Sanyo Electric announces eneloop Booster series, supporting iPad

- 1 September 2010
On October 21, 2010, Sanyo Electric will release new products in its eneloop Booster series, which keep mobile devices going when their battery runs out. The new models are the eneloop Mobile Booster, a lithium ion battery with USB output for smartphones and iPads, and the eneloop Stick Booster, a handy USB power supply, as well as a charging adapter for the Nintendo DS Series.

The eneloop Mobile Booster KBC-L2BS, with a built-in lithium ion battery, is a mobile power source for heavy users, with a high power output of up to one amp, which is twice the output of previous models. By controlling the current on the charger side, it's possible to stably charge devices like the iPad, which need a high current to charge. This model has two USB sockets, and when the output is 500 mA, it can charge two mobile phones at once.

The eneloop Stick Booster, which uses two eneloop AA batteries, is designed to be easy to carry. It's slim and light, weighing just 76 g including the batteries. This model makes charging mobile games and other devices easy.

The suggested retail prices for these products are 6,000 yen for the eneloop Mobile Booster, 2,980 yen for the eneloop Stick Booster, and 3,500 yen for the Nintendo DS eneloop Stick Booster, which is licensed by Nintendo.
