Zipcharge Quick Charger

Until the day arrives when handheld gizmos run on fresh air, we’ll have to rely on portable chargers to provide back-up power. But why make do with some slowcoach lunk that takes hours to charge when the revolutionary Zipcharge Quick Charger is ready to deliver the goods in a matter of minutes.

The clue’s in the name because this rechargeable stick of power is good to go in a jiffy. We’re talking four times faster than regular lithium-ion chargerzzz. Amazing! Charging the sleek ZipCharge for a paltry 15 minutes will store enough oomph to give your iPod an extra 20 hours of playtime or your mobile phone an additional 10 hours of talk time.

Impressed? You will be, so try this on for size: if you’re in a pant-trippingly awful rush, a 60 second (yes, 60 second!) charge whooshes in sufficient juice to power an iPod for 2 hours, a mobile phone for 8 hours (standby) or a camera for 80 photos. And thanks to a bunch of included adaptor tips you can charge virtually any portable gadget in your electronic arsenal.

So how does it work? Not being particularly spammy of head, we’re not entirely sure, but it’s got something to do with clever nano physics and cutting edge battery chemistry (it says here). But who cares about spoddy tech nonsense? The ZipCharge is set to revolutionise your gidgity gadgety life. And that’s not empty flannel because it’s brought to you by Freeplay, the game-changing boffins behind the world’s first wind-up radio.
