Powermat already makes a portable , tri - fold rendering of their induction battery charger . But it ’s only a mo portable , as you have to stop up the matter in . Their latest Powermat is lade with a lithium ion battery so you’re able to institutionalise anywhere .
Announcedback at CES , it ’s confessedly whacky .

Because while I understand the introductory Powermat premise — recharge many devices without needing to fiddle with plug and cords — I do n’t know when I ’d be in a situation where , not only would I bring my Powermat , but I ’d be unable to also plug it in … maybe camping or something .
Still , the twist , while as bulky as a stack of smartphones , manages to be quite light ( adding what I ’m certain would be unnoticed weight to your bag ) . It unfolds to reload two devices , though I do n’t believe it can recharge , say , and iPhone more than once with some alteration . LED supervise assault and battery degree on the Powermat ’s edge .
I guess my item is this : unless you are really in lovemaking with gym mat - based charging , portable batteries by companieslike Duracellseem a circle more various , and hardly as expensive . And if I were to seat into the Powermat political platform , their updated version coming subsequently in 2010 are super thin and no more cumbersome than a coaster .

If my memory serves me , thePowermat Portable 2Xwill run $ 90 in Q4 of this class . But to be candid , we talked about a heap of different Powermats over the course of about 5 minutes and that info could apply to their forthcoming Powermat 3X ( non - portable ) model .
