Most of the time I carry a lightning cord in my bag because I just plow through my iPhone’s battery. What a pain, right? But iBattz’s new Mojo Refuel charging case will let me leave the cable at home where it belongs, because it comes with two extra 2500 mAh batteries. More »
If you happen to own either a Samsung Galaxy S3 or a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (both are fine devices in their own right), then you might be interested to check out just what iBattz has in store for you this CES. We are looking at the new iBattz Smart Charging Adapter that caters for both devices (a 2-in-1 gizmo, so to speak) which delivers wireless charging capability, doing away with the need for an accompanying bulky case or connection. This new system will come with a charging base and Smart charging adapter which will fit snugly into a Samsung Galaxy S3 or Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The moment the adapter is within the device, it needs not be removed – ever again. How neat is that?
Based on the universally accepted “Qi” standard, the Smart wireless charger will require a mere touch for the charging process to kick into action. The charging base will be able to tell you whether your device is charging or not, and when is it ready to be removed for use on the road. Each purchase will include an AC adapter, charging base and Smart charging adapter.

You know, I’ve been wondering when we’d see a battery pack case for the iPhone 5. Mophie tends to be the first to market but it looks like iBattz might squeak one in first. With two 2200mAh batteries, both the Mojo Refuel and rugged Moro Armor can recharge your iPhone 5 up to three times, says the company. More »
It’s usually a no-brainer — Mophie exits quickly out of the gate with a battery-equipped case soon after a new iDevice gets announced. This year, however, it appears iBattz is poised to hit it out of the park faster with two of its own iPhone 5 cases. Notably, each case comes packed with two swappable i9300 Li-ion battery packs (the same kind for Samsung’s rival Galaxy S III, seriously). The cells are rated at 2,200mAh each, which is notably larger in capacity than the iPhone’s roughly 1,400mAh batts. The streamlined Mojo Fuel (pictured) will set you back $90 come February, while argonauts can sang the ruggedized Mojo Armor for $100 in March. The cases charge via microUSB, and an external battery charger will also be included with each. The company has also detailed its waterproof AquaSeal Hi5, featuring a detachable 2,500mAh aluminium battery back — no further details just yet. We’ll be sure to report back if catch ’em on the show floor here at CES. Find the full press release after the break.

Sure, you love spending the day at conventions and tradeshows like CES, but there are moments when you realize that it totally slipped your mind the day earlier to power up your smartphone, leaving you with less than 25% to go through the day. Which is nigh impossible considering what a power user you are. Good thing there are peripherals out there to the rescue, such as the iBattz BattStation Tough Pro 12,000 mAH. Yes sir, this bad boy will come in 7200mAh, 8400mAh and 12000mAh configurations, retailing for $29.90, $39.90 and $49.90, respectively.
Still, the tale of the tape needs to be told, and the iBattz BattStation Tough Pro 12000 comes with, no prizes for guessing this one, 12000 mAH of portable power. With this, you can juice up a couple of exhausted USB devices simultaneously, and it holds enough charge to power an iPhone up to 8 times, or for tablet users, the new iPad with Retina display once. Fret not about its durability, the BattStation Tough Pro gets the job done just about anywhere, thanks to its ruggedized, silicone shell that is drop and water resistant.

[CES 2013] If you ever attended the mad house that is called CES 2013, you would know how important it is to keep your devices juiced up to the maximum right until you leave the hotel room early in the morning, with the quest of covering as much CES showfloor news as possible throughout the day. After all, when you are clicking away, sending and receiving all sorts of information on your smartphone while updating news stories on your notebook, most of these are done away from a power point, and when the action happens thick and heavy, you might find yourself out of juice sooner than you think. Which is why the $49.90 iBattz BattStation Tough Pro 12,000 mAH has just been announced, where it delivers, yup, 12,000 mAH of portable power.
In other words where laypeople can understand, you are able to juice up an iPhone up to 8 times, or fully charge the new iPad with Retina display. Assuming you do not have to do the latter, the iBattz BattStation Tough Pro is good to power a pair of USB devices simultaneously, now how about that? It even comes in a ruggedized, silicone shell that is not only drop- but water-resistant as well, making sure that road warriors will be kept happy.

Have you heard of iBattz before? If you haven’t, here is a quick skinny on the situation. They are basically a company that rolls out intelligent power solutions, and the latest addition to their line up would be the Mojo Hi5 Powerbank Case. This also marks their first foray into the protective battery case market, especially for Apple’s latest iPhone 5. To put it in a nutshell, the Mojo Hi5 Powerbank Case is a two-part protective case which will boast a detachable 2500mAh aluminum battery that enables users to power up on the go. This particular battery is not only thin, it is also lightweight in nature and will complement the iPhone 5’s minimalistic design. Of course, powering up an iPhone is not all it can do, as it also offers the ability to juice up other USB devices.
Functionality and design were the key components when it came to the development of the Mojo Hi5. You can tell from the sleek looking outer case that fuses flawlessly with the slim form of the iPhone 5. As the iPhone 5’s owner, you do have the option to use the battery or simply just protect your phone with the thin yet protective case. Thanks to its rather beefy 2500mAh battery that attaches to the case effortlessly to charge your communications device on the go, it can also be easily removed to juice up other USB enabled devices.
With the Mojo Hi5 Powerbank case and its 2500mAh battery also comes matte black and gloss white cases, a USB to Micro USB charging cable, a Velcro strap and a short flex USB cable for charging the iPhone 5 when connected with the Apple Lightning to micro USB adapter. Of course, for those who have picked up the iPhone 5 on a contract would figure out that forking out another $79.90 just for another smartphone case might be painful to your bank account, but think of all those moments when you needed your battery to go the extra mile only to fail you at the very last minute.
