– Shockproof and Waterproofing (with final design)
– If goal is reached, Design will be revised to include up to 6 ports, LED flashlight, and more compact housing.
The creator of the powerful battery pack explains more about the project and the inspiration behind it . “So, I built my first portable battery. It weighs 12 pounds, fits in a backpack, briefcase, or large purse. With a car or SUV full of 5-8 people, there’s never enough charging ports to go around. Tossing this in the backseat solved a lot of problems. A battery this big is a perfect survival tool. If your power goes out, you can charge four devices for weeks. It’s also great for camping and backpacking (Unless you like going without devices on those trips, but then, how are you getting pics for the gram?) One of the first few things people look for after a natural disaster is Food, Water, and a place to charge their phone and communicate.”
