Prestigio releases external battery pack able to charge various mobile devices

Limassol (Cyprus), December 5, 2007 -- Prestigio Technologies Ltd., a dynamic international vendor of state-of-the-art products for Digital Home and Digital Office, has released a high capacity external universal battery pack able to charge various mobile devices. The new product is immediately available at Prestigio partners’ stores across Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and North Africa.

Due to the rapid development of information technology, today's mobile devices are equipped with more features and functions than ever before. On the other hand, the devices consume more power therefore require more reliable and stronger power sources. To address the problem of short life of conventional battery, Prestigio now provides an external battery pack Power Bank 501 designed to give the mobile devices’ user extra runtime.

For users that find themselves constantly replacing or recharging batteries, Prestigio Power Bank 501 is an ideal backup power source to obtain just on the go. There are no more worries about limited battery capacity of your laptop or digital camera. The power bank combines a high capacity rechargeable Li-Ion battery with an appealing design. With a wide voltage range and various connectors available, it is possible to power most of notebook computers on the market.

It provides mobile users with an uninterrupted and reliable power source for which screen dimming or hard drive spinning down will not be problems to worry about. Wherever you go and whatever you do, the battery pack will quench your thirst for more power. Power Bank 501 includes a bonus USB connector that enables you to charge multiple gadgets simultaneously.

Prestigio Power Bank 501 uses Li-ion battery technology which decreases recharging time by boosting its energy density in each cell. Moreover, battery's advantages in size and weight highly suit it for a role as an alternative power source for mobile devices. Prestigio Power Bank 501 is capable of providing up to four additional working hours for a notebook computer. The battery also comes with a fine-looking leather case to protect the device from accidents.

Users are able to keep track of the remaining battery capacity with the power indicator located on the device’s front side. Power Bank 501 does not require any special charging methods allowing users to recharge at any time. The included charger/adapter is designed to be universal – capable of charging in any country (with appropriate plug adapter), thus making it perfect for both business and leisure travel.
