Hey, is that a power station in your pocket? Why, yes it is. In fact, it’s the powermonkey extreme by Powertraveller. The powermonkey extreme can charge nearly every type of 5V portable device from a GPS device to an MP3 player to a cell phone to even a tablet, including iPods, iPhones and iPads. It can itself be recharged from a regular outlet, a USB port connected to a computer or even a rugged solar panel. With one charge, it can turn around and re-charge a Garmin Edge 800 or an iPhone up to 6 times or a standard cell phone up to 12 times. But wait, the powermonkey extreme was designed for us outdoor enthusiasts, so it’s also shock resistant as well as waterproof for 30 minutes up to 1 meter underwater. This may be a glimpse at the future, and soon, we might all be carrying power stations like these in our cars, in our backpacks and in our… ahem… pockets.
