Qatari developed product contains magnetic batteries that stick to the phone. Each battery pack will weigh roughly the same as two AA batteries

There are few things more annoying than when you are about to leave the house and realise you have forgotten to charge your phone.

But a Qatari tech firm has developed a solution to this problem - a machine that fully recharges a mobile phone in seven seconds.

Called the Swapery, the at-home device dispenses light-weight battery packs which magnetically stick to the back of the phone and are connected to the charging port on the underside of the mobile.

The battery packs each weigh roughly the same as two AA batteries and are compatible with all smartphones.
