Sony CP-ELS USB Portable Power Supply
The Sony CP-ELS USB Portable Power Supply will be launching today at IT Show 2012 (8-11 March 2012 at Suntec Singapore). It will be retailing for S$29.90 and it will be available in 2 colors (black or white).
It has a battery capacity of 2,000 mAh and only weights 87g. According to my brother, it can charge Blackberry 9900 (not many portable battery chargers can do that).
Sanyo Eneloop Quick Charger NC-MQR06W
Together with the Sanyo Eneloop Glitter Batteries, they also sent me the Sanyo Eneloop Quick Charger NC-MQR06W. The package comes with 4x AA batteries and is retailing for S$55.90.
The batteries are Made in Japan while the charger itself is Made in China. It can charge up to 4x AAA or 4x AA batteries at once.
Sanyo Eneloop Glitter AA Battery 8HR-3UTGA-SECP-GL
Always wanted to get the Sanyo Eneloop Glitter AA Battery because it just looks so nice!
Luckily for me, the PR agency of Sanyo Eneloop sent that to me for me to feature it on my blog after seeing I am such a Sanyo Eneloop fan as I have a featured section on Sanyo Eneloop!
Mophie Juice Pack Boost
Bought the Mophie Juice Pack Boost from Apple (Singapore) Online Store for S$69.90. I can’t seem to find it in any Authorized Apple Reseller stores in Singapore. Instead they are still selling the older model, the one with 1,500mAh battery (Amazon Link) instead of this 2,000mAh one.
The Mophie Juice Pack Boost is bigger and much lighter than it looks. I was expecting it to be more compact in size and heavier, but surprising it is lighter than any of my Eneloop Chargers that I bring along in my bag whenever I am out (which is a good thing).
MiPow Power Tube 6600
My Hong Kong cousin gave me the MiPow Power Tube 6600 (online store) which is retailing for S$125. It boosts a battery capacity of 6,600mAh and is made from aluminum case with durable anodized colors.
The package includes charging tips for iPad/iPhone/iPod, Blackberry, HTC, Motorola, LG, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Samsung Galaxy, PSP, Nintendo DSL/DSi/3DS and Female USB.
Sanyo Eneloop Standard Charger NC-MQN09
Got the Sanyo Eneloop Standard Charger NC-MQN09 at Challenger at Funan for S$29.90 (after member’s discount is S$26.91).
I was deciding between 2 variants, the Standard Charger NC-MQN09 (S$29.90) or the Basic Charger NC-MQN09 (S$22.90). The price difference is S$7.
Sanyo Eneloop Stick Booster KBC-D1BS
Sanyo Eneloop Stick Booster KBC-D1BS was announced in Japan back in August 2010 but unfortunately it is not available in Singapore. My mom’s business friend came to visit us on a business trip and I asked him to help me get the Eneloop Stick Booster from Japan. It cost 2980 Yen which is about S$46.30. I like it because of the design.
It is capable of outputting 5.0V/500mA through its output port but unfortunately, you can’t charge your Eneloop batteries in it as there is no input/charging port. It has a rating capacity of 1,900mAH and hence it should be able to full charge your iPhone at least 1 time. For more detail specifications, check out this pdf file.
