A Laptop Battery that Can Also Charge Other Electronic Devices

Tekkeon, a private company that manufactures accessories for different devices, has announced their new product, the myPower ALL Plus MP3450. The myPower ALL Plus MP3450 is an external laptop battery that can also be used to charge other electronic devices.

MyPower ALL Plus is a very handy device for tech geeks who always have a lot of gadgets with them. Aside from powering up your laptop, you can simultaneously charge another device through its USB port or DC Jack adapter. Gadgets like mobile phones, cameras, PDAs, MP3s, or other 5v devices can be charged at the same time you're powering your laptop.

The myPower ALL Plus can give your laptop an additional juice of up to 4 hours, though it would be lower if you're powering up a 17" laptop, according to the company's brochures.

The myPower ALL Plus MP3450 features a voltage selector so you can choose the right voltage for your portable device and automatically resets when an adapter is changed, providing an added safety feature to protect your precious gadgets. The device comes with 9 adapter tips and a retractable USB cable. If your gadget is not supported by their bundled adapters, they have additional adapters for sale on their website. MyPower ALL Plus MP3450 is very lightweight, weighing in at just 15.3 ounces, perfect for tech geeks on the go. You can purchase an optional extended battery to further extend additional battery hours for your devices.

Jerry Yang, president of Tekkeon, Inc. said that the company's new external battery is a must-have alternative for expensive notebook batteries. "Before needing to be recharged, our new lightweight battery can power a laptop up to four hours, provide up to six hours of extra play time on a portable DVD player, or up to 12 hours of recording time on a digital camcorder -- making it a truly universal mobile power solution."

A list of compatible devices can be found on the company's website. The myPower ALL Plus is also available in two other models, the MP3300 which provides up to 14V of power and the MP3400 which can provide up to 19V of power. The myPower ALL Plus MP3450 costs $159.95 and is available on Tekkeon on-line store or other major retailers and online stores like Buy.com, Mac-Pro.com, Micro Center, Kmart, Tigerdirect, and Newegg.com, to name a few. The optional extended battery pack can be bought for $99.95.
