Xantrex Introduces Universal Portable Power Solution for Electronic Devices
Xantrex Technology Inc. introduced the XPower by Xantrex PowerSource Mobile 100, which the company claims is the only handheld power system that can operate multiple electronic products at different voltage and power levels. The company also claim that the PowerSource Mobile 100 is the only compact mobile power source with an ac outlet and two USB outlets with the capability to operate portable devices at varying power levels. This goes beyond products currently available on the market, and it means consumers can now operate or charge a high power product like a laptop, and low power devices such as an iPod™ and a cell phone all at the same time.
The PowerSource Mobile 100 is compact – approximately the size of a laptop battery – and weighs about one pound. It combines a 100W dc to ac inverter with a high output lithium ion battery to provide backup power for mobile devices. It can be recharged from any ac electrical outlet in your home or office, or from a dc outlet in a vehicle or airplane. It provides both 120Vac and 5Vdc (USB) power for use with portable products.
"The versatility of the Mobile 100 is what takes this product to the next level compared to those currently available," said Xantrex CEO John Wallace. "Not only does it have multiple universal outlets (both ac and USB), it is the only portable power product on the market that can operate both high and low power mobile devices, so consumers only need to carry one power source. Xantrex has been an advanced power electronics leader for more than 20 years, and we're dedicated to designing the best portable power products on the market. We've leveraged that experience to develop this unique product that addresses the increasing power needs of people on-the-go."
The PowerSource Mobile 100 can operate a laptop computer for approximately two hours, a portable DVD player for three hours, a portable game console for 12 hours, or an iPod nano™ for 72 hours. It can also provide 12 days of standby power for a cell phone and 34 days of standby power for a Blackberry™.
The new XPower by Xantrex PowerSource Mobile 100 is distributed by Ingram Micro. The suggested retail price of the PowerSource Mobile 100 is $129.99 US.
