Exovolt Plus portable battery that can be "stacked"

Posted by Unknown Monday, August 13, 2012

If you make a particularly strong use of your mobile devices, you are likely aware of the limitation imposed by the battery. Who can escape some days everything and everyone "less" of their smartphones and tablets should consider some way to keep these machines running away from an electrical outlet. People Exogear, known for developing accessories for Apple devices, has introduced its Exovolt Plus, a battery that can be stacked in special modules to increase its ability to recharge.

Facebook recently observed in a conversation about the battery life on some smartphones. Each of the participants told their experience, and beyond the differences between the models mentioned, the underlying message remained the same: "Not enough." Far has been the "week of battery" of those basic phones beginning of the century. Clearly this is a vicious circle: With the increasing use of tablets and smartphones, users require more processing and greater autonomy for them, defying the limitations of the format. For design reasons, most of the devices does not allow a manual battery replacement, "slaving" the device to a charger in one form or another. There are certain "emergency chargers" that can get you out of trouble, but if you want a complete solution a little more, maybe requieras something like this.

Exovolt Plus is a battery developed by the people of Exogear. If we talk about a load of 5,200 mAh, 5 volts to a maximum of 2 amps and support for USB and micro USB, Exovolt Plus does not seem so different from other batteries. However, its design allows the user to purchase and install additional modules to extend its capacity. With dimensions of 95 by 95 by 15 mm (weight is 156 grams), the Exovolt Plus is smaller than a DVD box (though a bit thicker). The extra modules need to run the main battery, and according to the manufacturer, there would be a limit to "stack" batteries.



The design is elegant Exovolt Plus, and the concept, while not revolutionary (to be honest, anyone can connect batteries in parallel), seems to be well polished. However, this makes the "premium" is a little higher than expected. The main unit of the Exovolt Plus is priced at $ 90 (73 €), while each additional module demands an investment of $ 50 (41 €). The reality of the numbers tells us that the main battery costs half of what Google calls today for a tablet Nexus 7, but if the product gains traction (not yet available), it is possible to receive a downward adjustment. There are other options to consider for a weekend in the countryside, but if energy demand is constant and you want something you can carry in a pocket, Exovolt Plus should be a more than adequate.
