Painting from 1860 depicts a time traveler using her iPhone
*sigh*
Why “iPhone”? Why a specific make and model? Why not “smartphone” or “phone”?

Wouldn’t a time traveler wear a wireless recharge shirt under their tunic? I know I do!

Always take a good car charger. DC is a lot easier to make than AC, you could easily get sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) and lead, and the input spec of between 10 and 15 volts and about 20 amps or so is… pretty lenient. 
(Oddly enough… the lead acid battery was invented in 1859 by Gaston Planté. String six of his cells together, tip positive, and charge away!)
(Might want to take along a few spare LEDs too. Test the polarity…)

As you say, it would likely be unusable. Specs on Leyden Jars were pretty loose.
