Powermonkey Portable Electronics Charger [Tiny Charging Unit Holds Juice for a Year]

It is never a good thing when you are away from a power outlet and your cell phone or MP3 player runs out of battery power. Or try wandering around a crowded airport for 30 minutes looking for the one free wall socket. Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a little device that you could fit in your pocket that would instantly charge your electronics without having to plug it into a wall? The folks at Powermonkey thought so to. That’s why they have the Powermonkey Portable Charger.

This thing looks more like some kind of giant silver sperm than a monkey, but hey, who am I to judge. It has the goods where it counts. The little Powermonkey charger is said to be 10x more powerful than a conventional battery and it can store a charge for up to a year. I’m not sure why you would need that kind of storage life, but it sure makes a great marketing ploy. You actually get quite a bit with the package, too. Each kit comes with the Powermonkey charging unit, a universal mains charger that will work in over 150 countries and has interchangeable heads for UK, US, Australia and Europe, a bunch of connectors that fit just about anything you are bound to have, and a cool travel pouch.

The Powermonkey Portable Electronics charger is available now for $49.99. You can head over to www.thinkgeek.com for even more details and to pick up your own.
