Duracell has been traditionally associated with the idea of portable power, so, periodically, the company comes up with new and improved power sources, which provide increasingly higher extra-functioning time for the user's various handhelds. And that's exactly the case with the PowerSource Mobile 100, launched back in the second half of 2007, a device that can boost an MP3 player's battery life (just to give an example) with up to 96 hours.



The Duracell PowerSource Mobile 100 is the portable, rechargeable AC and USB power solution that will extend the runtime of mobile electronics such as an iPod, BlackBerry, video camera, cell phone and more. Thus, the device can give a laptop an extra 2 hours of run time, can provide up to 18 extra hours of talk time for a normal mobile phone and up to 9 days of operating time for a BlackBerry, as well as an extra 8 hours of play time for a portable gaming console.



Furthermore, Duracell's product also features one AC outlet and two USB charge ports, so users can run or charge multiple devices simultaneously. It can provide a higher surge capacity for those products that require more power in order to start, and features a high level of efficiency, since it can convert virtually all of the battery's available power to AC.



And speaking of batteries, it's quite important to mention the fact that the Duracell PowerSource Mobile 100 is built around a 4 Ah Li-Polymer battery, but also provides certain important safety features, as for example an overload and over-temperature shutdown, an over-voltage protection, a low-voltage alarm and a low-voltage cut-out system.



The Duracell PowerSource Mobile 100 retails for around 100 US dollars, which makes it rather affordable, taking into account just how useful this thing can prove for the very mobile users.
