Turn up the power!
Keeping your devices topped up with power has never been so easy thanks to battery experts, PowerTraveller and their brand-new PowerGorilla
You know what comes with the longer winter nights? A lot of boredom. However, unlike a decade ago, we now all have smartphones and tablets to keep us entertained when it goes dark (and there’s nothing wrong with that – even Terry Hearn tunes into TVCatchup – see right). But all this tech needs power – and lots of it in winter – and there’s only one company which is totally bossing the tough, over-populated mobile charging device market right now, and that’s PowerTraveller.
The heritage-rich company has been ahead of the market when it comes to mobile battery units – in fact, CARPology.net has been using their chargers for getting on ten-years – but their latest offering, the PowerGorilla, is their most powerful to date. Got a laptop? Plug this in and you’ll get an extra 2-5hrs of power depending on your laptop’s specification. Smartphone? No worries: the PowerGorilla will give it over 20hrs of additional charge. iPad? You’re looking at numerous complete recharges.
It comes with one or two adaptors and charging cables…
It’s pretty darn robust too, thanks to its aluminium casing and shock-resistant rubber protection. And unlike other “angling” charging devices which have been field-tested in a shed in Wigan, the PowerGorilla has been tested out in Afghanistan, Madagascar, Zambia, Antarctica and Norway, being subjected to extremely hot and ball-crushingly cold temperatures whilst at the same time successfully charging numerous laptops and other power-hungry devices.
