Carefree mobility: VARTA Consumer's new Portable Powerpacks provide peace of mind and are always at hand when a battery dies. No matter whether you've got a smartphone, satellite navigation system or GPS device, VARTA's Portable Powerpacks deliver the right amount of power for them all.
Portable power sources ensure stress-free mobility
Whether you're on a trip, at a business meeting in the middle of nowhere or at the gym: It’s extremely frustrating when a smartphone battery is empty just before or during an important phone call. That little red symbol can stress you out when you’re trying to send a quick message or load emails. VARTA Consumer's new Portable Powerpacks offer assistance in every situation and can be a ray of hope in a real emergency. The extremely compact chargers come in four different versions and provide up to seven hours1 of additional power – always when it is needed most.
Mini Powerpack – an everyday back-up
The new wireless Mini Powerpack should never be left at home. Whether you are on your way to an exam, out on the town or on a business trip: With a power back-up on hand, nothing can go wrong. The practical little helper (RRP €11.99 ) comes in black and white, is the same size as a flash drive and provides mobile devices with up to 60 minutes of power1. Using Micro-USB and iPhone* adapters, the Mini Powerpack is a two-in-one solution for smartphones. In addition, the fact that it’s attached to a practical key chain means it is always close at hand. Thanks to its lithium-ion technology, the little helper can be recharged several hundred times via USB; an LED shows when the device is fully charged and ready to use again.
Emergency Powerpack – plug it in and relax
Varta's Emergency Powerpacks (RRP €9.99) provide additional battery power. The tiny devices with Micro
USB or Apple 30-Pin adapter provide up to two hours1 of additional talk time. The wireless Emergency Powerpacks get their energy from an easily replaceable VARTA CR 123 A lithium battery, which has an extremely long service life. The Emergency Powerpacks are able to provide ample power even when they have been stored in the glove compartment for quite a while. Should drivers have car trouble or get stuck in traffic, the Emergency Powerpacks ensure that smartphones are able to function. As a result of the Emergency Powerpacks' compact size, they are able to fit in any backpack, providing the energy needed to access electronic maps on a family outing.
Alkaline Powerpack – going the distance
The Alkaline Powerpack is the marathon runner of the new Portable Powerpack range. It provides over seven hours1 of additional energy for important phone calls when you are completely off-grid. It uses four AA VARTA High Energy batteries and has Mini-USB, Micro-USB and Apple* adapters (RRP €9.99). The mobile aid is even able to charge iPad Minis, making it the perfect companion for business trips and outdoor activities. The Alkaline Powerpack can be charged using the USB cable provided; the charging status is shown via LEDs.
Based on iPhone ® 4S, power can vary depending on device
Apple 30-pin
