POWER TO THE TRAVELER
I travel a lot and one of my great frustrations is
searching for a free electrical outlet in an airport to recharge my
laptop and cell phone. Suggestions?
There’s a product for people like you. The XPower
PowerSource Mobile 100, a pocket-size rechargeable lithium-ion
battery, can recharge a laptop to run for two hours, a cell phone for
12 hours or a BlackBerry for 34 hours. It can be recharged 300 times
before the battery needs replacement. It comes with two sockets for
USB cords and has a standard AC outlet so you don’t need any
additional adapter plugs. The $129 device weighs about a pound.
