If you're a mountaineer, an outdoor enthusiast, an athlete or just someone that has to go through a lot of rugged terrain in the course of your work, chances are, you probably have yourself a smartphone or device that can weather all those difficult environments. But what about your other accessories, shouldn't they be all-terrain too? That's the thinking behind a new Kickstarter project, the Poseidon Portable Charger, which claims to be the" first military-grade and waterproof mobile battery."
Built to give extra power to your smartphone, tablet, or action camera, the portable charger has the maximum rating of IP68, which means it is both waterproof and dustproof. More than that, it even has the military-grade standard of MIL-STD 810G which also gives it a shockproof ability. So it is actually the perfect companion for adventure seekers and outdoorsy people who can't part from their gadgets but will be out of wall socket range for a few hours or days.
When it comes to charging power, it has a dual-USB output system so you can charge two gadgets at the same time with its 8000mAh of power. It can give an average smartphone 3-5 times full capacity charge, a high-powered tablet 1-2x, and an action camera like a GoPro, around 5-7x of charging. It's also pretty small and handy, weighing just 8.43 ounces, and having a size of 5.74 x 3.19 x 5.1 inches, which will just fit into your back pocket.
The Kickstarter project has already reached its goal of $50,000 in pledges and it still has 43 days to go. All you have to do is shell out around $79 to be one of the first to get the Poseidon Portable Charger. The estimated delivery date for the mobile battery is by July this year.
