January 05, 2012 by Jeff Shepard

Millions of people worldwide lack connection to the electricity grid from time to time. Swedish fuel cell company myFC is now launching what it says is a unique solution to this problem – PowerTrekk, a cutting edge product that uses clean fuel cell technology which efficiently converts hydrogen into electricity. Users simply insert the PowerTrekk puck and add ordinary water to provide instant power on the go.

"PowerTrekk Water Charger gives your mobile phone power anywhere at any time", says Björn Westerholm, CEO at myFC. "From now on, you do not have to rely on having an electricity grid nearby."

Unlike solar chargers, fuel cell power is reliable and quickly generated. The speed of charging is not impacted by weather or solar position. Furthermore, there is no power degradation like there is with batteries.

"The launch of PowerTrekk marks a paradigm shift in fuel cell technology and at myFC we are very excited to bring this cutting edge product to the end consumers", said Björn Westerholm, CEO at myFC.

Millions of people worldwide lack connection to the electricity grid from time to time. This applies for people in emerging markets as well as outdoor enthusiasts and daily cell phone users all over the world. With the launch of the first ever water based fuel cell for commercial use there is now a clean energy solution when in need of a portable source of power. PowerTrekk is both a portable battery pack and fuel cell, intended for people who spend time away from the electricity grid. PowerTrekk provides instant power anywhere to electronic equipment such as cell phones, GPS-devices and cameras.
