Abstract
Portable RF radio transceivers, commonly known as walkie talkies, are powered by common replaceable batteries. Mobile devices, including cell phones, are chargeable from the walkie talkies having power output ports. USB or mini USB ports on the walkie talkies are used for the power outputs to charge mobile devices while moving through locations without interrupting both types of the communication devices.
