Get an external charger. You can get at least 12000 mAh external batteries.
Otherwise, import from China. My phone is an iOcean x7 Elite bought via Aliexpress - it was cheap, high spec'ed for the most part, and you get a 3000mAh replacable battery with a new back doubling as a protective case for next to nothing (the standard battery is 2000 mAh). Pretty much all the Chinese Android phones have replaceable batteries.
I use it extensively for a 45 minute commute with the (5" full hd) screen on maximum brightness and I no longer really need to charge my phone all day.
(beware: while I love my phone, there's a general issue with GPS quality for most MTK based phones; for many there are known fixes, but they often involve "surgery" on the GPS antennae - if GPS is important for you, look into that first; my phone supposedly has an easy fix, but I haven't bothered trying)
