charger, since you don't need an outlet and can charge the phone even during a power outage or with no access to an outlet or car.

4. Bluetooth headset
Many customers using smartphones have been taking advantage of Bluetooth headset for years, and this hands-free accessory has quickly become a must-have for any cell phone user, whether you use a smartphone or the most basic talk and text device.
The Bluetooth has become so popular, in fact, that even new car models are coming equipped with Bluetooth compatibility already integrated in the car's system. In some states, using a hands-free device is required by law when talking on the cell phone in your car, so having one will not only make you more mobile, but it will cut down on costly tickets, ensure you are abiding the law, and make it safer to drive.
5: MicroSD memory card
Many smartphones today have memory card slots. With an increase in productivity when it comes to our phones, having additional memory available is never a bad thing. Expand your phone storage by 2GB, 4GB, or more. You can find some of these memory cards for under $10.00 (USD), making this item a must-have because, well, why not?
6: Car mount for GPS navigation
Many people use their smartphones as a GPS system, because there numerous free apps available. We should be safe about it, though. To keep from constantly looking down at your smartphone to navigate (even those voice navigators can be confusing), a car mount is perfect. Station your smartphone on your windshield or dashboard for easy reference and use. This also allows you to keep two hands on the steering wheel and your eyes on the road.
7: Battery extender pack
As previously mentioned, batteries die fairly fast when you're out on business. While an additional battery may very well be a great item to have for those days when you just can't keep a charge due to overuse, a battery extender pack gets the job done as well. Extender packs are great when you're on the go, have lost your charger, have another device hooked up to the only available charger, and a number of other scenarios. An extended battery pack may make your phone more bulky and heavier, but it can more than double your battery life.
8: Bluetooth speakerphones
If you spend a lot of time in your car, consider investing in a Bluetooth speaker set with in-car media streaming. Some speakerphones allow you to make phone hands-free calls while driving by simply connecting via Bluetooth to your car's stereo. There are even in-car speakerphones that include voice-activated call commands, including the ability to have conference calls. Another option on some speakerphones is to enable your GPS with the device. Take advantage of a higher-level functionality and receive GPS instructions while listening to music and planning your next business call.
Weeding through the countless smartphone accessories on the market can be time-consuming, but these essential accessories are critical for business professionals who spend their time conducting business over the phone or away from a central office.
