Abstract
A holster for a handheld, power intensive electronic device, such as a cellular telephone, incorporates within it a supplemental battery pack. The supplemental battery pack is used to recharge or maintain main, onboard battery pack of the cellular telephone and also to power certain supplemental circuits. The use of the docking-holster at least doubles the useful life of the device battery, which may be kept conveniently small.
