ZipCharge – “Andale, andale! Arriba, arriba!”

Getting stuck in an irradiated-mutant infested hilly terrain of a long forgotten highway because of some dead car batteries or finding yourself in a torrid desert wasteland with only a canteen half full of water is definitely not on your A-list of best travel experiences. Running out of power for your trusty portable devices in the middle of nowhere will just make matters worse. But the good news is, even if you’re stuck alone along some forgotten hills or scorching barren region, you can still have the new Freeplay ZipCharge Quick Charger for your dying portable devices.

The ZipCharge is a sure fire way to power almost all your important portable gadgets while on the move, or in this case, in a desolate place in the middle of nowhere. Measuring just about the size of a stick of pocket dynamite, you can bring this charging anywhere. Charging the ZipCharge for 10 minutes (that’s just about the same time it takes to cook simple meal or refuel your car plus a quick trip to the station’s convenience store), is enough to power your iPod or most mobile phones to full bars. This is made possible by pretty advanced and top secret battery chemistry and control electronics charge that’s four times quicker than the common lithium-ion battery. For a quick reference, charging the ZipCharge for 10 minutes will be enough to do one of the following: fully charge a mobile phone or an iPod, take 800 pictures with a camera or operate a 2-way radio for 2 hours.
