PowerGorilla

Give your laptop up to 6 hours extra power!

Put down your piddly charger and step away from that pathetic spare battery. The ultimate emergency charger is here, and its name is PowerGorilla. Don't ask why. Just do as we say and buy, because this energy-packed slice of genius will revolutionise the way you use your laptop and other portable gadgets.

PowerGorilla

Charges almost any gadget!

Mammoth in capacity but diminutive in size (similar to a slim paperback) this high density lithium polymer rechargeable battery will juice up virtually anything, from laptops and mobile phones to sat navs, portable DVD players and video cameras. It can even charge several devices at once. Wow!

We're not entirely sure why it's called PowerGorilla but you're bound to go 'ooh', and maybe even 'ooh-ooh' when you witness its almighty charging ability. It certainly makes a monkey out of the competition.

PowerGorilla

Even two at a time!

Mains charged, the PowerGorilla is ideal for Cosmo P. Olitan gadgeteers as it comes with a raft of adaptor plugs, so you can give laptops a big ol' wallop of welly almost anywhere in the world. It also comes with a heap of adaptors, allowing you to hook it up to virtually any battery-powered device. Just select which voltage you require and the LCD screen will indicate your chosen setting.

PowerGorilla

Charge USB products

The PowerGorilla really comes into its own when it's adding oomph to laptops. Thanks to its 24 volt capacity it can provide up to 6 hours of additional energy (depending on laptop spec). It's perfect for long flights and even longer delays. Never again will you be left wondering what happened to Gollum whilst cursing your useless battery.

PowerGorilla

Protective neoprene zip
case included

With its sleek aluminium casing and shock-resistant rubber protection strips, the PowerGorilla is as robust as it is stylish. Throw in a pile of safety features to protect against voltage surges, overcharging, overheating and much more, and you're looking at the ultimate spare battery. We'll even chuck in a natty neoprene case.

Yes, there are cheaper spare batteries around, but comparing them to the PowerGorilla is a bit like comparing a pack of cheapo AAAs with a designer nuclear power station. As He-Man used to say: 'I have the Power!'

PowerGorilla

Comes complete with everything you could ever need!

visitor avatar Will this charge a blackberry curve 8520 and a blackberry playbook at the same time?
TechBoy, TechVille - 18th December 2011
Firebox says: Hi Techboy, although the PowerGorilla will charge the Blackberry Curve 8520, it cannot charge the Blackberry Playbook. So it will not be able to charge the two devices at the same time I'm afraid.
visitor avatar Does this come with a solar charger like the power monkey or is the one that I could purchase from somewhere?
Sean Helliwell, England - 17th September 2011
Firebox says: This does not come with a solar charger - we do not know of one that does.
visitor avatar This device is amazing I used it to keep my iPhone powered whilst driving through 3 country's and it lasted. Best portable charger out there!
Will, St Albans - 28th August 2011
visitor avatar Will this charge my iPhone 4? If so how many times will it fully charge it?
Thomas Hobbs, Risca - 11th August 2011
Firebox says: It sure will Thomas, although we're not certain how many times. It will power a laptop for 3-5 hours at full charge, if that helps?
visitor avatar Hello Will this charge a dell XPS L501X 19. 5V Many thanks.
Oliver, Kent - 16th June 2011
Firebox says: Sure will!
visitor avatar Does this work on an Alienware. Its a very powerful laptop and doesn't have much battery time itself.
Ali Alawi, United Kingdom - 22nd April 2011
Firebox says: It will indeed Ali.
visitor avatar I have a question, how man times could the PowerGorilla recharge a 3rd gen iPod touch on a single charge itself?
David, Dublin - 6th January 2011
Firebox says: That is a good question, When you consider that it will charge a whole laptop for up to 5 hours you can imagine that you would get a good few charges out of this for an iPod touch. Anyone tried this?
visitor avatar Does it charge an acer aspire 5942g? Thanks.
Raj, London - 4th January 2011
Firebox says: Yes it does.
visitor avatar Got an epad, (zenithink zt-180) will it work for that?? plug says 9v 2000mA. . Flying in 7 days would like to know if it will power my pad, thanks.
Chris, Shefford - 12th November 2010
Firebox says: Our suppliers have said "it is possible to use the 8.4/9.5v setting. However it looks like a fairly small port, so the supplier is able to supply various sized tips so the cord will fit.
visitor avatar Looks ideal for my purposes (I travel a lot around Europe by air) BUT how much does it weigh?
Andrew Gray, France - 21st October 2010
Firebox says: Just under 2kg including packaging.
