Portable power solution: The Powertraveller Power Gorilla (PowerGorilla) Laptop Charger

We all know what it's like to be on the road and have the dreaded no battery power signal. Whether you're a regular commuter or a road warrior, being connected and always reachable is probably a necessary (though possibly inconvenient) reality for you.

Unfortunately, as laptop computers and similar gadgets (think iPhone, Blackberry) have become more portable over the years, the efficiency of battery packs has not followed in the same trend. Most laptops are still not very energy efficient, with high energy usage and short battery life still a very prevalent issue.

Enter the Powertraveller Power Gorilla Laptop Charger, the ultimate portable battery source.

Packing an impressive 21,000 mAh of power, the Power Gorilla is robust enough to power your laptop and many other electronic devices, while being portable enough to carry in your regular laptop bag. This translates to up to 6 hours of additional laptop battery power (depending on your laptop brand/voltage requirements) wherever you are not close to a power outlet. The Power Gorilla Portable Laptop Charger includes a kit of 25 connector tips which are compatible with everything from your laptop, iPhone, iPod, portable gaming systems, and cell phones!

PowerGorilla Features:

• Easy, one button voltage selector - switch from 16 volt, 19 volt, and 24 volt based on what you're charging/powering
• 2 - 6 hours of laptop power, depending on your laptop's specifications
• Over 20 hours of extra power on other electronics like: iPod, cell phone, Blackberrys, etc.
• Universal AC adaptor - can be used in more than 150 countries in the world
• 3 charging options - AC adaptor, USB port, pair with Solar Gorilla Solar Laptop Charger

The Power Gorilla also has a number of safety features which will protect your electronic device during charging, namely: an automatic shut-off feature to prevent overheating, over-charging protection, voltage and current limitation protection, and so many more!

Not the least of its achievements, the Power Gorilla Portable Laptop is also compatible with Apple Macbooks, with the purchase of Apple's Magsafe Airline adapter.

You can purchase the Power Gorilla from Ecogeekliving.com.
