PORTRONICS POWERPACK 4000
Price: Rs 1,999
Some of us always struggle to manage the battery life of our devices-and it is not always the fault of the gadget. Portronics Powerpack 4000 aims to provide some succor during those powerless moments we often find ourselves in.
The size of a regular mobile phone, the Powerpack 4000 can store power which you can use for a wide range of devices. The device has a very archaic looking red LED indicator to show the charge available. There is another switch on top for you to choose from three different voltage and current levels. While the concept works, we would have been happier with small LCD screen doing the honours.
To charge any device, users will have to find the right pin from the seven that come in the box. Plug the USB cord- the same as the one you used to charge the device-to the 'out' and the relevant pin to the mobile phone or tablet you want to charge. The charging time is almost the same as from a regular power source. The Powerpack 4000 is effective because it is a simple device. Portronics claims the Powerpack can sustain power for many months if not used-we had no way of checking that claim.
BAG IT OR JUNK IT? Must have if you are always running out of juice.
