Thanks to Powersolve's new generation of portable power banks based on lithium ion and lithium polymer battery technology, Smartphone users will always be able to charge and use their device even during extended periods away from the mains supply.
Once charged, a power bank will itself charge a Smartphone as many as five times – the number of charges depending on its capacity. Power banks can also be used to power and charge tablets, MP3 players, digital cameras and any device that can be charged using a standard USB cable.
There's a wide selection of power banks, including a powerful 10,400mAh model that has the capacity to charge the latest Smartphones up to five times and double the battery life of most tablet PCs.
The model PAF10AH4 uses long-life cycle Samsung lithium ion cylindrical batteries and provides two USB outlets, so two devices can be charged at the same time. It can be charged in 6.5 hours using the standard 2A USB charger supplied with the Smartphone, tablet etc - longer if using a 1A charger. Operation is simple with a single pushbutton while LED indicators show its battery state of charge.
It measures just 136 x 58 x 22mm and comes complete with charging cable and connectors for the most popular smart phones and mobile devices. It has a recommended retail price of £49.95 including VAT.
