Portable power provider mophie has launched a new
product (via SlashGear) called the Powerstation with Lightning Connector.
Packed with a 5050mAh battery, the US$ 59.95 accessory can deliver enough power to
run an Apple iPhone X for 20 hours, a 10.5-inch Apple iPad Pro for 4 hours, and
an Apple iPad mini 4 for 7 hours. Unlike most power banks, this particular
model features a Lightning port, allowing iOS users to recharge the
Powerstation with the same cable they use to charge their Apple device. This
means that iPhone/iPad users no longer have to carry around an extra cable just
to charge the power bank.
The Powerstation with Lightning Connector is
available in three colors, Black, Space Gray and Red. With the Priority+
Charging feature, when the unit is plugged into an outlet, it will power a
connected device first before charging its own battery. In addition to the
Lightning Connector, this Powerstation sports a pair of USB-A ports, one with
10 watt fast charging capabilities, and the other charging at 5 watts. These
can be used with USB-C, micro USB, and Lightning charging cables, which means
that this Powerstation can charge all USB devices. And, it can charge multiple
units at one time.
A four light LED power indicator gives you the
charging status, and reveals how much battery life remains on the Powerstation.
The unit carries a two-year warranty and would make a welcome gift for that
iPhone clutching power user in your life, even if that person is yourself.
