Last month, GP Batteries expanded its PowerBanks and Smart On-The-Go accessories lineup to include USB Car Chargers, USB Wall Chargers, Charge & Sync USB Cables, F-Series PowerBank and Smiley Special Edition PowerBank.
USB Car Chargers
There are three models of USB Car Chargers from GP. Single USB 2.4A (S$22.90), Dual USB 4.8A (S$37.90) and Triple USB 6.3A (S$49.90). Each model comes in two colors, white and black.
Went to Hong Kong over the weekend to attend a relative wedding and since I have nothing much to buy for that trip, I decided to get the Mophie Powerstation Plus (12,000mAh) from the newly opened Apple Store at 100 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, the Mophie Powerstation Plus (12,000mAh) is retailing for HK$1,298 (S$240). Apparently, on Apple Online Store (Singapore), it is retailing for only S$209.
Received the Cooler Master Power Fort 6,000mAh as a door gift when I went to Cooler Master Make It Yours Seminar two weeks ago.
The Power Fort is Cooler Master’s series of power banks. I didn’t even know they do power banks.
I received the Mophie Power Reserve as a door gift at the official launch of Mophie in Singapore. It is retailing for S$69 in Singapore and you can get it from the Apple Online Store (Singapore). Last I heard, this product is going to be discontinued, so get it while you can.
Mophie Power Reserve is a 1,350mAh power bank that weighs 55g and measures 72 x 38 x 14 (L x W x H) (mm). It comes in four colors: black, white, gold and red.
Last month, Samsung announced the Samsung Universal Animal Edition Battery Pack featuring illustrations of four species of endangered animals as part of Samsung ‘Charge the Life’ campaign, which aims to raise awareness about endangered animals.
The endangered animals are selected from the IUCN Red List of threatened species. The list is widely recognized as the most comprehensive, objective global approach for evaluating the conservation status of plant and animal species.
The new Xiaomi Mi 5,000mAh Power Bank is replacing the short-lived Xiaomi Mi 5,200mAh Power Bank.
It was put on sale for the first time in Singapore at 12pm on 13th February 2015. The sale is meant to coincide with Lunar New Year and hence it is an open sale instead of the usual limited flash sales. Open sale means you get to purchase Mi products anytime.
Mophie Powerstation Plus is a series of power banks from Mophie that has an integrated Lightning cable to charge your iPhone and integrated USB cable to charge the power bank itself. There is also a integrated Micro USB cable version available if you are using Android or Windows Phone devices. With integrated cable, you do not need to bring any additional cables along with your power bank.
There are four capacities in the series: 3,000mAh, 5,000mAh, 7,000mAh and 12,000mAh. The 7,000mAh and 12,000mAh are coming soon.
Xiaomi Mi 16,000mAh Power Bank is the third and largest capacity power bank from Xiaomi. It was put on sale for the first time in Singapore at 12pm on 16th December 2014 and is retailing for S$29.99.
For the first time, there are two output ports in Xiaomi’s power bank. Each of the port supports up to 2.1A output but if both ports are used simultaneously, the maximum combined output is 3.6A.
Not many people heard of the brand TYLT before and that includes me. But I recognised the bold colors used in their nicely designed product packaging and only then I realised, the brand name is TYLT.
I still could not figured out what TYLT stands for and it is not written in their about page.
The newly launched Sony CP-B20 USB Portable Charger is a 20,000mAh power bank that comes with four USB ports and that allows you to charge four devices at a time!
It is capable of outputting 6.9A in total and that means you can charge three iPads or four mobile phones at one go!
