  The iPhone 6 Plus has a significantly better battery life than other models. If you are still running out, a friend of mine has a portable charger that seems to work well

  Hasn't it got a Qi charger? Thats been amazing on android the last couple of year for me. Literally from home->car->work->car->home with weekends way in the middle.

  What are you using in the car? Have yet to see a Qi charger for the car that I like.

  The iPhones arent yet Qi enabled are they yet?
  
  I have Choetech Qi chargers from Amazon, one in the car and one on the bedside table. They are great

  You can pick up a high-capacity portable battery pack for around £20. Will charge most phones 3 or 4 times.
  
  Anker are very well regarded, though I also like Powergen, here's mine:

  I got myself a 15000mAh battery pack for my iPhone/iPads. Does the iPhone seven times or the iPad twice on a single charge.
  
  It's made by Anker. It's quite heavy, mind... more designed for if you're travelling out and about rather than day-to-day use.
  
  EDIT: paulbrock - beat me to it

  What would you recommend I buy to keep it powered? A charge case when it comes out? A portable charger?

  
  It use one of these for my iPhone and tablet when I'm away from the mains or car. Works great and will charges my iPhone 5S around 7 times but less if I also charge my tablet. It has both 2.1a and 1a output. I cost me £20 from http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intocircuit-11200mAh-External-Battery-Charger/dp/B00BPN6X52/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411800783&sr=8-1&keywords=intocircuit+power+castle

  another vote for anker, found them to be the best portable chargers.
